Biomarkers are increasingly recognized as sensitive indicators of physiological and ecological responses in marine organisms, offering new perspectives for monitoring and ecosystem status assessment. Traditional indices of species composition and biomass, though valuable, often fail to capture early sublethal or functional changes in zooplankton communities. To explore the potential of biomarkers as complementary tools for env...
Citizen science involves non-professionals assisting with scientific research, contributing data, and conducting experiments under professional guidance. In this paper, we describe the citizen science project DNA & life , based at the Natural History Museum of Denmark, which actively engages high school students in both fieldwork and advanced laboratory analyses by collecting and analyzing eDNA samples from marine environments...
Influence of deoxynivalenol-contaminated feed on the immune response of pigs after PRRSV vaccination and infectionNARA Subscribed
The impact of the Fusarium mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) on the immune response against porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSV) vaccination and infection was investigated. Forty-two weaned piglets were separated into seven groups and received three different diets: Low DON (1.09 ppm), High DON (2.81 ppm) or No DON. These three treatments were split further into either vaccinated (Ingelvac PRRSFLEX EU) and...
Zinc is the second most prevalent metal element present in living organisms, and control of its concentration is pivotal to physiology. The amount of zinc available to the cell cytoplasm is regulated by the activity of members of the SLC39 family, the ZIP proteins. Selectivity of ZIP transporters has been the focus of earlier studies which provided a biochemical and structural basis for the selectivity for zinc over other meta...
Egg microbiota is the starting point of hatchling gut microbiota in the endangered yellow‐spotted Amazon river turtleNARA Subscribed
Establishment and development of gut microbiota during vertebrates' early life are likely to be important predictors of health and fitness. Host‐parental and host‐environment interactions are essential to these processes. In oviparous reptiles whose nests represent a source of the parent's microbial inocula, the relative role of host‐selection and stochastic environmental factors during gut microbial assemblage remains unknown...
Grundwasser in ehemaligen deutschen Steinkohlenrevieren – ein wissenschaftlicher Blickwinkel auf GrubenflutungenNARA Subscribed
Zusammenfassung Zum Ende des Jahres 2018 wurde in Deutschland der Steinkohlenbergbau eingestellt. Damit beginnt auch in den bis zuletzt aktiven Revieren die Phase des Nachbergbaus inklusive einer dauerhaften Wasserhaltung. Diese beinhaltet typischerweise eine teilweise Grubenflutung und die Ableitung von Grubenwasser in nahegelegene Vorfluter. Im Blickpunkt der öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Diskussion stehen bergbauliche...
Viruses and atypical bacteria in the respiratory tract of immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients with airway infectionNARA Subscribed
Respiratory tract infections (RTI) can take a serious course under immunosuppression. Data on the impact of the underlying pathogens are still controversial. Samples from the upper ( n = 322) and lower RT ( n = 169) were collected from 136 children and 355 adults; 225 among them have been immunocompromised patients. Exclusion criteria were presence of relevant cultivable microorganisms, C-reactive protein > 20 mg/dl, or procal...
