Coastal areas are dynamic environments shaped by the interaction between natural processes and human activities. Rapid urbanization and land use transformations increasingly threaten the ecological integrity and spatial ...

Coupled carbon/climate models are predicting changes in Amazon carbon and water cycles for the near future, with conversion of forest into savanna-like vegetation. However, empirical data to support these models are stil...

Abstract Selenoproteins incorporate the rare selenium-containing amino acid selenocysteine (Sec) and play crucial roles for redox homeostasis, stress response, and hormone regulation. Sec is inserted by co-translational ...

Abstract Background Understanding and predicting the dynamics of rodent populations, particularly for endangered or pest species, requires knowledge of potential background factors. We collected long-term data on the abu...

Beetles of the family Zopheridae (Coleoptera, Tenebrionoidea) are rarely reported from Bulgaria and available data on their distribution in the country are scarce. Here, we provide an updated checklist of the family, bas...

This data paper describes bacterial and fungal communities associated with the sponge Chondrilla nucula collected from two Eastern Mediterranean populations (North and South Aegean Sea) and maintained under controlled co...

Falcinebria Ledoux & Roux, 2005 is a subgenus of Nebria Latreille, 1802 that shows marked differentiation in Japan, but its diversity has not yet been fully elucidated.This study describes two new species of this...

Modelling is one way of helping policymakers assess the impacts of different drivers on biodiversity and ecosystems, as well as the feedbacks on drivers generated by those impacts (from Chapter 3). Modelling provides too...

Marine microbial plankton hold high structuraland functional diversity, however, high-resolution data are lacking in a largepart of the Global Ocean. The Burdwood Bank (BB) hosts rich benthicbiodiversity in low chlorophy...

Identifying high-quality habitats across large areas is a central goal in biodiversity conservation. Remotely sensed data provide the opportunity to study different habitat characteristics (e.g., landscape topography, so...
