3D Maps of Mineral Composition and Hydroxyapatite Orientation in Fossil Bone Samples Obtained by X-ray Diffraction Computed Tomography
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Whether hydroxyapatite (HA) orientation in fossilised bone samples can be non-destructively retrieved and used to determine the arrangement of the bone matrix and the location of muscle attachments (entheses), is a question ... -
Agricultural landscapes and the Loire River influence the genetic structure of the marbled newt in Western France
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Amphibians are particularly sensitive to landscape fragmentation. Potential barriers between breeding sites can negatively infuence the dispersal of individuals and increase genetic structure between populations. In this ... -
Anaerobic digestion of pig manure supernatant at high ammonia concentrations characterized by high abundances of Methanosaeta and non-euryarchaeotal archaea
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)We examined the effect of ammonium and temperature on methane production in high rate upflow anaerobic sludge bed reactors treating pig manure supernatant. We operated four reactors at two ammonium concentrations (‘low’ ... -
Extra-territorial movements differ between territory holders and subordinates in a large, monogamous rodent
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Territorial animals carry out extra-territorial movements (forays) to obtain pre-dispersal information or to increase reproductive success via extra-pair copulation. However, little is known about other purposes and spatial ... -
Hierarchical Porous Chitosan Sponges as Robust and Recyclable Adsorbents for Anionic Dye Adsorption
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Biomass waste treatment and detrimental dye adsorption are two of the crucial environmental issues nowadays. In this study, we investigate to simultaneously resolve the aforementioned issues by synthesizing chitosan sponges ... -
Hunting promotes spatial reorganization and sexually selected infanticide
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Harvest can affect the ecology and evolution of wild species. The removal of key individuals, such as matriarchs or dominant males, can disrupt social structure and exacerbate the impact of hunting on population growth. ... -
Insights in the regulation of trimetylamine N-oxide production using a comparative biomimetic approach suggest a metabolic switch in hibernating bears
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Experimental studies suggest involvement of trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) in the aetiology of cardiometabolic diseases and chronic kidney disease (CKD), in part via metabolism of ingested food. Using a comparative biomimetic ... -
Mapping anaerobic sludge bed community adaptations to manure supernatant in biogas reactors
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactors, biomass present as granules allows for long solids retention time. Here, granules from a process treating pulp and paper industrial wastewater were successfully applied as ... -
A nature-based solution to a landfill-leachate contamination of a confined aquifer
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Remediation of groundwater from landfill contamination presents a serious challenge due to the complex mixture of contaminants discharged from landfills. Here, we show the significance of a nature-based solution to a ... -
Proteolysis inhibition by hibernating bear serum leads to increased protein content in human muscle cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Muscle atrophy is one of the main characteristics of human ageing and physical inactivity, with resulting adverse health outcomes. To date, there are still no efficient therapeutic strategies for its prevention and/or ... -
Quantifying the hydroxyapatite orientation near the ossification front in a piglet femoral condyle using X-ray diffraction tensor tomography
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)While a detailed knowledge of the hierarchical structure and morphology of the extracellular matrix is considered crucial for understanding the physiological and mechanical properties of bone and cartilage, the orientation ... -
Repeated five-day administration of L-BMAA, microcystin-LR, or as mixture, in adult C57BL/6 mice - lack of adverse cognitive effects
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The cyanobacterial toxins β-methylamino-L-alanine (L-BMAA) and microcystin-LR (MC-LR; a potent liver toxin) are suspected to cause neurological disorders. Adult male C57BL/6JOlaHsd mice aged approximately 11 months were ... -
Scent-sniffing dogs can discriminate between native Eurasian and invasive North American beavers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The invasion of a species can cause population reduction or extinction of a similar native species due to replacement competition. There is a potential risk that the native Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) may eventually be ...
