Large differences in catch per unit of effort between two minnow trap models
(Springer, 2013)
Background: Little is known about variation in catch per unit of effort (CPUE) in stickleback fisheries, or the factors
explaining this variation. We investigated how nine-spined stickleback (Pungitius pungitius) CPUE was ...
Large variation in mitochondrial DNA of sexual and parthenogenetic Dahlica triquetrella (Lepidoptera: Psychidae) shows multiple origins of parthenogenesis
(BioMed Central, 2013)
Background:
Obligate parthenogenesis is relatively rare in animals. Still, in some groups it is quite common and
has evolved and persisted multiple times. These groups may provide important clues to help solve the
‘
paradox ...
On the (un)coupling of the chromophore, tongue interactions and overall conformation in a bacterial phytochrome
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Inc., 2018)
Phytochromes are photoreceptors in plants, fungi, and various microorganisms and cycle between metastable red light–absorbing (Pr) and far-red light–absorbing (Pfr) states. Their light responses are thought to follow a ...
Muon-capture strength functions in intermediate nuclei of 0νββ decays
(American Physical Society, 2019)
Capture rates of ordinary muon capture (OMC) to the intermediate nuclei of neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decays of current experimental interest are computed. The corresponding OMC (capture-rate) strength functions have ...
Numerical construction of the density-potential mapping
(Springer, 2018)
We demonstrate how a recently developed method Nielsen et al. [Nielsen et al., EPL 101, 33001 (2013)] allows for a comprehensive investigation of time-dependent density functionals in general, and of the exact time-dependent ...
Rare-Earth Cyclobutadienyl Sandwich Complexes : Synthesis, Structure and Dynamic Magnetic Properties
(Wiley, 2018)
The potassium cyclobutadienyl [K2{η4‐C4(SiMe3)4}] (1) reacts with MCl3(THF)3.5 (M=Y, Dy) to give the first rare‐earth cyclobutadienyl complexes, that is, the complex anions [M{η4‐C4(SiMe3)4}{η4‐C4(SiMe3)3‐κ‐(CH2SiMe2}]2−, ...
The effect of social information from live demonstrators compared to video playback on blue tit foraging decisions
(PeerJ, Ltd., 2019)
Video playback provides a promising method to study social interactions, and the number of video playback experiments has been growing in recent years. Using videos has advantages over live individuals as it increases the ...
A hidden species becoming visible : biogeography and ecology of Rhynchotalona latens (Cladocera, Anomopoda, Chydoridae)
(Springer Netherlands, 2019)
A long hidden chydorid (Chydoridae, Cladocera) taxon, first found as fossil specimens and recently redefined as Rhynchotalona latens (Sarmaja-Korjonen et al., Hydrobiologia 436: 165–169, 2000) is investigated for its ...
On-chip purification via liquid immersion of arc-discharge synthesized multiwalled carbon nanotubes
(Springer, 2016)
Arc-discharge synthesized multiwalled carbon
nanotubes (AD-MWNT) have been proven to be of high
quality, but their use is very limited due to difficulties in
obtaining them in a clean and undamaged form. Here, we
present ...
Species’ ecological functionality alters the outcome of fish stocking success predicted by a food-web model
(Royal Society Publishing, 2018)
Fish stocking is used worldwide in conservation and management, but its effects on food-web dynamics and ecosystem stability are poorly known. To better understand these effects and predict the outcomes of stocking, we ...
