Aims The current study quantified the carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) transfer from peas to oats under field conditions to assess the effects of intercropping. The data obtained were compared with previously published pot and field experiments. Methods Pea ( Pisum sativum L. cv. Santana) and oat ( Avena sativa L. cv Dominik) plants were grown as intercrops for 105 days. Pea plants were labelled with a solution of 2% 13 C glucose (...

Chronic hyperglycemia, as in diabetes mellitus, may cause glomerular damage with microalbuminuria as an early sign. Noteworthy, even acute hyperglycemia can increase glomerular permeability before structural damage of the glomerular filter can be detected. Despite intensive research, specific antiproteinuric therapy is not available so far. Thus, a deeper understanding of the molecular mechanisms of albuminuria is desirable. P...

We studied the genetic population structure and phylogeography of the montane caddisfly Drusus discolor across its entire range in central and southern Europe. The species is restricted to mountain regions and exhibits an insular distribution across the major mountain ranges. Mitochondrial sequence data (COI) of 254 individuals from the entire species range is analysed to reveal population genetic structure. The data show litt...
