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

Temporal variation of the N balance Based on a coupled human-natural urban N flow analysis, we found that Nr flows in a typical megalopolis have been artificially intensified to sustain the increasing demands for production and consumption with continuous Nr loss in the environment (Fig. 1). The detailed N fluxes among 12 subsystems can be found […] 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
