Study area The study was conducted in the Araguari river basin, located in the Brazilian State of Amapá (Fig. 4). Climate in the area is characterized as equatorial monsoon44 with an annual rainfall greater than 2000 mm. The dry season extends between September and November (total monthly rainfall <150 mm), and the wet season from February to […] More
Violacein toxicity in larva and adult C. elegans To gain a deeper understanding of the effects of violacein on C. elegans physiology and development, we made a violacein-producing E. coli strain OP50 by transforming it with pCOM10vio plasmid, which expresses the five genes of the violacein operon under the PalkB promoter, commonly used in E. […] More

Influence of slope exposure on decay rates of the P. abies wood blocks Two years after the placement of the wood blocks onto the soil mesocosms (Figs. 1, S1), the decomposition of the P. abies wood blocks was still in its early stages. This is in line with the lack of differences in mass loss within […] More
The following chapter presents the insights gathered from the reconstruction of the historical dimension of wildlife trends and species occurrence gathered from the secondary data (literature and document) analysis followed by the expert interviews and community questionnaires. Wildlife and human-wildlife conflict trends Table 1 presents population estimates of the elephant, blue wildebeest, plains zebra, lion and African […] More
Growth stages of development are the longest and most variable To test the prediction that growth periods represent the longest and most variable phases of offspring development, we conducted a fine-scale analysis of developmental rates in a taxonomically diverse set of species (n = 20) with existing information on the timing of key developmental stages (Supplementary Fig. 1 […] More
