Local and Landscape‐Level Environmental Conditions Drive Habitat Selection Across Terrestrial Mammal SpeciesNARA Subscribed
Aim Animal movements are a fundamental process affecting communities and ecosystems. Quantifying habitat selection across species and habitats is key for understanding how animals respond to environmental change. Currently, we lack comparative studies that examine how habitat selection varies across species traits and landscapes. We aim to quantify global patterns of habitat selection to help understand the fundamental drivers...
The Toxicology Investigators Consortium 2024 Annual ReportNARA Subscribed
Molecular characterization of a biological sample, e.g., with omics approaches, is fundamental for the development and implementation of personalized and precision medicine approaches. In this context, quality assessment is one of the most critical aspects. Accurate performance and interpretation of omics techniques is based on consensus, harmonization, and standardization of protocols, procedures, data analysis and reference...
The small pelagic fish food landscape and its use by common terns Sterna hirundo in the Wadden SeaNARA Subscribed
Small pelagic fish (SPF) play a vital role in marine ecosystems, transferring energy from plankton to higher trophic levels. However, SPF dynamics in shallow coastal areas are often under-studied, despite their importance as crucial prey near breeding sites of fish-eating birds such as common terns ( Sterna hirundo ). This study had two connected objectives: to map the pelagic fish food landscape in the inlets of the Dutch Wad...
Microtubules, essential components of the cytoskeleton, are assembled from α/β-tubulin subunits by the γ-tubulin ring complex (γ-TuRC). Over the last five years, cryo-electron microscopy studies have advanced our structural and mechanistic understanding of this process by elucidating structures of the γ-TuRC from different organisms and, very recently, after microtubule nucleation under varying conditions.
Although biodiversity is crucial for Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), following the current trajectory, we risk failing SDG 15. Using a new indicator quantifying the loss of functional habitat (habitat that is simultaneously suitable and well-connected), we show that the real impact of renewable energy is far larger than previously assumed. Specifically, we estimate that the construction of hydropower reservoirs in south...
Evaluating expert‐based habitat suitability information of terrestrial mammals with GPS‐ tracking dataNARA Subscribed
Aim Macroecological studies that require habitat suitability data for many species often derive this information from expert opinion. However, expert‐based information is inherently subjective and thus prone to errors. The increasing availability of GPS tracking data offers opportunities to evaluate and supplement expert‐based information with detailed empirical evidence. Here, we compared expert‐based habitat suitability info...
A Two-Day Case Study: Comparison of Turbulence Data from an Unmanned Aircraft System with a Model Chain for Complex TerrainNARA Subscribed
The airborne measurement platform MASC-3 (Multi-Purpose Airborne Sensor Carrier) is used for measurements over a forested escarpment in the Swabian Alps to evaluate the wind field. Data from flight legs between 20 and 200 m above the ground on two consecutive days with uphill (westerly) flow in September 2018 are analyzed. In the lowest 140 m above the ground a speed-up is found with increased turbulence and changes in wind di...
Metabolite profiling and peptidoglycan analysis of transient cell wall‐deficient bacteria in a new E scherichia coli model systemNARA Subscribed
Summary Many bacteria are able to assume a transient cell wall‐deficient (or L ‐form) state under favourable osmotic conditions. Cell wall stress such as exposure to β‐lactam antibiotics can enforce the transition to and maintenance of this state. L ‐forms actively proliferate and can return to the walled state upon removal of the inducing agent. We have adopted E scherichia coli as a model system for the controlled transition...
