Intraspecific variability at the chromosomal ends The first step of our investigation was the detection and delimitation of the TIRs. De novo assemblies performed following next generation sequencing approaches (NGS) do not allow identifying such large intragenomic duplications (i.e., duplications larger than the read size). However, the size of TIRs can be deduced from the […] More
Synopsis Consistent with a protective role, under static oxic conditions we found that FeII oxidation in the presence of added 13C-DOM resulted in SRO Fe–C associations that not only inhibited the mineralization of 13C-DOM by 35% relative to controls, but also suppressed the priming of native SOM mineralization by 47%, which consequently decreased overall CO2 […] More
The coupling results of ANLI and ACRHP Hefei is taken as an example and five regression models between ANLI and ACRHP are established so that the optimal regression model can be obtained by comparing the R2. Table 4 shows five regression models between ANLI and ACRHP for Hefei. Table 4 All the regression models of ANLI […] More
Ethical statement The Ethical Committee of the Zoological Institute (RAS #2015-01-14) and Kaliningrad Regional Agency for Protection, Reproduction and Use of Animal World and Forests approved sampling procedures and experimental manipulations, and permitted the catching and tagging of cuckoos. This study was carried out in accordance with Guidelines to the use of wild birds in […] More
The 10-year average annual cycles of D and B calls through time indicates that whales arrive at the SCR feeding grounds in May and depart in November, remaining at the feeding grounds an average of 8.4 months (Fig. 1, Supplementary Table 1, Supplementary Fig. 3). The timings of D call onset and cessation displayed greater variability than B […] More
Field sampling Plankton sampling was performed at the GEOMAR deck (54° 19´48´´N, 10°9´1´´E, see map in Fig. 1) between 10.00 and 11.00 h from Mondays to Saturdays in the period of August 12 to October 21, 2008. Samples of M. leidyi were taken with a WP2 net (0.8 m net opening, 500 µm mesh size), with three vertical hauls […] More

Electrolysis ecological floating bed design and eutrophic water In this research, the EEFBs and the traditional EFBs both had the same surface area of 1,089 m2 and were designed to compare their removal efficiencies in eutrophic waters under similar conditions. The EEFBs were made of polystyrene board 33 cm wide × 33 cm long × 5.5 cm thick. […] More
