• Mechanisms determining the multi-diversity of carrion visiting species along a gradient of carrion body mass 

  Wierer, Amelie; von Hoermann, Christian; Benbow, M. Eric; Büchner, Christiane; Feldhaar, Heike; Fiderer, Christian; Mitesser, Oliver; Rietz, Janine; Schlüter, Jens; Zeitzler, Johannes; Lackner, Tomáš; Bässler, Claus; Heurich, Marco Dietmar; Müller, Jörg (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Resource availability and habitat heterogeneity are essential drivers of biodiversity, but their individual roles often remain unclear since both factors are often correlated. Here, we tested the more-individuals hypothesis ...

• Genetic admixture between Central European and Alpine wolf populations 

  Hulva, Pavel; Collet, Sebastian; Baránková, Lucie; Valentová, Kamila; Šrutová, Jana; Bauer, Harald; Gahbauer, Martin; Mokrý, Jan; Romportl, Dušan; Smith, Adam Francis; Vorel, Aleš; Zýka, Vladimír; Nowak, Carsten; Černá Bolfíková, Barbora; Heurich, Marco Dietmar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  The recovery and expansion of formerly isolated wolf populations in Europe raise questions about the nature of their interactions and future consequences for population viability and conservation. Will fragmented populations ...

• Hunting for volunteers: toward understanding embedded motivations for citizen science contributions among Norwegian hunters in the case of wild boar 

  Von Essen, Erica; Wathne Gelink, Henriette; Figari, Helene; Krange, Olve (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Governments increasingly appeal to citizens contribute to common goals in natural resource management, nature conservation or invasive species eradication. The contributing citizen is sometimes understood as able to graduate ...

• Culture and amplification-free nanopore sequencing for rapid detection of pathogens and antimicrobial resistance genes from urine 

  Bellankimath, Anurag Basavaraj; Chapagain, Crystal; Branders, Sverre; Ali, Jawad; Wilson, Robert Charles; Johansen, Truls E. Bjerklund; Ahmad, Rafi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Purpose Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are among the most prevalent infections globally. Every year, approximately 150 million people are diagnosed with UTIs worldwide. The current state-of-the-art diagnostic methods are ...

• Epigenetic-related transcriptional reprogramming elucidated by identification and validation of a novel reference gene combination for RT-qPCR studies in porcine oocytes of contrasting quality 

  Haug, Linda Marijke Dekker; Wilson, Robert Charles; Alm-Kristiansen, Anne Hege (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Background Reliable RT-qPCR results are dependent on appropriate normalisation. Oocyte maturation studies can be challenging in this respect, as the stage of development can distinctively affect reference gene transcript ...
