The competition of two Rhodocyclaceae-affiliated bacterial populations was assessed during the formation and maturation of aerobic granular sludge in two different types of anaerobic-aerobic sequencing batch reactors. Zoogloea spp. (57%) were predominant i ...
The Biotin-Streptavidin complex is a widely studied system in biology and biophysics, because of its extremely strong non-covalent binding affinity. The latter is often exploited to link molecules to substrates or to one another. However, the details of th ...
A major issue in modern ecology is to understand how ecological complexity at broad scales is regulated by mechanisms operating at the organismic level. What specific underlying processes are essential for a macroecological pattern to emerge? Here, we anal ...
Neutral metacommunity models for spatial biodiversity patterns are implemented on river networks acting as ecological corridors at different resolution. Coarse-graining elevation fields (under the constraint of preserving the basin mean elevation) produce ...
A program is described, which allows the intensity contributions from naturally occurring heavy isotopes to be eliminated from the mass spectrometric ions of an artificially labelled compound. This allows the accurate measurement of the isotopomer distribu ...
Interpreting the functional diversity of vegetation is important in unravelling the relationship between environmental change, community composition and ecosystem processes. Functional diversity is the range and distribution of functional trait values i ...
The photoexcitation and photoionization dynamics of sodium atoms deposited on the surface of helium nanodroplets and aromatic molecules (aniline, phenol and toluene) embedded in the interior of droplets have been investigated by a variety of spectroscopic ...
It is generally agreed that the hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs) are the most abundant toxins produced by cyanobacteria in freshwater. In various freshwater lakes in East Africa MC-producing Microcystis has been reported to dominate the phytoplankton, howeve ...
Forests are globally important ecosystems host to outstanding biological diversity. Widespread efforts have addressed the impacts of climate change on biodiversity in these ecosystems. We show that a metacommunity model founded on basic ecological processe ...
We investigated species composition and relative abundance of Sphagnum fallax dominated peatlands in relation to measured environmental variables on the basis of 26 sites in the Wielkopolska region. Most of studied plots were characterised with soft waters ...
