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
We have here developed a comprehensive behavioural survey and applied a citizen science approach to collect a large canine behavioural dataset of over 260 breeds of dogs. Our data replicates results from some earlier studies and the study also shows a number of novel insights, including prevalences, comorbidities and breed differences of traits not described […] More
Plasmids and strains Our iSLC and SLC strains were both cultured in lysogeny broth (LB) media with 50 μg ml−1 kanamycin, 34 μg ml−1 chloramphenicol and 0.2% glucose for strains containing ColE1 origin and p15A origin plasmids in a 37 ∘C shaking incubator. Plasmid pTD103 RpaR-RpaI-LAA-sfGFP21, ptD103-CFP19, and pZA35-X174E(+LuxR)5 were constructed by our group in previous studies (Supplementary Fig. 7). Both […] More
Being able to compare travel modes to each other (realistically) at different hours of the day requires following a so-called door-to-door approach (Fig. 1). This means that travel time and distance are calculated comparably between travel modes by considering every step of a journey when calculating a route between origins and destinations. These steps include walking […] More

This paper is a product of the African Tropical Rainforest Observatory Network (AfriTRON), curated at ForestPlots.net. AfriTRON has been supported by numerous people and grants since its inception. We sincerely thank the people of the many villages and local communities who welcomed our field teams and without whose support this work would not have been […] More
NEWS AND VIEWS 04 March 2020 A survey of tree establishment, growth and mortality shows that the rate at which Amazonian tropical forests take up carbon dioxide has slowed since the 1990s, whereas signs of a potential slowdown in Africa appeared only in 2010. Anja Rammig Anja Rammig is at the Technical University of Munich, […] More
