A versatile on‐axis visualization system for the macromolecular crystallography beamline BM07 at the ESRF

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, EarlyView.
A compact on‐axis microscope installed on the endstation of the macromolecular crystallography beamline BM07 at the ESRF is described. The system combines dual‐magnification on‐axis sample visualization with on‐axis laser injection and fluorescence measurements in back‐scattering geometry.

Integrating large mammalian herbivores into Dynamic Global Vegetation Models: Status and next steps

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Zoogeochemistry, the study of how animals influence elemental cycling within ecosystems, bridges the fields of zoology, ecology and biogeochemistry. Yet, most terrestrial ecosystem models, especially Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs), remain largely plant‐centric

Nitrogen stimulation of soil carbon content differs between two types of mycorrhizal‐dominated ecosystems

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Increasing nitrogen (N) deposition has been suggested to favour arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) plants over ectomycorrhizal (ECM) plants, but how mycorrhizal association mediates N impacts on soil organic carbon (SOC) remains unclear.

Microplastics in the menu of Mediterranean zooplankton: Insights from the feeding response of the calanoid copepod Centropages typicus

Marine Ecology, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Microplastic input into the ocean represents an increasing threat to marine biota and may endanger the functioning of marine ecosystems, especially in semi‐enclosed basins, such as the Mediterranean Sea. The size spectrum of microplastics overlaps with that of nano‐microplankton (2–200 μm), thus potentially misleading suspension‐feeding ...

Mobile consumers influence the shoreward edge of intertidal seagrass ecosystems

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Ecological paradigms suggest that the environmentally stressful edge of a habitat is determined by physical factors. The work finds that, counter to these paradigms, an environmentally stressful edge can also be impacted by biotic interactions and are more complex than suggested.

Forces Behind South Australia's Unusual Structural Changes Since 1840

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The agricultural sector's share of GDP in growing economies typically declines but, for a century from the early 1850s, Australia's did not. That trend is most evident for the former colony and now State of South Australia (SA). Moreover, that share for SA has been almost flat since 1980 as well, along with the agricultural sector's share of ...

Milk and Bondage: Enslaved Wet Nurses in the Eighteenth‐Century Cape Colony

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the social history of enslaved wet nurses in the eighteenth‐century Cape Colony, arguing that the romanticised depiction of these women within settler households was not a softening of the system of slavery but an integral part of how it functioned.

The First World War at Sea: Death, Commemoration and Cultural Remembrance

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the ever‐increasing body of work devoted to war memorials, national days of remembrance and the commemoration of the First World War in Britain, academic focus remains firmly on the commemoration of the First World War on land. Yet, while the number of people who died at sea paled in comparison to their counterparts on the battlefield ...
