    • Agricultural landscapes and the Loire River influence the genetic structure of the marbled newt in Western France 

      Costanzi, Jean-Marc; Pascal, Mege; Alexandre, Boissinot; Francis, Isselin-Nondedeu; Sandra, Guerin; Olivier, Lourdais; Audrey, Trochet; Quentin, Le Petitcorps; Agathe, Legrand; Francois, Varenne; Pierre, Grillet; Sophie, Morin-Pinaud; Damien, Picard (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 ...

    • Extra-territorial movements differ between territory holders and subordinates in a large, monogamous rodent 

      Mayer, Martin; Zedrosser, Andreas; Rosell, Frank (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 ...

    • Hunting promotes spatial reorganization and sexually selected infanticide 

      Leclerc, Martin; Frank, Shane C.; Zedrosser, Andreas; Swenson, Jon; Pelletier, Fanie (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 

      Ebert, Thomas; Painer, Johanna; Bergman, Peter; Qureshi, Abdul Rashid; Giroud, Sylvain; Stalder, Gabrielle; Kublickiene, Karolina; Göritz, Frank; Vetter, Sebastian G.; Bieber, Claudia; Fröbert, Ole; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Zedrosser, Andreas; Redtenbacher, Irene; Shiels, Paul; Johnson, Richard J.; Stenvinkel, Peter (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 ...

    • A nature-based solution to a landfill-leachate contamination of a confined aquifer 

      Abiriga, Daniel; Jenkins, Andrew; Vestgarden, Live Semb; Klempe, Harald (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 

      Chanon, Stéphanie; Chazarin, Blandine; Toubhans, Benoit; Durand, Christine; Chery, Isabelle; Robert, Maud; Vieille-Marchiset, Aurélie; Swenson, Jon; Zedrosser, Andreas; Evans, Alina; Brunberg, Sven; Arnemo, Jon Martin; Gauquelin-Koch, Guillemette; Storey, Kenneth B.; Simon, Chantal; Blanc, Stéphane; Bertile, Fabrice; Lefai, Etienne (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 ...

    • Repeated five-day administration of L-BMAA, microcystin-LR, or as mixture, in adult C57BL/6 mice - lack of adverse cognitive effects 

      Myhre, Oddvar; Eide, Dag Markus; Kleiven, Synne; Utkilen, Hans Christian; Hofer, Tim (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 

      Rosell, Frank; Cross, Hannah; Johnsen, Christin Beate; Sundell, Janne; Zedrosser, Andreas (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 ...
