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...
Centenarians are perceived as pioneers of longevity, possessing the secrets to surpassing age 100. It remains unclear whether they achieve this by surviving, delaying, or avoiding diseases to a greater extent than their shorter-lived peers. This register-based study encompassed all individuals aged 60 and older, born between 1912 and 1922 in Stockholm County, Sweden ( N = 170,787). Using historical data, individuals were prosp...
Adaptive monitoring in action—what drives arthropod diversity and composition in central European beech forests?NARA Subscribed
Recent studies suggest that arthropod diversity in German forests is declining. Currently, different national programs are being developed to monitor arthropod trends and to unravel the effects of forest management on biodiversity in forests. To establish effective long-term monitoring programs, a set of drivers of arthropod diversity and composition as well as suitable species groups have to be identified. To aid in answering...
Strukturbiologie der systemischen AmyloidosenNARA Subscribed
Systemic amyloidosis refers to a group of diseases that are caused by the misfolding of proteins and their deposition as amyloid fibrils in various organs. Here we present an overview of the progress made in the understanding of the biochemical and structural characteristics of the pathogenic agents of these diseases, obtained by using cryo-electron microscopy. The observed structures provided insights in the molecular etiolog...
Comparing biomarker profiles measured at similar ages, but earlier in life, among exceptionally long-lived individuals and their shorter-lived peers can improve our understanding of aging processes. This study aimed to (i) describe and compare biomarker profiles at similar ages between 64 and 99 among individuals eventually becoming centenarians and their shorter-lived peers, (ii) investigate the association between specific b...
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures are frequent in the age group of 15–19 years, particularly for female athletes. Although injury-prevention programs effectively reduce severe knee injuries, little is known about the underlying mechanisms and changes of biomechanical risk factors. Thus, this study analyzes the effects of a neuromuscular injury-prevention program on biomechanical parameters associated with ACL injuries...
Erratum to: Half-a-century (1971–2020) of glacier shrinkage and climatic variability in the Bhaga basin, western HimalayaNARA Subscribed
The original online version of this article was revised. The position of the watershed names “Bhaga Upper” and “Bhaga Lower” were erroneously placed in Fig. 10 in the original article. Fig. 10 has been corrected as follows.
Half-a-century (1971–2020) of glacier shrinkage and climatic variability in the Bhaga basin, western HimalayaNARA Subscribed
Glacier shrinkage is a globally occurring phenomena. High-resolution change detection based on frequent mapping and monitoring of high-altitude glaciers is necessary to precisely evaluate future water availability and to understand glacier evolution under different climatic scenarios in the Hindukush-Karakoram-Himalayan (HKH) region. This also holds true for the Bhaga basin of the western Himalaya. This study investigates glac...
There is an urgent need for countries to transition their national food and land-use systems toward food and nutritional security, climate stability, and environmental integrity. How can countries satisfy their demands while jointly delivering the required transformative change to achieve global sustainability targets? Here, we present a collaborative approach developed with the FABLE—Food, Agriculture, Biodiversity, Land, and...
Reproductive homing and fine‐scaled genetic structuring of anadromous Baltic Sea perch ( Perca fluviatilis )NARA Subscribed
To investigate the population dynamics of anadromous Baltic Sea perch Perca fluviatilis (Linnaeus), we studied the migratory behaviour (arrival to spawning location) and population structure (genetic structure and differentiation) of three closely located (
Lithium and boron are trace components of magmas, released during exsolution of a gas phase during volcanic activity. In this study, we determine the diffusivity and isotopic fractionation of Li and B in hydrous silicate melts. Two glasses were synthesized with the same rhyolitic composition (4.2 wt% water), having different Li and B contents; these were studied in diffusion-couple experiments that were performed using an inte...
