Wiskunde en de Natuurwetenschappen staan samen sterk

Nieuwe Wiskrant, 2003
Wiskunde is een struikelblok voor natuurprofielleerlingen. Hoe kan het programma aangepast worden, zodat wiskunde samen met de natuurwetenschappen aantrekkelijke natuurprofielen kan vormen?

Human-Induced Downsizing of Animal Communities Weakens Trait Matching Between Tropical Plants and Frugivores. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
We assess the impact of human‐induced ‘downsizing’ of animal communities on plant–frugivore trait matching—the alignment between fruit size and frugivore body mass—using a global dataset on plant and animal traits and 102 ecological networks across the tropics.

Finding novel vulnerabilities of hypomorphic BRCA1 alleles. [PDF]

Mol Oncol
Synthetic lethality screens performed to identify novel vulnerabilities often model complete gene loss, thereby overlooking patient‐derived hypomorphic mutations. In this study, we have performed genome‐wide CRISPR screens on BRCA1 hypomorphic mutations, showing BRCA1I26A behaves like wild‐type, while BRCA1R1699Q mimics deficiency. Furthermore, we have

Clashing in Murky Waters: On Amphibian Mosquito Suppression. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study compares the predator efficiency of common European amphibian species to common invertebrate mosquito predators. Focusing on the cosmopolitan mosquito Culex pipiens, known for transmitting pathogens like West Nile virus, we assessed predator rates, sex‐specific efficiency in amphibians, and the impact of predator presence on mosquito ...

The phylogenetic structure of plant communities drives the belowground transmission of fungal pathogens. [PDF]

New Phytol
Summary Biodiversity is known to influence disease risk, yet the pathways of pathogen transmission within plant communities remain poorly understood, especially belowground. In particular, how soil‐borne pathogens move from resident vegetation and soil to colonize new hosts is unresolved.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes-A practical overview for biologists. [PDF]

FEBS Lett
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Het Bijbelse scheppingsverhaal en de natuurwetenschap

Koers : Bulletin for Christian Scholarship, 1958
Het is dit jaar precies een eeuw geleden, dat gezamenlijk door Charles Darwin en A. R. Wallace het begrip evolutie vaste voet kreeg in de moderne natuurwetenschappen.

How chronic anthropogenic noise can affect wildlife communities

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Anthropogenic noise is a major pollutant in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Since the industrial revolution, human activities have become increasingly noisy, leading to both acute and chronic disturbance of a wide variety of animals.

Cortical responses to balance perturbations persist without active postural control. [PDF]

J Physiol
Abstract figure legend A robotic balance simulator was used to test whether cortical responses to balance perturbations are contingent on active balance control or instead reflect the detection of unexpected motion. Participants experienced identical support‐surface rotations (toes‐up and toes‐down) while actively controlling balance or while being ...

A new Oligocene site with terrestrial mammals and a selachian fauna from Minqar Tibaghbagh, the Western Desert of Egypt [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2017
A new fossil site at Minqar Tibaghbagh, east of Siwa, in the Egyptian Western Desert is described. This represents the first place in Egypt outside the Fayum Depression yielding Paleogene, terrestrial mammals.
