Tropical rainforests are at the same time some of the most species-rich and the least known terrestrial ecosystems. They are also under immense human pressure. Lack of information about species taxonomy, their distributions, ...

Anthropogenic climate change is increasing the magnitude and frequency of marine heatwaves, challenging the physiological limits of ectothermic animals, such as fish, and negatively affecting human activities that depend ...

Climate change affects temperature and landscapes, especially in northern latitudes where heavy winters are becoming less common. Changes in the environment can strongly affect animals locally adapted to their habitat. ...

Adaptation is a key evolutionary process which may be important to maintain population viability during rapid environmental changes. The European grayling (Thymallus thymallus) is a freshwater salmonid that effectively ...

The PIM kinase family comprises three constitutively active serine/threonine kinases that affect cell proliferation, survival, and motility, especially when upregulated in hematological malignancies or solid tumors, such ...

Traditionally nature plays a significant role for people worldwide. Thousands of years ago our ancestors made their life-related decisions by accounting for the environmental situation. They relied on natural phenomena, ...

Anthropogenic contamination is a wide-spread environmental problem. In addition to persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic legacy contaminants, emerging contaminants with unknown environmental behaviour are causing concern. ...

Pollination is an essential process for the sexual reproduction of seed plants, and the majority of flowering plants worldwide benefit from insect pollinators. However, insect pollinators have been declining globally, and ...

The loss and degradation of boreal old-growth forest is threatening biodiversity and a wide range of ecosystem services. Especially in Europe, the boreal forest has been subject to intensification of forestry practices, ...

Chemical pollution of the environment is widespread with detrimental effects on wildlife. Currently, more than 350 000 different chemicals or mixtures thereof are registered on the global market and the chemical industry ...
