Open AccessStand-level sampling designs for bark strip** caused by red deer (Cervus elaphus L.): simulation studies based on nine fully censused stands
Precise assessment of bark strip** damage is of high economic importance, since bark strip** makes wood unusable for saw timber and it is important for compensation payments for game damage. Bark strip**...

Open AccessAn insight into the functional genomics and species classification of Eudiplozoon nipponicum (Monogenea, Diplozoidae), a haematophagous parasite of the common carp Cyprinus carpio
Monogenea (Platyhelminthes, Neodermata) are the most species-rich class within the Neodermata superclass of primarily fish parasites. Despite their economic and ecological importance, monogenean research tends...

Bark strip** damage by red deer (Cervus elaphus L.): assessing the spatial distribution on the stand level using generalised additive models
Bark strip** is a key topic in forestry because of economic losses due to associated fungal infections of wood, finally resulting in growth decrease and the loss of ecosystem services. Numerous studies ident...

Open AccessPosition, size, and spatial patterns of bark strip** wounds inflicted by red deer (Cervus elavus L.) on Norway spruce using generalized additive models in Austria
Bark strip** wounds by red deer (Cervus elavus L.) were assessed on 9026 Norway spruce trees. Wound variables (length, width, area, relative width, height above ground, and angle) were analysed using generalize...

Open AccessGlobal systematic diversity, range distributions, conservation and taxonomic assessments of graylings (Teleostei: Salmonidae; Thymallus spp.)
Graylings (Thymallus) are among the less well-studied groups of salmonid fishes, especially across their Asian distribution range. Here we perform a comprehensive global review of their phylogeography, systematic...

Open AccessEcological genomics of adaptation to unpredictability in experimental rotifer populations
Elucidating the genetic basis of phenotypic variation in response to different environments is key to understanding how populations evolve. Facultatively sexual rotifers can develop adaptive responses to fluct...

Laser Raman Spectroscopic Investigation on the Conversion of Molten Urea into NH3 for the Selective Catalytic Reduction of NOx in Oxygen-Rich Exhaust Gases
The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) is widely used for the NOx removal from the oxygen-rich exhaust gases of diesel passenger cars and trucks. SCR implies the reduction of NOx by NH3 originated from AdBlue, w...

Open AccessGenomic signatures of local adaptation to the degree of environmental predictability in rotifers
Environmental fluctuations are ubiquitous and thus essential for the study of adaptation. Despite this, genome evolution in response to environmental fluctuations —and more specifically to the degree of enviro...

Diversity of wood-decaying fungi under different disturbance regimes—a case study from spruce mountain forests
Rapid destruction of forest habitats has led to the establishment of protected areas in formerly managed forests with the aim of restoring biodiversity. Conservation in spruce-dominated reserves is often contr...

Variation of territory size and defense behavior in breeding pairs of the endemic Lake Tanganyika cichlid fish Variabilichromis moorii
Lake Tanganyika harbors the ecologically, morphologically, and behaviorally most diverse species flock of cichlid fishes. It is comprised by substrate breeding and mouthbrooding species, most of which live in ...

Ramaria chocoënsis sp. nov., a gomphoid member of Ramaria sect. Dendrocladium from Colombia, El Chocó, with special regards to rhizomorph anatomy
The new species Ramaria chocoënsis (Gomphales, Basidiomycota) from Colombian Pacific rainforest is described. Despite the gomphoid habit, the new species is inserted in Ramaria sect. Dendrocladium due to rhizomor...
