GHOST commissioning science results - II: a very metal-poor star witnessing the early galactic assembly
This study focuses on Pristine_180956.78-294759.8 (hereafter P180956, [Fe/H] = -1.95 +/- 0.02), a star selected from the Pristine Inner Galaxy Survey (PIGS), and followed-up with the recently commissioned Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) ...
Oxford2024The rule of four: anomalous distributions in the stoichiometries of inorganic compounds
Nicola Marzari, Marnik Bercx, Elena Gazzarrini, Carl Simon Adorf
Why are materials with specific characteristics more abundant than others? This is a fundamental question in materials science and one that is traditionally difficult to tackle, given the vastness of compositional and configurational space. We highlight he ...
Nature Portfolio2024Fish Diversity in Relation to Littoral Habitats in Three Basins of Lake Kivu (East Africa)
In total, 28 of the 29 fish species reported from the Lake Kivu basin occur in the littoral zone of the lake, but information about their structure, occurrence, and the habitats affecting their distribution is largely lacking. The lake's inshore area is po ...
MDPI2023The Reef Environment Centralized InFormation System (RECIFS) : An integrated geo‐environmental database for coral reef research and conservation
Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni
Motivation: Host to intricate networks of marine species, coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth. Over the past few decades, major degradations of coral reefs have been observed worldwide, which is largely attributed to the ...
2023How Vibrio cholerae adapts to the environment: from cell shape transitions to antagonistic behavior
The bacterium Vibrio cholerae is the causative agent of the diarrheal disease cholera, which affects millions of people every year. Apart from being a human pathogen, V. cholerae is also a common member of aquatic habitats. Whilst the mechanism that allow ...
EPFL2022Influence of Microplastics on Microbial Structure, Function, and Mechanical Properties of Stream Periphyton
Kristin Schirmer, Ahmed Tlili, Renata Behra
Periphyton is a freshwater biofilm composed of prokaryotic and eukaryotic communities that occupy rocks and sediments, forming the base of the food web and playing a key role in nutrient cycling. Given the large surface that periphyton comprises, it may al ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Catchment characteristics and seasonality control the composition of microbial assemblages exported from three outlet glaciers of the Greenland Ice Sheet
Tyler Joe Kohler, Martina Andrea Schön
Glacial meltwater drains into proglacial rivers where it interacts with the surrounding landscape, collecting microbial cells as it travels downstream. Characterizing the composition of the resulting microbial assemblages in transport can inform us about i ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2022Presence of algal symbionts affects denitrifying bacterial communities in the sea anemone Aiptasia coral model
Anders Meibom, Nils Rädecker, Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz
The coral-algal symbiosis is maintained by a constant and limited nitrogen availability in the holobiont. Denitrifiers, i.e., prokaryotes reducing nitrate/nitrite to dinitrogen, could contribute to maintaining the nitrogen limitation in the coral holobiont ...
202221 000 birds in 4.5 h: efficient large‐scale seabird detection with machine learning
Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger
We address the task of automatically detecting and counting seabirds in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery using deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Our study area, the coast of West Africa, harbours significant breeding colonies of terns and gul ...
2021Predicting spatial patterns of soil bacteria under current and future environmental conditions
Nicolas Jean Philippe Guex, Jan Roelof van der Meer, Marco Pagni, Aline Buri
Soil bacteria are largely missing from future biodiversity assessments hindering comprehensive forecasts of ecosystem changes. Soil bacterial communities are expected to be more strongly driven by pH and less by other edaphic and climatic factors. Thus, al ...
