Understanding species coexistence is central in ecology. Competition and predation mix during intraguild predation (i.e. predators eliminating competitors). After recovery from historical crashes caused by persecution and pesticides, raptor populations can now be studied in more natural assemblages. We studied two avian top predators in a Dutch-German forest during 1969–2024. Here, Northern Goshawks ( Accipiter gentilis ) firs...
The first detected induced earthquake in the Netherlands was in 1986. Since then, the seismic network has largely been expanded and geared towards recording induced seismicity. Nearly 2000 events have been located and assigned a local magnitude. The impact of these events on the Earth’s surface can be assessed with help of ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs). In this study, we derive these GMPEs. Previously, GMPEs were...
Associations between metabolomic scores and clinical outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patientsNARA Subscribed
The disease course and outcome of COVID-19 greatly varies between individuals. To explore which biological systems may contribute to this variation, we examined how individual metabolites and three metabolic scores relate to COVID-19 outcomes in hospitalized COVID-19 patients. The metabolome of 346 patients was measured using the 1H-NMR Nightingale platform. The association of individual metabolomic features and multi-biomarke...
The performance of metabolomics-based prediction scores for mortality in older patients with solid tumorsNARA Subscribed
Prognostic information is needed to balance benefits and risks of cancer treatment in older patients. Metabolomics-based scores were previously developed to predict 5- and 10-year mortality (MetaboHealth) and biological age (MetaboAge). This study aims to investigate the association of MetaboHealth and MetaboAge with 1-year mortality in older patients with solid tumors, and to study their predictive value for mortality in addi...
The increasing need for renewable energy has led to the transition of renewable energy devices to the marine environment. Currently, mainly offshore wind farms have been completely developed and are operational in the North Sea. The solar energy sector is also rapidly evolving and floating photovoltaics are continuously created and deployed. In this study, we investigated the colonisation patterns and community changes with ti...
Plastics select for distinct early colonizing microbial populations with reproducible traits across environmental gradientsNARA Subscribed
Little is known about early plastic biofilm assemblage dynamics and successional changes over time. By incubating virgin microplastics along oceanic transects and comparing adhered microbial communities with those of naturally occurring plastic litter at the same locations, we constructed gene catalogues to contrast the metabolic differences between early and mature biofilm communities. Early colonization incubations were repr...
A size‐selective loss of smaller microplastics ( −3 ) and cellophane (density 1.42 g cm −3 ) were mainly consumed. Our data indicate that nonmigratory crustaceans had significantly higher levels of microplastic ingestion than migratory crustaceans at all depths available for comparison. While migratory fishes ingested microplastics at higher frequencies (0.28) than nonmigratory fishes (0.23), the frequency of microplastic inge...
Changes in the foliar fungal community between oak leaf flushes along a latitudinal gradient in EuropeNARA Subscribed
Aim Leaves support a large diversity of fungi, which are known to cause plant diseases, induce plant defences or influence leaf senescence and decomposition. To advance our understanding of how foliar fungal communities are structured and assembled, we assessed to what extent leaf flush and latitude can explain the within‐ and among‐tree variation in foliar fungal communities. Location A latitudinal gradient spanning c . 20 de...
Large quantities of small microplastics permeate the surface ocean to abyssal depths in the South Atlantic GyreNARA Subscribed
Hundreds of studies have surveyed plastic debris in surface ocean gyre and convergence zones, however, comprehensive microplastics (MPs, ≤5 mm) assessments beneath these surface accumulation areas are lacking. Using in situ high‐volume filtration, Manta net and MultiNet sampling, combined with micro‐Fourier‐transform‐infrared imaging, we discovered a high abundance (up to 244.3 pieces per cubic meter [n m −3 ]) of small microp...
Vertical migrations into shallower waters at night are beneficial for migrators as they reduce predation risk and allow migrators to encounter a higher density of prey. Nevertheless, ocean acoustics data and trawl data have shown that a portion of some vertically migrating populations remain at depth and do not migrate. One hypothesis for this phenomenon is the Hunger-Satiation hypothesis, which in part states that the non-mig...
We reconstructed middle to late Holocene changes in atmospheric circulation patterns and vegetation in north‐west Europe by applying novel geochemical techniques to the sediment record of Lake Uddelermeer (The Netherlands). A comparison of higher plant‐derived leaf wax n ‐alkane distributions archived in the lake sediments with those in living plant material, combined with palynological analysis, indicates that the vegetation...
