Tracing population structure and dispersal of planktonic organisms is a challenging yet crucial task, as it helps identify how populations are connected across regions, detect isolated or vulnerable populations and anticipate how human-driven changes in ocean may alter these dynamics. Here, we used the top predator Cyanea capillata , a bloom-forming jellyfish, as a target organism since its population structure, dispersal and...
Rationale Developing adaptive strategies for survival relies on distinguishing danger from safety through aversive learning mechanisms. Chronic and acute nicotine exposure have been linked to impaired aversive learning and reduced discrimination between threat and safety. Yet, it is unclear if nicotine also impacts one behavioural consequence of aversive learning, which is the avoidance of threats. Objectives This preregistere...
The escalating challenges of antibiotic resistance in bacterial pathogens have necessitated the exploration of alternative therapeutic strategies. Among these, bacteriophage therapy has regained attention as a promising approach to combat multidrug-resistant bacteria. Bacteriophages are viruses that infect and lyse specific bacterial strains, making them attractive candidates for targeted antimicrobial treatment. Burkholderia...
Distance decay 2.0 – A global synthesis of taxonomic and functional turnover in ecological communitiesNARA Subscribed
Aim Understanding the variation in community composition and species abundances (i.e., β‐diversity) is at the heart of community ecology. A common approach to examine β‐diversity is to evaluate directional variation in community composition by measuring the decay in the similarity among pairs of communities along spatial or environmental distance. We provide the first global synthesis of taxonomic and functional distance decay...
EurOP2E – the European Open Platform for Prescribing Education, a consensus study among clinical pharmacology and therapeutics teachersNARA Subscribed
Purpose Sharing and developing digital educational resources and open educational resources has been proposed as a way to harmonize and improve clinical pharmacology and therapeutics (CPT) education in European medical schools. Previous research, however, has shown that there are barriers to the adoption and implementation of open educational resources. The aim of this study was to determine perceived opportunities and barrier...
Exploring possible links between Quaternary aggradation in the Upper Rhine Graben and the glaciation history of northern SwitzerlandNARA Subscribed
The Quaternary filling of the Upper Rhine Graben is an excellent archive to reconstruct sediment dynamics in response to climate change, in particular related to past glaciations of the Swiss Alpine Foreland. Here, a sediment sequence recovered by drilling for exploration purposes near Kronau is investigated, using a combination of sedimentological logging, provenance studies (heavy minerals and clast petrography), and lumines...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
The effect of protected areas on forest disturbance in the Carpathian Mountains 1985–2010NARA Subscribed
Protected areas are a cornerstone for forest protection, but they are not always effective during times of socioeconomic and institutional crises. The Carpathian Mountains in Eastern Europe are an ecologically outstanding region, with widespread seminatural and old‐growth forest. Since 1990, Carpathian countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, and Ukraine) have experienced economic hardship and institution...
Comparative genome analysis of P seudomonas knackmussii B 13, the first bacterium known to degrade chloroaromatic compoundsNARA Subscribed
Summary P seudomonas knackmussii B 13 was the first strain to be isolated in 1974 that could degrade chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons. This discovery was the prologue for subsequent characterization of numerous bacterial metabolic pathways, for genetic and biochemical studies, and which spurred ideas for pollutant bioremediation. In this study, we determined the complete genome sequence of B 13 using next generation sequencin...
