This is an opportunity to work with pollinators in an urban setting and be part of a European project where we will investigate the …

What do traits tell us about species responses to environmental change and the resulting impacts for ecosystem function and services? Which forest management practises …

Green Infrastructure (GI) is widely adopted by policymakers and practitioners as a form of Nature-based solution (NbS) to help restore nature and boost biodiversity, …

More than 80% of all animal life are insects and most of this diversity stems from a single monophyletic innovation ca. 320 million years …

It is becoming abundantly clear that wild and domesticated bees are surprisingly sensitive to global warming, heatwaves, and droughts – all hallmarks of climate …

Unlike mammals, birds have nucleated red blood cells that retain almost all functional organelles in the mature state. Amongst these are the mitochondria – …

Mammals have a form of internal heat production localised to their mitochondria, which they ramp up in the cold. This heat production is localised …

Songbirds rely on an endogenous program to follow species-specific routes and schedule their migrations to the annual cycle. The expression of the migration program …

Migratory birds use daylength, or photoperiod, to align their migration schedules to the annual cycle, and global climate change is shifting temperature gradients towards …

The tawny owl (Swedish: kattuggla; Strix aluco) is one of our most common top predators occurring in a range of landscapes including urban, agricultural …

Increasing evidence suggests that the community of microbes located within the gastrointestinal tract of vertebrates, known as the “gut microbiome”, is a crucial determinant …

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), one of the most common forms of dementia, constitutes a high social and economic burden expected to increase in the upcoming …

It is well-established that innate immunity plays a significant role in responding to and influencing the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) (Heneka et al., …

In cellular environment protein abundance and half-life are determined by ubiquitin-proteasomal system. Ubiquitin ligases recognize a highly specific peptide motif (degron) and transfer polyubiquitin …

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted sex differences during infection, with increased hospitalizations and deaths in SARS-CoV-2-infected men as compared to women. This observation is …

Modern genomics methods produce vast amounts of genetic data, but we have limited ability to interpret the effects of sequence variation on gene expression, …

Terrestrial isopods are important detritivores, contributing to essential ecosystem services by breaking down plant material and recycling nutrients. Due to their ancestry (they are …

While recent research has improved treatment of primary tumours, few discoveries have specifically benefited patients with metastatic disease such as brain metastases. The microenvironment …
