Sampbias, a method for quantifying geographic sampling biases in species distribution data

Zizka, Alexander ; Antonelli, Alexandre ; Silvestro, Daniele

In: Ecography, 2020/n/a/n/a/-

Geo-referenced species occurrences from public databases have become essential to biodiversity research and conservation. However, geographical biases are widely recognized as a factor limiting the usefulness of such data for understanding species diversity and distribution. In particular, differences in sampling intensity across a landscape due to differences in human accessibility are...

Breast milk microbiota: A review of the factors that influence composition

Zimmermann, Petra ; Curtis, Nigel

In: Journal of Infection, 2020, vol. 81, no. 1, p. 17–47

Breastfeeding is associated with considerable health benefits for infants. Aside from essential nutrients, immune cells and bioactive components, breast milk also contains a diverse range of microbes, which are important for maintaining mammary and infant health. In this review, we summarise studies that have investigated the composition of the breast milk microbiota and factors that might...

A taxonomic revision of geoemydid turtles from Siwalik-age of India and Pakistan

Garbin, Rafaella C. ; Bandyopadhyay, Saswati ; Joyce, Walter G.

In: European Journal of Taxonomy, 2020, no. 652, p. -

Neogene (Siwalik-aged) deposits from India and Pakistan have yielded many vertebrate fossils, of which most were named during the 19th century, including numerous geoemydid turtles. In contrast to many other faunal components from the Siwaliks, geoemydids have not undergone taxonomic revision for more than a century and most fossils have therefore been believed to correspond to recent taxa....

Labour market outcomes : Careers, transitions and durations

Malfitano, Paolo ; Maggi, Rico (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020ECO004.

This thesis contributes to labour economics by considering a wide range of factors influencing career paths, transitions to self- employment and duration in entrepreneurship. In the past literature, several studies have analysed labour market outcomes, transitions and durations. Nevertheless, there is the need of knowing more about the influence of individual and background characteristics on...

Targeted Capture of Hundreds of Nuclear Genes Unravels Phylogenetic Relationships of the Diverse Neotropical Palm Tribe Geonomateae

Loiseau, Oriane ; Olivares, Ingrid ; Paris, Margot ; Harpe, Marylaure de La ; Weigand, Anna ; Koubínová, Darina ; Rolland, Jonathan ; Bacon, Christine D. ; Balslev, Henrik ; Borchsenius, Finn ; Cano, Angela ; Couvreur, Thomas L. P. ; Delnatte, César ; Fardin, Frédérique ; Gayot, Marc ; Mejía, Fabian ; Mota-Machado, Talita ; Perret, Mathieu ; Roncal, Julissa ; Sanin, Maria José ; Stauffer, Fred ; Lexer, Christian ; Kessler, Michael ; Salamin, Nicolas

In: Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019, vol. 10, p. -

The tribe Geonomateae is a widely distributed group of 103 species of Neotropical palms which contains six ecologically important understory or subcanopy genera. Although it has been the focus of many studies, our understanding of the evolutionary history of this group, and in particular of the taxonomically complex genus Geonoma, is far from complete due to a lack of molecular data....

Biogeography and phylogenetic relationships of Hyrcanian wild apple using cpDNA and ITS noncoding sequences

Yousefzadeh, Hamed ; Khodadost, Ali ; Abdollahi, Hamid ; Ali, Syed Shujait ; Kozlowski, Gregor ; Bina, Hamid

In: Systematics and Biodiversity, 2019, vol. 17, no. 3, p. 295–307

The Hyrcanian forest of northern Iran is considered one of the potential centres for the evolution and domestication of the genus Malus (Rosaceae). However, the biogeography, phylogenetic position, and taxonomic status of the Hyrcanian wild apples have never been evaluated. In our study, the nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and the trnH-psbA intergenic spacer...
