Floods have caused severe damage in Austria in recent years, and climate change is expected to increase flood risks in the future. While Austria has an advanced hydrological measurement network for flood monitoring and prediction, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data from satellites can provide valuable additional information. This study presents a well-established Bayesian flood mapping approach that automatically retrieves fl...
The phenotypic diversity between castes in social species has been associated with increased regulation of gene expression. while the regulatory role of transcription factors (TFs) in the social transitions of Hymenoptera (bees, ants and wasps) is well studied, it remains poorly explored in Blattodea (cockroaches and termites). By analysing three cockroach and five termite genomes, we show that while Blattodea share some conve...
Defining an ageing-related pathology, disease or syndrome: International Consensus StatementNARA Subscribed
Around the world, individuals are living longer, but an increased average lifespan does not always equate to an increased health span. With advancing age, the increased prevalence of ageing-related diseases can have a significant impact on health status, functional capacity and quality of life. It is therefore vital to develop comprehensive classification and staging systems for ageing-related pathologies, diseases and syndrom...
Offshore application of landslide susceptibility mapping using gradient-boosted decision trees: a Gulf of Mexico case studyNARA Subscribed
Among natural hazards occurring offshore, submarine landslides pose a significant risk to offshore infrastructure installations attached to the seafloor. With the offshore being important for current and future energy production, there is a need to anticipate where future landslide events are likely to occur to support planning and development projects. Using the northern Gulf of Mexico (GoM) as a case study, this paper perfor...
Purpose of Review The unique properties of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) have seen their widespread adoption, subsequent accumulation in the environment and concern regarding potential environmental effects. Globally, airfields and paved firefighting training surfaces are hotspots for accumulation of PFAS due to extensive use of aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF). Evidence from contaminated concrete and asphalt ai...
More effective transposon regulation in fertile, long‐lived termite queens than in sterile workersNARA Subscribed
Transposable elements (TEs) are mobile genetic sequences, which can cause the accumulation of genomic damage in the lifetime of an organism. The regulation of TEs, for instance via the piRNA‐pathway, is an important mechanism to protect the integrity of genomes, especially in the germ‐line where mutations can be transmitted to offspring. In eusocial insects, soma and germ‐line are divided among worker and reproductive castes,...
The Anthropocene as an Event, not an EpochNARA Subscribed
Over the course of the last decade the concept of the Anthropocene has become widely established within and beyond the geoscientific literature but its boundaries remain undefined. Formal definition of the Anthropocene as a chronostratigraphical series and geochronological epoch following the Holocene, at a fixed horizon and with a precise global start date, has been proposed, but fails to account for the diachronic nature of...
