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.

Buoyancy aptitude of the European wels catfish in relation to vertical migration and hunting behaviour [PDF]
Movement EcologyBackground The European wels catfish (Silurus glanis) is a large, physostomous apex predator of freshwater habitats. Its current range expansion both within and beyond its native distribution, is strongly influenced by global warming.

Realising the Human Right to Water in Costa Rica through Social Movements
Utrecht Law Review, 2020 This article examines human rights from the perspective of social constructions and as the result of historical processes. This means that human rights, as we know them today, are the result of dynamic and historical struggles.

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 ...

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.
