Species identification and recording in breeding bird surveys vastly rely on the registration of avian calls and songs. Despite comprehensive expert knowledge on species-specific activity patterns, data-based analyses of vocal activity patterns are lacking. Recent advances in passive acoustic monitoring allow the direct measurement of bird vocal activity at very high temporal resolution. We conducted a comprehensive survey, re...
Purpose During rapid exposure to hypobaric hypoxia (HH), arterial oxygen tension and haemoglobin oxygen saturation decrease. The oxygen dissociation curve (ODC) describes the relationship of oxygen tension and haemoglobin oxygen saturation. Previous methods for ODC determination are mostly limited to standard conditions (40 mmHg PCO 2 , 37 °C), and measurements of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate (2,3-BPG) and adenosine triphosphate (A...
Anadromous rainbow smelt ( Osmerus mordax , [Mitchill 1814]) are found along the northeast Atlantic coastline of North America, with their range now limited to north of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, USA. Although their anadromous life cycles are described broadly, gaps remain regarding how adult rainbow smelt use estuaries post‐spawning, including movement behaviors, habitats used, and specific timing of emigration to coastal water...
The Toarcian Posidonia Shale at Salem (North Alpine Foreland Basin; South Germany): hydrocarbon potential and paleogeographyNARA Subscribed
The Posidonia Shale in the basement of the North Alpine Foreland Basin of southwestern Germany represents an important archive for environmental changes during the Toarcian oceanic anoxic event and the associated carbon isotope excursion (T-CIE). It is also an important hydrocarbon source rock. In the Salem borehole, the Posidonia Shale is ~ 10 m thick. The lower 7.5 m (1763.5–1756.0 m) of the Posidonian Shale and the uppermos...
Use of human predictive patch test (HPPT) data for the classification of skin sensitization hazard and potencyNARA Subscribed
Since the 1940s, patch tests in healthy volunteers (Human Predictive Patch Tests, HPPTs) have been used to identify chemicals that cause skin sensitization in humans. Recently, we reported the results of a major curation effort to support the development of OECD Guideline 497 on Defined Approaches (DAs) for skin sensitization (OECD in Guideline No. 497: Defined Approaches on Skin Sensitisation, 2021a. https://doi.org/10.1787/b...
Critical to the evaluation of non-animal tests are reference data with which to assess their relevance. Animal data are typically used because they are generally standardized and available. However, when regulatory agencies aim to protect human health, human reference data provide the benefit of not having to account for possible interspecies variability. To support the evaluation of non-animal approaches for skin sensitizatio...
The Application of Coffee Pulp Biochar Improves the Physical, Chemical, and Biological Characteristics of Soil for Coffee CultivationNARA Subscribed
A field experiment was conducted for 2 years (2019 and 2020) to determine the response to the application of Biochar (BC) obtained from the coffee pulp in combination with chemical fertilization (CF) in coffee trees. The established treatments were the edaphic application of different doses of BC (0, 4, 8, and 16 t ha −1 ) and levels of CF (0, 33, 66, and 100% of the nutritional requirements) on the physical (bulk density (ρ a...
Towards an understanding of future range shifts in lichens and mosses under climate changeNARA Subscribed
Aim Lichens and mosses play important functional roles in all terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in tundra and drylands. As with all taxa, to maintain their current niche in a changing climate, lichens and mosses will have to migrate. However, there are no published estimates of future habitat suitability or necessary rates of migration for members of these groups at the global scale. Taxon Lichens and mosses. Location Globa...
Biomarker and compound-specific isotope records across the Toarcian CIE at the Dormettingen section in SW GermanyNARA Subscribed
The Toarcian oceanic anoxic event (T-OAE) is associated with a prominent negative carbon isotope excursion (CIE; ~ 183 million years (Myr)). About 10-m-thick organic matter-rich sediments accumulated during the T-OAE in the Southwest German Basin (SWGB). Rock–Eval, maceral and biomarker analysis were used to determine variations of environmental conditions across the CIE interval. Carbon isotope records were determined for var...
Key message Resistance QTL on chromosomes 1AL and 7AL are effective against common and dwarf bunt, QTL on 1BS affects common bunt and QTL on 7DS affects dwarf bunt in bread wheat. Abstract Common bunt, caused by Tilletia caries and T. laevis , and dwarf bunt, caused by T. controversa , negatively affect grain yield and quality of wheat and are particularly destructive in low-input and organic production systems. Two recombinan...
Red king crab larval advection in Bristol Bay: Implications for recruitment variabilityNARA Subscribed
Recruitment variability is poorly understood for Bering Sea crab stocks. The nearshore area in southwest Bristol Bay (Alaska, USA) is hypothesized as having historically (i.e., prior to ~ 1980) been the most important spawning ground for Bristol Bay red king crab ( Paralithodes camtschaticus ) because post‐larvae are thought to have been most likely to reach optimal settlement habitat along the Alaska Peninsula when hatched fr...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
Competition influences tree growth, but not mortality, across environmental gradients in Amazonia and tropical AfricaNARA Subscribed
Competition among trees is an important driver of community structure and dynamics in tropical forests. Neighboring trees may impact an individual tree’s growth rate and probability of mortality, but large‐scale geographic and environmental variation in these competitive effects has yet to be evaluated across the tropical forest biome. We quantified effects of competition on tree‐level basal area growth and mortality for trees...
Genetic mapping of the common and dwarf bunt resistance gene Bt12 descending from the wheat landrace PI119333NARA Subscribed
Common bunt (CB), caused by Tilletia caries and T. foetida , and dwarf bunt (DB), caused by T. controversa , are particularly destructive diseases of wheat grown under organic (low-input) production conditions and negatively affect both grain yield and quality. A total of 16 race specific bunt resistance genes have been proposed to date. Thereof, only Bt9 and Bt10 have been mapped so far. A mapping and two validation populatio...
The principle of dynamic liver function breath tests is founded on the administration of a 13 C-labeled drug and subsequent monitoring of 13 CO 2 in the breath, quantified as time series delta over natural baseline 13 CO 2 (DOB) liberated from the drug during hepatic CYP-dependent detoxification. One confounding factor limiting the diagnostic value of such tests is that only a fraction of the liberated 13 CO 2 is immediately e...
