Total heterotrophic rhizosphere bacterial count The total counts for the heterotrophic rhizospheric bacteria (THRB) were enumerated at 0, 30, 60 and 90 days of treatments at various concentrations of POS. The result shows that for 1% POS, the THRB counts for contaminated rhizosphere or CR increased significantly (p < 0.05) but slightly from 125 × 107 to 148 × 107 CFU/g, […] More

RNA sequencing Foragers were collected from nine P. barbatus colonies near the site of a long-term study of this species in Rodeo, New Mexico52. The same colonies were used in previous behavioral observations and pharmacological experiments28. In previous work, we measured for each colony (1) the sensitivity of foraging activity to humidity as the reduction […] 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

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

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
