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...

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...

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...
