Antibiofilm activity of essential oils and plant extracts against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli biofilms
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Bacterial biofilms pose health risks in clinical environments, food industry and drinking water systems. Here, we investigated in vitro antibiofilm activities of essential oils (EO) and plant extracts of peppermint (Mentha ... -
Antiparasite treatments reduce humoral immunity and impact oxidative status in raptor nestlings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Parasites are natural stressors that may have multiple negative effects on their host as they usurp energy and nutrients and may lead to costly immune responses that may cause oxidative stress. At early stages, animals ... -
Apparent breeding success drives long-term population dynamics of a migratory swan
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The ability of a species to adapt to environmental change is ultimately reflected in its vital rates – i.e. survival and reproductive success of individuals. Together, vital rates determine trends in numbers, commonly ... -
Apparent nutrient and fatty acid digestibilities of microbial raw materials for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) with comparison to conventional ingredients
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Determination of apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) of ingredients has a central importance in formulation of aquaculture diets. Heterotrophic and phototrophic grown microalgae are considered as one of the best ... -
Application of quantitative transcriptomics in evaluating the ex vivo effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances on Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) ovarian physiology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Because of their global consumption and persistence, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), are ubiquitously distributed in the environment, as well as in wildlife and humans. In the present study, we have employed ... -
Applying artificial intelligence methods to detect and classify fish calls from the northern gulf of mexico
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Passive acoustic monitoring is a method that is commonly used to collect long-term data on soniferous animal presence and abundance. However, these large datasets require substantial effort for manual analysis; therefore, ... -
Applying Multi-Temporal Landsat Satellite Data and Markov-Cellular Automata to Predict Forest Cover Change and Forest Degradation of Sundarban Reserve Forest, Bangladesh
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Overdependence on and exploitation of forest resources have significantly transformed the natural reserve forest of Sundarban, which shares the largest mangrove territory in the world, into a great degradation status. By ... -
Arabidopsis mutants impaired in glutathione biosynthesis exhibit higher sensitivity towards the glucosinolate hydrolysis product allyl-isothiocyanate
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Upon tissue damage the plant secondary metabolites glucosinolates can generate various hydrolysis products, including isothiocyanates (ITCs). Their role in plant defence against insects and pest and their potential health ... -
Arabidopsis myrosinases link the glucosinolate-myrosinase system and the cuticle.
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)Both physical barriers and reactive phytochemicals represent two important components of a plant’s defence system against environmental stress. However, these two defence systems have generally been studied independently. ... -
Arabidopsis thaliana MIRO1 and MIRO2 GTPases Are Unequally Redundant in Pollen Tube Growth and Fusion of Polar Nuclei during Female Gametogenesis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)MIRO GTPases have evolved to regulate mitochondrial trafficking and morphology in eukaryotic organisms. A previous study showed that T-DNA insertion in the Arabidopsis MIRO1 gene is lethal during embryogenesis and affects ... -
An archipelago within an archipelago: A checklist of liverworts and hornworts of Kepulauan Sunda Kecil (Lesser Sunda Islands), Indonesia and Timor-Leste (East Timor)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)The first ever liverwort and hornwort checklist is provided for the Kepulauan Sunda Kecil (Lesser Sunda Islands) of Indonesia and Timor-Leste (East Timor). We report 129 accepted taxa, 12 doubtful taxa and three rejected ... -
Arctic complexity: A case study on diel vertical migration of zooplankton
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014) -
Are bioplastics and plant-based materials safer than conventional plastics? In vitro toxicity and chemical composition
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Plastics contain a complex mixture of known and unknown chemicals; some of which can be toxic. Bioplastics and plant-based materials are marketed as sustainable alternative to conventional plastics. However, little is known ... -
Are cuckoos maximizing egg mimicry by selecting host individuals with better matching egg phenotypes?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)Background: Avian brood parasites and their hosts are involved in complex offence-defense coevolutionary arms races. The most common pair of reciprocal adaptations in these systems is egg discrimination by hosts and egg ... -
Are immigrants outbred and unrelated? Testing fundamental assumptions in a wild metapopulation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021) -
Are model organisms representative for climate change research? Testing thermal tolerance in wild and laboratory zebrafish populations
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Model organisms can be useful for studying climate change impacts, but it is unclear whether domestication to laboratory conditions has altered their thermal tolerance and therefore how representative of wild populations ... -
Are We Speaking the Same Language? Recommendations for a Definition and Categorization Framework for Plastic Debris
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)The accumulation of plastic litter in natural environments is a global issue. Concerns over potential negative impacts on the economy, wildlife, and human health provide strong incentives for improving the sustainable use ... -
Artificial light during the polar night disrupts Arctic fish and zooplankton behavior down to 200 m depth
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)For organisms that remain active in one of the last undisturbed and pristine dark environments on the planet—the Arctic Polar Night—the moon, stars and aurora borealis may provide important cues to guide distribution and ... -
Artificial Reef Effect in relation to Offshore Renewable Energy Conversion: State of the Art
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)The rapid worldwide growth of offshore renewable energy production will provide marine organisms with new hard substrate for colonization, thus acting as artificial reefs. The artificial reef effect is important when ... -
Artificial selection on allometry: change in elevation but not slope
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)To what extent within-species (static) allometries constitute a constraint on evolution is the subject of a long-standing debate in evolutionary biology. A prerequisite for the constraint hypothesis is that static allometries ...
