The non-market value of reclaiming natural landscape and biodiversity: a Dutch case studyNARA Subscribed
Biodiversity and natural landscapes have been lost over time due to global agricultural expansion and urbanization. Our study assesses the non-market economic value of reclaiming natural landscapes in the Zuid-Limburg region of the Netherlands, a country in which large-scale intensive agriculture dominates rural landscapes. Through a discrete choice experiment conducted among non-residents of Zuid-Limburg, we find that individ...
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...
Finding the right plaice at the right time: Multi‐molecular analysis of flatfish reveals historical catch habitatsNARA Subscribed
Flatfish are ecologically diverse species that commonly occur in marine environments, but also in estuarine and riverine habitats. This complicates the examination of the potential role of flatfish in the ‘marine fish event horizon’, an economic shift in human exploitation from freshwater to marine fish species during the 10–11th centuries CE around the southern North Sea. This study represents the first multi‐disciplinary inv...
Urbanisation is rapidly altering ecosystems, leading to profound biodiversity loss. To mitigate these effects, we need a better understanding of how urbanisation impacts dispersal and reproduction. Two contrasting population demographic models have been proposed that predict that urbanisation either promotes (facilitation model) or constrains (fragmentation model) gene flow and genetic diversity. Which of these models prevails...
Exercise-induced myocardial T1 increase and right ventricular dysfunction in recreational cyclists: a CMR studyNARA Subscribed
Purpose Although cardiac troponin I (cTnI) increase following strenuous exercise has been observed, the development of exercise-induced myocardial edema remains unclear. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) native T1/T2 mapping is sensitive to the pathological increase of myocardial water content. Therefore, we evaluated exercise-induced acute myocardial changes in recreational cyclists by incorporating biomarkers, echocardiograph...
Sprint cycling rate of torque development associates with strength measurement in trained cyclistsNARA Subscribed
Purpose A cyclist’s rate of force/torque development (RFD/RTD) and peak force/torque can be measured during single-joint or whole-body isometric tests, or during cycling. However, there is limited understanding of the relationship between these measures, and of the mechanisms that contribute to each measure. Therefore, we examined the: (i) relationship between quadriceps central and peripheral neuromuscular function with RFD/R...
