Abstract Objectives To assess the feasibility and efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) in adolescents (16–21 years) with refractory irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Methods Randomized controlled pilot trial. Thirty‐two patients were included and randomized to receive two allogeneic or autologous FMTs.

Fire‐induced shifts in activity patterns of predators and prey in the Brazilian Pantanal
Using camera trap data, we observed that 5 of 6 prey species showed statistically significant changes in temporal activity patterns, while jaguars were the only predator species to adjust activity when comparing pre‐fire and post‐fire periods in an isolated rocky formation in the Pantanal region.

The Bazaar as a Model for Knowledge Work
ABSTRACT This paper presents fieldwork that extends existing metaphors of knowledge work as a process shaped by hierarchical or market forces. A qualitative, ethnographic study of six knowledge‐intensive businesses in two countries identifies striking parallels with the Middle Eastern bazaar in contrast to Western impersonal markets and hierarchies. We

Abstract Metabolism is a key property of lake ecosystem functioning, but logistical challenges make it difficult to estimate across remote regions. The steady‐state dissolved oxygen (DO) stable isotope method (18O method) estimates metabolism from discrete water samples and thus enables large‐scale surveys.

Refining techniques for high‐frequency monitoring of chlorophyll a fluorescence in estuarine systems
Abstract Concentrations of the photosynthetic pigment chlorophyll a are commonly used as a proxy for phytoplankton biomass in aquatic systems. Traditional methods for extracting chlorophyll a in discrete samples limit measurement frequency, while in situ sensor technology provides high frequency chlorophyll a fluorescence measurements at a more ...

Fruit colour has long fascinated scientists and is widely considered an evolutionary adaptation to attract both avian and mammalian frugivores. While fleshy fruits play a key role in plant–animal interactions by promoting seed dispersal, the functional significance of colour variation, particularly multicoloured displays during ripening, remains poorly

Fluid Communities: A Competitive, Scalable and Diverse Community Detection Algorithm
We introduce a community detection algorithm (Fluid Communities) based on the idea of fluids interacting in an environment, expanding and contracting as a result of that interaction.

Legacy effects of European colonialism on hotspots of biocultural diversity threat
Abstract Patterns of biological diversity have been shaped by cultural practices in the past, while in turn, cultures and languages have evolved in close interaction with local species and ecosystems. However, in the Anthropocene, human activities are putting increasingly diverse pressures on ecosystems and cultures, resulting in accelerating threat ...

Facilitated spin models: recent and new results
Facilitated or kinetically constrained spin models (KCSM) are a class of interacting particle systems reversible w.r.t. to a simple product measure. Each dynamical variable (spin) is re-sampled from its equilibrium distribution only if the surrounding ...

Comparison of In‐Gel and SP3 Based Sample Preparation Protocols for LC‐MS/MS Based Proteomics
ABSTRACT Sensitivity, robustness, and reproducibility of sample preparation are main determinants of data quality in bottom‐up mass spectrometry‐based proteomics. To this end, in‐gel protein clean‐up and digestion has been used for decades and is characterized by its robustness and compatibility with harsh lysis conditions.
