β-blocker use and risk of all-cause mortality in patients with coronary heart disease: effect modification by serum vitamin A
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Aims Blockade of β-adrenoceptors reduces sympathetic nervous system activity and improves survival in patients with heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (HFrEF); however, any improvement in ... -
Optimal reproductive phenology under size-dependent cannibalism
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Intra-cohort cannibalism is an example of a size-mediated priority effect. If early life stages cannibalize slightly smaller individuals, then parents face a trade-off between breeding at the best time for larval growth ... -
A Blueprint for an Inclusive, Global Deep-Sea Ocean Decade Field Program
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The ocean plays a crucial role in the functioning of the Earth System and in the provision of vital goods and services. The United Nations (UN) declared 2021–2030 as the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. ... -
Growth of collisional orogens from small and cold to large and hot ‐ inferences from geodynamic models
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)It is well documented that the interplay between crustal thickening and surface processes determines growth of continent-continent collision orogens from small and cold to large and hot. Additionally, studies have demonstrated ... -
Ultramafic rock carbonation: Constraints from listvenite core BT1B, Oman Drilling Project
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The occurrence of the quartz-carbonate alteration assemblage (listvenite) in ophiolites indicates that ultramafic rock represents an effective sink for dissolved CO2. However, the majority of earlier studies of ultramafic ... -
Geochemical transition zone powering microbial growth in subsurface sediments
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)No other environment hosts as many microbial cells as the marine sedimentary biosphere. While the majority of these cells are expected to be alive, they are speculated to be persisting in a state of maintenance without net ... -
Gonadal Degeneration and Hepatopancreas Alteration in Orange Mud Crab Scylla olivacea Infected With Sacculina beauforti (Crustacea; Rhizocephala; Sacculinidae)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Infestation of Sacculina beauforti on an aquaculture species, mud crab Scylla olivacea is alarming due to its high prevalence and the extreme morphological changes in hosts. To further understand its pathological effect ... -
The First Cut Is the Deepest: Trawl Effects on a Deep-Sea Sponge Ground Are Pronounced Four Years on
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Few studies have described the effects of physical disturbance and post-recovery of deep-sea benthic communities. Here, we explore the status of deep-sea sponge ground communities four years after being impacted by an ... -
From a crisis to an opportunity: Eight insights for doing science in the COVID‐19 era and beyond
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The COVID-19 crisis has forced researchers in Ecology to change the way we work almost overnight. Nonetheless, the pandemic has provided us with several novel components for a new way of conducting science. In this perspective ... -
Comparative Animal Mucomics: Inspiration for Functional Materials from Ubiquitous and Understudied Biopolymers
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The functions of secreted animal mucuses are remarkably diverse and include lubricants, wet adhesives, protective barriers, and mineralizing agents. Although present in all animals, many open questions related to the ... -
Earthquake statistics changed by typhoon-driven erosion
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Tectonics and climate-driven surface processes govern the evolution of Earth’s surface topography. Topographic change in turn influences lithospheric deformation, but the elementary scale at which this feedback can be ... -
Describing the status of reproductive ageing simply and precisely: A reproductive ageing score based on three questions and validated with hormone levels
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objective Most women live to experience menopause and will spend 4–8 years transitioning from fertile age to full menstrual stop. Biologically, reproductive ageing is a continuous process, but by convention, it is defined ... -
The Molecular Machinery of Gametogenesis in Geodia Demosponges (Porifera): Evolutionary Origins of a Conserved Toolkit across Animals
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)All animals are capable of undergoing gametogenesis. The ability of forming haploid cells from diploid cells through meiosis and recombination appeared early in eukaryotes, whereas further gamete differentiation is mostly ... -
Risk stratification in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Insights from genetic analysis and cardiopulmonary exercise testing
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The role of genetic testing over the clinical and functional variables, including data from the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), in the hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) risk stratification remains unclear. A retrospective ... -
Mapping benthic ecological diversity and interactions with bottom-contact fishing on the Flemish Cap (northwest Atlantic)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)The ecological diversity of benthic invertebrates from bottom trawl surveys was mapped for the Flemish Cap, a plateau of ~200 km radius in the northwest Atlantic. Species density (SpD), the exponential Shannon diversity ... -
Diagnostic drama. Use of ICDAS II and fluorescence-based intraoral camera in early occlusal caries detection: A clinical study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: Early diagnosis of occlusal caries is of paramount importance for a minimally invasive approach in dentistry. The aim of the present in vivo clinical prospective study was to compare the diagnostic outcomes of ... -
Spatial covariance of herbivorous and predatory guilds of forest canopy arthropods along a latitudinal gradient
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)In arthropod community ecology, species richness studies tend to be prioritised over those investigating patterns of abundance. Consequently, the biotic and abiotic drivers of arboreal arthropod abundance are still relatively ... -
Combined effects of a simulated marine heatwave and an algal toxin on a tropical marine aquaculture fish cobia (Rachycentron canadum)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Ongoing global warming is one of the major challenges for the development of aquaculture in the tropical regions where species are already cultured in the water temperature close to their upper physiological thresholds. ... -
Estimating the undetected infections in the Covid-19 outbreak by harnessing capture-recapture methods
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Objectives A major open question, affecting the decisions of policy makers, is the estimation of the true number of Covid-19 infections. Most of them are undetected, because of a large number of asymptomatic cases. We ... -
Glacial microbiota are hydrologically connected and temporally variable
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Glaciers are melting rapidly. The concurrent export of microbial assemblages alongside glacial meltwater is expected to impact the ecology of adjoining ecosystems. Currently, the source of exported assemblages is poorly ...
