Concerted conformational dynamics and water movements in the ghrelin G protein-coupled receptor [PDF]
eLife, 2021 There is increasing support for water molecules playing a role in signal propagation through G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). However, exploration of the hydration features of GPCRs is still in its infancy.

Seasonal dynamics of terrestrial vertebrate abundance between Amazonian flooded and unflooded forests [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The flood pulse is the main factor structuring and differentiating the ecological communities of Amazonian unflooded (terra firme) and seasonally-flooded (várzea) forests as they require unique adaptations to survive the prolonged annual floods ...

Simulated or measured soil moisture: which one is adding more value to regional landslide early warning? [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2021 The inclusion of soil wetness information in empirical landslide prediction models was shown to improve the forecast goodness of regional landslide early warning systems (LEWSs). However, it is still unclear which source of information – numerical models

COMBINED USE OF REMOTE SENSING AND SPATIAL MODELLING: WHEN SURFACE WATER IMPACTS BUFFALO (SYNCERUS CAFFER CAFFER) MOVEMENTS IN SAVANNA ENVIRONMENTS [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2021 In semi-arid savannas, the availability of surface water constrains movements and space-use of wild animals. To accurately model their movements in relation to water selection at a landscape scale, innovative methods have to be developed to i) better ...

Watching plants’ dance: movements of live and dead branches linked to atmospheric water demand
Ecosphere, 2021 Diurnal branch movements in woody plants have only recently been described in detail. While previously only vegetative and reproductive structures have been known to move on hourly timescales, imaging technologies such as terrestrial laser scanning and ...

A Novel Method for Simulating Micro-Scale Water Droplet Movements
Separations, 2022 Micro-scale fluids are tiny droplets that adhere to the surface of an object as a result of rainfall, perspiration, etc. Micro-scale fluid simulation is widely used in fields such as film and games.

Changes in surface water drive the movements of Shoebills
Scientific Reports, 2021 Animal movement is mainly determined by spatial and temporal changes in resource availability. For wetland specialists, the seasonal availability of surface water may be a major determinant of their movement patterns.

Water commons as a socioenvironmental project for the 21st century in Chile
Water Policy, 2023 We describe how the water commons agenda has been mobilized by different social groups of Chilean society, including water social movements and indigenous people, and the way it was included in the constitutional debate (2021–2022).
