Brown trout ( Salmo trutta ) has adapted to a wide range of habitats and displays a variety of life‐history strategies. Being facultatively anadromous, populations without migration barriers to the sea consist of both resident and anadromous individuals in different proportions. This affects genetic drift and the level of gene flow between populations, and therefore shapes the metapopulation structure. Here, utilizing genetic...

Finite volume methods are prevalent in reservoir simulation due to their mass conservation properties and their ability to handle complex grids. However, a simple and consistent finite volume method for elasticity was unavailable until the recently developed two-point stress approximation finite volume method (TPSA). In this work, we show how to couple TPSA to an established flow simulator, using OPM Flow as our primary exampl...

Purpose The DANFLU-1 trial suggested lower incidence of hospitalizations for pneumonia and influenza, respiratory disease and all-cause mortality among older adults receiving high-dose (HD-IV) versus standard-dose (SD-IV) influenza vaccine. This study assessed the relative effectiveness of HD-IV versus SD-IV according to comorbidity in elderly individuals. Methods This was a post-hoc analysis of the DANFLU-1 randomized control...

We present a history matching (HM) workflow applied to the International FluidFlower benchmark study dataset, which features high-resolution images of CO $$_2$$ 2 storage in a meter-scale, geologically complex reservoir. The dataset provides dense spatial and temporal observations of fluid displacement, offering a rare opportunity to validate and enhance HM techniques for geological carbon storage (GCS). The combination of det...

The protein composition of tear fluid (TF) reflects the severity and progression of many age-related diseases. Here, we evaluated TF proteins from patients with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and cognitively healthy controls (CO) to explore potential new biomarker molecules. The aim of this study was to explore potential new biomarker molecules by examining the expression of TF proteins whose function is related to neuroinflamm...

Taxonomic confusion and limited data have impeded species-level biogeographic analyses of the world’s largest bony fishes, ocean sunfishes (Molidae; ‘molids’), in many ecosystems. However, recent advances in molid taxonomy and the emergence of photo-based community-science platforms provide an opportunity to revisit species-level biogeography. In this study, we use crowd-sourced images of 1,213 ocean sunfishes to determine if...

Given the importance of soil for the global carbon cycle, it is essential to understand not only how much carbon soil stores but also how long this carbon persists. Previous studies have shown that the amount and age of soil carbon are strongly affected by the interaction of climate, vegetation, and mineralogy. However, these findings are primarily based on studies from temperate regions and from fine‐scale studies, leaving la...

The residual circulation in estuaries determines the net exchange of water, heat, salt, fine sediments and drifting biological organisms between estuarine and nearshore marine waters. The Bons Sinais Estuary in central Mozambique is ~ 30 km long with the city of Quelimane and an industrial port on the northern bank of its upper reaches. To investigate residual circulation in the estuary, seasonal (wet, dry and transition seaso...

Motivation Trait variation within species can reveal plastic and/or genetic responses to environmental gradients, and may indicate where local adaptation has occurred. Here, we present a dataset of rangewide variation in leaf traits from seven of the most ecologically and economically important tree species in Europe. Sample collection and trait assessment are embedded in the GenTree project (EU‐Horizon 2020), which aims at ch...

African tigerfish Hydrocynus vittatus ( n = 35) were tagged with external radio‐transmitters in the Kavango River, Namibia, to determine whether freshwater protected areas could be an effective tool for the management and conservation of this species. They were manually tracked in the core study area of 33 km every c . 12 days from July–October 2016 to May 2017 for between 123 to 246 days. In addition, 14 extended surveys were...

Intensively managed grasslands are globally prominent ecosystems. We investigated whether experimental increases in plant diversity in intensively managed grassland communities can increase their resource use efficiency. This work consisted of a coordinated, continental‐scale 33‐site experiment. The core design was 30 plots, representing 15 grassland communities at two seeding densities. The 15 communities comprised four monoc...
