Passive acoustic monitoring for the estimation of density of the singing lemur (Indri indri)

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) was applied to estimate the density of indri (Indri indri) in the Maromizaha tropical forest by adapting a density‐estimation framework originally developed for marine environments. Using a network of autonomous recorders and GLMMs incorporating directional and environmental covariates, we estimated detection ...

Directional information flow in human frataxin defines allosteric pathways connecting the hydrophobic core to the iron‐binding ridge

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Human frataxin deficiency causes Friedreich's ataxia, yet how iron‐binding events are communicated across the protein is unclear. Using transfer entropy analysis of molecular dynamics simulations, we identify buried hydrophobic core leucines (LEU136, LEU140) as the source of directional signaling toward the iron‐binding acidic ridge.

Anthropogenic and natural factors are associated with bird dawn chorus onset in subtropical East Asia

Ibis, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic factors such as artificial lighting at night (ALAN) and natural factors including temperature and moonlight can affect the dawn chorus pattern in birds. However, most studies are conducted in temperate regions. We investigated the effect of anthropogenic and natural factors on dawn chorus timing in eight species of bird across Hong Kong ...

Rosmarinus officinalis essential oil components promote anaesthesia in Colossoma macropomum (Cuvier, 1818) through behavioural and cardiorespiratory modulation

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anaesthetic management plays a crucial role in maintaining the welfare and physiological stability of fish during routine aquaculture and research procedures. The essential oil of Rosmarinus officinalis (ROEO) has emerged as a promising natural anaesthetic; however, its cardiophysiological effects in Amazonian species remain underexplored ...

A novel method based on high‐resolution imaging spectroscopy to predict fine‐root traits and the economics space of fresh tree roots

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Maps of the estimated root nitrogen concentration in the < 0.5‐mm‐diameter classes of 20 woody species based on the imaging spectroscopy using the shortwave infrared spectral region. Summary Tree fine‐root morphological, anatomical, and chemical traits are important to reflect belowground resource acquisition strategies to support tree growth, but ...

JWST Project - Instrument Performance Simulator of the NIRSpec Spectrograph

, 2008
The future James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), developed jointly by the American, European and Canadian space agencies (NASA, ESA and CSA), is scheduled for launch in 2013. The near-infrared spectrograph NIRSpec will be a major element of its instrument suite and is built by EADS Astrium for ESA.

Harnessing genetic variation for grain quality from diverse wheat landraces

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Grain protein content is usually measured on bulk samples, hiding variation between individual grains. We used hyperspectral imaging to predict protein in c. 15 000 single grains from over 500 Watkins wheat landraces grown in two environments, resolving both mean protein content and grain‐to‐grain uniformity.

Enhancing Predictive Ability of Agronomic and Quality Traits in Ethiopian Malting Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Using Spectral Variable Selection Methods

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phenomic selection (PS) offers a cost‐effective, breeder‐friendly approach for public breeding programmes with limited access to genotyping or restricted financial resources for laboratory infrastructure. Since PS relies on high‐throughput phenotyping data, which is often derived from near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of harvested seeds ...

Understanding extracellular vesicle biology, isolation, and characterization: The theory of EV‐erything

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs), especially exosomes, are nanoparticles increasingly recognized as key regulators of intercellular communication in both physiological and pathological aspects. Despite rapid progress, inconsistencies in nomenclature, isolation, and characterization continue to restrict translational advancement.

Simultaneous acquisition of maternal and dual‐fetal electrocardiography with maternal haemodynamic monitoring in anaesthetized pregnant rats

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Experimental approaches that acquire maternal haemodynamics together with direct cardiac signals from more than one fetus remain limited. We developed a standardized in vivo method for simultaneous acquisition of maternal ECG, maternal arterial blood pressure and ECGs from two fetuses in anaesthetized late‐gestation Sprague–Dawley rats.
