We tested the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within genes of the NF-κB pathway are associated with altered clinical outcome of septic shock patients. We genotyped 59 SNPs in the NF-κB pathway in a discovery cohort of septic…

The manifestation of major climatic events such as the timing of deglaciation and whether, or not, the Younger Dryas affected Andean systems has garnered considerable recent attention. Even the Holocene is rapidly emerging as a time of considerable…

We document the fire history and associated ecological changes of an old-growth forest stand in western Maryland, U.S.A. The study area is located on the side slopes of a ridge system (Savage Mountain). Twenty basal cross sections were obtained from…

Abstract The Puelo River is a watershed shared between Chile and Argentina with a mean annual streamflow of 644 m3 s1. It has a high ecologic and economic importance, including introduced farmed salmon, tourism, sports fishing and projected…

Meiofaunal biodiversity, with a special focus on nematodes, was investigated in 6 submarine canyons and 5 adjacent open slopes along bathymetric gradients (from ca. 200 to 5000 m depth) from 3 deep-sea regions (northeastern Atlantic, western and…

Life is mostly composed of the elements carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and phosphorus. Although these six elements make up nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids and thus the bulk of living matter, it is theoretically possible that some…

Concepts of spatial scale, such as extent, grain, resolution, range, footprint, support and cartographic ratio are not interchangeable. Because of the potential confusion among the definitions of these terms, we suggest that authors avoid the term…

The South African abalone cultivation industry has developed rapidly and is now the largest producer outside Asia.With a rapid decline in wild abalone fisheries, farming now dominates the abalone export market in South Africa. Kelp (Ecklonia maxima)…

Background: The earliest dinosaurs are from the early Late Triassic (Carnian) of South America. By the Carnian the main clades Saurischia and Ornithischia were already established, and the presence of the most primitive known sauropodomorph…

Baseline ecological studies of pristine mangroves are important for monitoring, management and conservationof mangrove ecosystems. Diversity, density, biomass and community structure of crab and molluscan macrofauna werestudied in a near-pristine…

AVHRR remote sensing data for sea surface temperature during the first successful satellite track of a basking shark, Cetorhinus maximus on 6 July 1982 is analysed using the new composite front map technique. The shark is shown to have been…

By using a simple example a minimax type optimality of the minimum AIC procedure for the selection of models is demonstrated.

Evolutionary biologists often wish to explore the impact of a particular historical event (e.g., the origin of a novel morphological trait, an episode of biogeographic dispersal, or the onset of an ecological association) on rates of diversification…
-
This study investigates a probabilistic approach for the inverse problem associated with blending time-dependent ecosystem models and observations. The goal is to combine prior information, in the form of ecological dynamics and substantive…
-
Variability in animal growth from one population to another is of keen interest to population ecologists wishing to understand the inherent within species variability and explore meaningful environmental covariates. Yet most studies investigating…

Knowledge of temporal change in ecological condition is important for the understanding and management of ecosystems. However, analyses of trends in biological condition have been rare, as there are usually too few data points at any single site to…

A Bayesian network consists of a graphical structure and a probabilistic description of the relationships among variables in a system. The graphical structure explicitly represents cause-and-effect assumptions that allow a complex causal chain…
