Quantification of spatial variability for transverse elastic modulus of spruce wood

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Alireza Farajzadeh Moshtaghin, Steffen Franke

Different factors such as age, location of timber within the tree, structural imperfections, load history such as wind and snow etc. can affect the material properties of timber. Consequently, there is a high variability in the mechanical properties which ...

Biodiversity dynamics and the effect of urban environment on the distribution of genetic variation in the Geneva cross-border area

Stéphane Joost, Idris Guessous, Jens Ingensand, Estelle Rochat, Kevin Leempoel, Ivo Widmer, Alain Clémence

Population growth, urbanization and agriculture lead to degradation and loss of natural environment. This has an adverse effect on the diversity of habitats, species and genes and might cause decline in the quality of life of the resident population. In th ...

Neutral and Adaptive Drivers of Microgeographic Genetic Divergence within Continuous Populations: The Case of the Neotropical Tree Eperua falcata (Aubl.)

Matthieu Foll

Background In wild plant populations, genetic divergence within continuous stands is common, sometimes at very short geographical scales. While restrictions to gene flow combined with local inbreeding and genetic drift may cause neutral differentiation amo ...

Impact of the urbanization process on connectivity and genetic diversity - a spatially explicit simulation approach

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Ivo Widmer

Urbanization leads to fragmentation, degradation or loss of natural environments and reduces connectivity between remaining habitat patches. This affects dispersal and establishment of species and their genes and might have adverse effects on biodiversity ...

Small scale variability of snow density on Antarctic sea ice

Michael Lehning, Katherine Colby Leonard, Nander Wever

Snow on sea ice plays an important role in air-ice-sea interactions, as snow accumulation may for example increase the albedo. Snow is also able to smooth the ice surface, while at the same time it may generate roughness elements by interactions with the w ...

Intraspecific trait variability mediates the response of subalpine grassland communities to extreme drought events

Vincent Jung, Thomas Spiegelberger

Climate change is expected to increase the magnitude and the frequency of extreme climatic events such as droughts. Better understanding how plant communities will respond to these droughts is a major challenge. We expect the response to be a shift in func ...

Natural variation in genome architecture among 205 Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel lines

Bart Deplancke, Andreas Massouras, Sandy Lee, Yi Han, Yiming Zhu

The Drosophila melanogaster Genetic Reference Panel (DGRP) is a community resource of 205 sequenced inbred lines, derived to improve our understanding of the effects of naturally occurring genetic variation on molecular and organismal phenotypes. We used a ...

Identification and removal of low-complexity sites in allele-specific analysis of ChIP-seq data

Bart Deplancke, Sebastian Martin Waszak, Sunil Kumar Raghav, Nouria Hernandez, Alisa Yurovsky

Motivation: High-throughput sequencing technologies enable the genome-wide analysis of the impact of genetic variation on molecular phenotypes at unprecedented resolution. However, although powerful, these technologies can also introduce unexpected artifac ...
