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

Limited data availability is a challenge that hinders all data visualization tools — the Dashboard included. The DataDENT Initiative showed that in many data visualization tools there are no data for the indicators of interest, data are out of date, trend data are not available, data are only available for a small number of countries, […] More
Microbial community classes are determined by local conditions We analysed 753 bacterial communities sampled from water-filled beech tree-holes in the southwest of the UK32 (see Supplementary Table 1 and Supplementary Fig. 1). Communities were grown in a medium made of beech leaves as substrate for 7 days and then their composition interrogated through 16S rRNA sequencing (see […] More
Field work In all, >1500 environmental samples were collected from terrestrial mosses, soils (top layer, ±upper 2 cm), and littoral sediments from lakes and ponds, originating from various locations worldwide. All samples were stored dark, and if possible, cool (<10 °C) during transport. From these, P. borealis cultures were established and used for morphological and molecular analyses. […] More
