  Freshwater ecosystems are highly biodiverse1 and important for livelihoods and economic development2, but are under substantial stress3. To date, comprehensive global assessments of extinction risk have not included any ...

• Macroecological patterns of rodent population dynamics shaped by bioclimatic gradients 

  Soininen, Eeva M; Magnusson, Magnus; Jepsen, Jane Uhd; Eide, Nina Elisabeth; Yoccoz, Nigel Gilles; Angerbjörn, Anders; Breisjøberget, Jo Inge; Ecke, Frauke; Ehrich, Dorothee; Framstad, Erik; Henttonen, Heikki; Hörnfeldt, Birger; Killengreen, Siw Turid; Olofsson, Johan; Oksanen, Lauri; Oksanen, Tarja Maarit; Tveito, Ole Einar Ellingbø; Ims, Rolf A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)

  Long-term studies of cyclic rodent populations have contributed fundamentally to the development of population ecology. Pioneering rodent studies have shown macroecological patterns of population dynamics in relation to ...

• Unveiling cryptic macroinvertebrate sentinels to enhance biomonitoring in tropical rivers: Bridging traditional approaches with DNA barcoding in the Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot 

  Eriksen, Tor Erik; Brittain, John Edward; Sandin, Leonard; Friberg, Nikolai (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2025)

  Human activities present significant threats to tropical freshwater ecosystems, notably in many global biodi versity hotspots, threats that are further increased by inadequate taxonomic knowledge and the lack of appropriate ...

• Reduced ATP turnover during hibernation in relaxed skeletal muscle 

  De Napoli, Cosimo; Schmidt, Luisa; Montesel, Mauro; Cussonneau, Laura; Sanniti, Samuele; Marcucci, Lorenzo; Germinario, Elena; Kindberg, Jonas; Evans, Alina; Gauquelin-Koch, Guillemette; Narici, Marco; Bertile, Fabrice; Lefai, Etienne; Krüger, Marcus; Nogara, Leonardo; Blaauw, Bert (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2025)

  Hibernating brown bears, due to a drastic reduction in metabolic rate, show only moderate muscle wasting. Here, we evaluate if ATPase activity of resting skeletal muscle myosin can contribute to this energy sparing. By ...
