Environmental sampling and profiling during autumn overturn A temperate holomictic lake, Rotsee (47.072 N and 8.319 E) in Central Switzerland was sampled on 8 dates from Oct 4, 2016 to Jan 23, 2017 (see Fig. 1). Eutrophic lake Rotsee is situated at 419 m a.s.l., has a maximum depth of 16 m, is 2.5 km long and about 200 m wide28. […] More
PLS description Usefulness of PLS Projections to latent structures (PLS), a more correct term for Partial Least Squares27, is a powerful multivariate method that is able to integrate data from different scientific disciplines in a single analysis22,24. It has minimum demands in terms of sample size, residual distribution and measurement scales28, while at the same […] More
Estimation of spawning time In this study, we used two types of environmental water temperature parameters experienced by the eggs to estimate spawning time, namely the incubation temperature and the experienced temperature (Fig. 1). Arbitrary spawning time (AST) was assumed at any time before the new moon, and the time elapsed from fertilisation (ET, unit: hour) […] More
In the cohort described in this study we observed directional changes in both HMO concentrations in breast milk and in infant faces, and in the composition of infant faecal microbiota. HMO concentrations differed between individuals and depended on lactation time and infant age. Earlier studies showed that faecal microbiota structure is highly dynamic during infancy […] More

For each of the three experiments we used the RV Helmer Hanssen as our main research platform. During the experiments, the ship was drifting with the engine on but without any power on the propellers. Also, during all three experiments, the same level of noise, light field/intensity and activity were ensured in order to dismiss […] More
