Abstract The Russian aggression in Ukraine, launched on 24 February 2022, marked the return of conventional war in the European continent. While Western leaders have framed the ongoing conflict through a common narrative when speaking internationally, which varies in its national nuances, much less is known about the images and lenses that the European

Abstract Glacier‐fed streams (GFSs) make ideal systems for studying climate‐related changes. Some of the best‐studied GFSs are found in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) of Antarctica, one of the Earth's coldest and driest deserts. Despite their harsh and isolated nature, MDV GFSs represent an oasis of life in a landscape visually devoid of it, with ...

Convergent evolution of cysteine-rich proteins in feathers and hair [PDF]
Background Feathers and hair consist of cornified epidermal keratinocytes in which proteins are crosslinked via disulfide bonds between cysteine residues of structural proteins to establish mechanical resilience.

Our study suggests pronounced spatiotemporal niche differentiation as a mechanism facilitating two mesocarnivores' coexistence, and enhances our understanding of the mechanisms underlying sympatric coexistence on the Tibetan Plateau. ABSTRACT Predation by carnivores is a fundamental driver of species evolution, shaping interspecific spatiotemporal ...

Nomadism in Large Falcons: Lessons from the Saker Falcon in Mongolia.
—Nesting density of Saker Falcons (Falco cherrug) in some regions of Mongolia were found to fluctuate dramatically over the years. Very few eyries were consistently occupied year after year. These observations suggest that many Sakers leave one territory, move long distances, and establish new territories.

ABSTRACT Purpose This work proposes a method for the simultaneous estimation of the exchange‐dependent relaxation rate Rex$$ {R}_{ex} $$ and the longitudinal relaxation time T1$$ {T}_1 $$ from a single acquisition. Methods A novel acquisition scheme was developed that combines CEST saturation with an inversion pulse and a Look‐Locker readout to capture

ABSTRACT In the 1980s, researchers discovered the remarkable ability of electrospray plumes to effectively ionize gas‐phase molecules via secondary ionization. Around 20 years later—coinciding with the ambient mass spectrometry revolution—secondary electrospray ionization (SESI) and extractive electrospray ionization (EESI) coupled to mass spectrometry
