Influence of basin geodynamics and petroleum fields We applied GIS-based geospatial and geostatistical analyses to evaluate the relationship between hydrocarbon seep distribution, basin geodynamics and petroleum fields (see Methods). Convergent basins include retroarc, forearc, arc-related wrench and foreland basins associated with fold-and-thrust belts and form in geodynamic settings characterised by continental shortening and tectonic loading20 […] More

Predictors of viral sharing We fitted a model designed to partition the contribution of species-level effects and pairwise similarity measures to mammalian viral sharing probability. We used a published database of 1920 mammal–virus associations (excluding humans) as a training dataset5. These data included 591 wild mammal species, equalling 174,345 pairwise host species combinations, with 6.4% […] More

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
