Fungal status of the new winery before the arrival of the first harvest The fungal diversity on the WREs of a new winery operating exclusively in spontaneous fermentation was studied to determine the fungal status of the winery before the arrival of the first harvest (T0 2016). Samples were collected from the floor, walls, new […] More

Moscow We analyzed appearance of high CO2 events in two altitude layers (4.0–4.5 km and 1.0–1.5 km) over Moscow Domodedovo Airport (DME) as a function of wind direction and speed (Fig. 1a,b). These plots indicate wind direction and speed in which high CO2 events were observed in the measurement area. At altitudes of 4.0–4.5 km, almost no CO2 enhancements […] More

Study region The Southern Slope of the Tunari National Park (TNP, Fig. 1 and Supplementary Fig. S1) is a 141,000- ha area ranging from 2750 to 4400 m asl located in the Andes of Bolivia. The TNP was established in 1962 to prevent further degradation of its native vegetation, to conserve its endemic and threatened biodiversity, to protect […] 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
