1. Integrative taxonomy of birds : Studies into the nature, origin and delimitation of species
Abstract : Species are the basic currency in biodiversity studies but what constitutes a species has long been controversial. A major breakthough was the insight that most systematists agree that species are segments of population lineages, and that multiple lines of evidence should be employed and integrated, a procedure called integrative taxonomy.

2. In vivo analysis of amino acid permease folding in yeast
Abstract : Plasma membrane (PM) proteins are critical for cells to respond to environmental cues, such as the availability of nutrients. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is able to sense extracellular amino acids using the SPS sensing system. READ MORE

3. Searching for food in complex environments : Integrating processes at multiple spatial scales
Abstract : Resources are often unevenly distributed through the environment, resulting in a challenging task for insects to locate food, mates and oviposition sites. Consequently, there is an ongoing need to unravel how insects rely on behavioural and sensory traits while searching for resources in heterogeneous environments. READ MORE

4. Trees and the environment : Possibilities and challenges in tree-ring research across spatial and temporal scales based on case studies in Sweden
Abstract : The need to understand and quantify the magnitude and frequency of past and current environmental changes increased the demand for high-resolution proxy data across spatial and temporal scales. Due to their long lifespan and global distribution, trees provide a unique and continuous record of environmental variability. READ MORE

5. Detailed structure features from 3D electron diffraction : Heteroatoms, framework disorders, and guest species in zeolites
Abstract : 3D electron diffraction (3D ED) has evolved as a powerful method for ab initio structure determination from sub micrometer-sized crystals. It can be used to elucidate the arrangement of atoms in crystalline materials and to provide insights into the laws of nature that govern the properties of matter. READ MORE
