Waders in a sea of debris: a global overview
ABSTRACT The impact of plastic pollution on ecosystems and marine fauna is well documented, although research into its effects on waders (also known as shorebirds) remains limited. Given that waders are exposed to coastal marine litter, this exposure could be a significant factor in the decline of their populations. This study aims to assess the global

The Magnetic Signature of Shear Zones in Marbles and Experimental Simulations
This dataset explores how strain, microstructure, texture and magnetic susceptibility interact in natural and experimental shear zones. It includes data from low‐ and high‐temperature marble shear zones and analogue experiments simulating different deformation regimes.

On the Hardness of Switching to a Small Number of Edges
ABSTRACT Seidel's switching is a graph operation which makes a given vertex adjacent to precisely those vertices to which it was non‐adjacent before, while keeping the rest of the graph unchanged. Two graphs are called switching‐equivalent if one can be made isomorphic to the other one by a sequence of switches. Jelínková et al. [DMTCS 13, no. 2, 2011]

PurposeAccurate arterial input functions (AIFs) are essential for quantitative dynamic contrast‐enhanced (DCE) MRI, yet direct measurement is challenging and population‐averaged AIFs neglect patient‐specific variability. Blind deconvolution provides an alternative by estimating patient‐specific AIFs directly from tissue data, up to a scale factor. This

Dualsteric and dual‐acting modulation of muscarinic receptors by antagonist KH‐5
Abstract Background and purpose Muscarinic acetylcholine receptors are key therapeutic targets, and ligands engaging both orthosteric and allosteric sites may offer improved selectivity and efficacy. Here, we investigated whether the muscarinic antagonist KH‐5 acts as a dualsteric antagonist and defined its mode of interaction with muscarinic receptors.

Anthropogenic linear features facilitate high‐elevation colonization. Parasitoid pressure declines markedly with elevation. Cocoon damage increases despite reduced parasitism at high elevation. Abstract The upper elevational range limits of thermophilic arthropods reflect constraints on population persistence rather than simple presence.

Congruence and Compatibility in Functional Regional Taxonomy: Principles and Applications
ABSTRACT The article connects several concepts that were previously used and evaluated separately in functional regional taxonomy and in the delineation of functional regions. Typically, functional regions are not defined based on absolute values of population flows.

Divergent trajectories of genome architecture and chromosome evolution in ferns and angiosperms
Variation in key fern genomic traits across families, mapped onto a summary phylogenetic tree. Summary Ferns and angiosperms represent the two largest vascular plant lineages but exhibit striking genomic and ecological contrasts. We investigated whether differences in genome size, chromosome architecture, GC content, and stomatal traits reveal ...

A trait‐based integration of competition and abiotic tolerance underlies plant success
Competitive effect and abiotic tolerance show positive associations with species' niche breadth and local dominance. Summary Understanding what determines species' ecological success is a central challenge in ecology. Competitive ability and abiotic tolerance are expected to be strong predictors of species success, yet theory predicts a trade‐off ...

ABSTRACT Rationale Dielectric barrier discharge ionisation (DBDI) in an active‐capillary configuration (including the commercial SICRIT source) is widely used as a soft, ambient‐pressure ionisation method for vapours and gases, yet the role of water vapour in controlling reagent ion chemistry and analytical behaviour has not been mechanistically ...
