Surface and Tropospheric Climatic Trends in the Galápagos Archipelago Based on the Galápagos Archipelago Refined Analysis DatasetNARA Subscribed
The Galápagos Archipelago, located on the equator in the eastern Pacific, exhibits pronounced seasonal and interannual climate variability influenced primarily by the Inter‐Tropical Convergence Zone and the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Despite its ecological significance and vulnerability to climatic changes, limited observational data has hindered long‐term analyses of climate trends in the region. This study leverage...
Circulating Cancer-Associated Fibroblasts (cCAFs) have been identified in circulating tumor cell clusters from all stages of disease progression in breast cancer patients. We have shown that CAFs promote lung metastases in the mouse tail vein model when they are clustered with triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) MDA-MB231 cells. Following on this observation, we saw that MDA-MB231-luciferase labeled cells persist at higher le...
Bridging the Energy Balance Gap in Eddy‐Covariance Measurements: Insights From Standardized Network DataNARA Subscribed
The lack of energy balance closure in Eddy‐Covariance (EC) measurements is a well‐known, still unresolved challenge in micrometeorology, with energy balance closure (EBC) rates typically ranging between 60% and 80%. While numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain this imbalance, the relative contributions of neglected energy storage terms, data quality and flux processing options remain insufficiently disentangled. Usi...
Analysis of the Meso‐Scale Climate of the Galápagos Archipelago by Dynamical Downscaling of Reanalysis DataNARA Subscribed
The Galápagos Archipelago exhibits a unique and high endemic biodiversity that is strongly affected by climate variability, mainly caused by the El Niño‐Southern Oscillation phenomenon. However, there exist few climate datasets for the islands and a long‐term climate dataset at the meso‐scale is not available. We present the Galápagos Archipelago Refined analysis dataset (GAR), a dynamically downscaled dataset of 2 h temporal...
Adventively established Leptopilina japonica: a new opportunity for augmentative biocontrol of Drosophila suzukiiNARA Subscribed
The invasive spotted-wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii , has emerged as a significant global pest over the past decade, threatening fruit production worldwide. The parasitoid Leptopilina japonica , presumed native to East Asia, has established adventive populations in Europe and North America and is increasingly recognized for its ability to parasitize substantial proportions of D. suzukii larvae across diverse habitats. Her...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Adaptive sampling with PIXL on the Mars Perseverance roverNARA Subscribed
Synthetic cannabinoids (SCs) are consumed as an alternative to cannabis. Novel compounds are developed by minor modifications in their chemical structure, e.g. insertion of a carboxamide moiety as a linker, which can potentially lead to altered toxicokinetics (TK). Knowledge on the TK data of SCs, especially structural modified substances, is scarce. Hence, interpretation of toxicological results is challenging. Therefore, the...
Fine mapping a QTL for BYDV-PAV resistance in maizeNARA Subscribed
Barley yellow dwarf (BYD) is one of the economically most important virus diseases of cereals worldwide, causing yield losses up to 80%. The means to control BYD are limited, and the use of genetically resistant cultivars is the most economical and environmentally friendly approach. The objectives of this study were i) to identify the causative gene for BYD virus (BYDV)-PAV resistance in maize, ii) to identify single nucleotid...
