Replication Data for: Intraspecific variation in spruce seed palatability perceived by bank voles
No full textReplication data for the experimental study that investigates the between-year variation in spruce seed palatability as it is perceived by captured wild bank voles in South-Eastern Norway.
This study investigated whether bank voles can distinguish between Norway spruce seeds from different mast years. In controlled trials, voles did not show significant preferences for a certain seed batch. The results support that variations in the small spruce seeds may be primarily a quantitative burst of food (i.e., during mast seeding) rather than a factor that shapes vole feeding behaviour
Replication Data for: Gene expression changes in ducklings exposed in ovo to emerging per-/poly-fluoroalkyl substances PFDoDS and PFECHS
No full textThis dataset contains the data required to reproduce the analysis and the figures in the paper: Gene expression changes in ducklings exposed in ovo to emerging per-/poly-fluoroalkyl substances PFDoDS and PFECHS.
This study investigated the effects of two emerging PFAS compounds, perfluoro-4-ethylcyclohexane sulfonic acid (PFECHS) and perfluorododecane sulfonic acid (PFDoDS), alongside legacy perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), on gene expression in the liver, heart, and bursa of Fabricius from mallard ducklings (Anas platyrhynchos) exposed in ovo. These PFAS compounds were selected based on their detection in a declining sea duck species and concerns over their endocrine disruption potential. Farmed mallard eggs were injected with environmentally relevant concentrations of PFECHS, PFDoDS and the regulated PFOS.
In the liver, mRNA and smallRNA sequencing revealed sex-specific changes in genes related to metabolism and immune function, particularly those involved in antiviral responses, in PFECHS- and PFDoDS-exposed ducklings. In the heart, targeted qPCR analysis of mRNA and microRNA associated with stress, inflammation, and development showed no statistically significant differences, though trends included altered expression of genes involved in oxidative and cellular stress responses across treatments. In the bursa of Fabricius, targeted qPCR of immune-related mRNA revealed upward trends in innate immune gene expression across all exposure groups, also consistent with antiviral immune activation.
These findings demonstrate that emerging PFAS exposure alters gene regulation related to key physiological pathways, with responses differing by sex and tissue type. Our results underscore the complexity of PFAS-induced immune modulation and highlight potential developmental risks of maternal PFAS transfer in wild avian species

Replication Data for: Redundancy and rivalry in language. A case study of Russian diminutives
No full textDataset:The dataset includes examples of different diminutive constructions: morphological diminutives where the diminutive is expressed via suffixation (e.g. dom-ik 'house-dim'), analytical constructions with adjectives meaning 'small' (e.g. malen'kiy dom 'small house') and combinations of morphological diminutives with adjectives meaning 'small' (e.g. malen'kiy dom-ik 'small house-dim'). The data were culled from the Russian National Corpus (www.ruscorpora.ru) in Spring 2017. The dataset covers the period from 1776 to 2012 and consists of 978 examples (only one example per author). The entire dataset is in Russian.Abstract: In the present study of Russian diminutive constructions, I follow Goldberg’s idea about sematic or pragmatic differences that always accompany syntactic differences (Goldberg 1995: 67). My manually checked database comprises almost 1000 examples culled from the Russian National corpus (www.ruscorpora.ru) and includes three types of diminutive constructions: 1) morphological diminutives of the type dom-ik ‘houseDIM’, 2) analytical diminutives such as malen’kij dom ‘small house’ and milyj dom ‘nice house’ and 3) a mixed type where morphological diminutives occur with adjectives, such as malen’kij dom-ik ‘small houseDIM’. My analysis reveals differences between morphological and analytical diminutives, which are not freely distributed across the examples. While morphological diminutives rarely refer to size only, adjectives are often used for further specification and in order to avoid ambiguity. The variation in Russian diminutives sheds light on an important theoretical question of redundancy and its role in language. The results of the present study indicate that redundancy is motivated, has a function and helps language users avoid ambiguity

Article abstract:
This paper examines the semantic structuring of a paradigm of 89 minimizers, i.e., nouns that reinforce sentential negation in present-day Netherlandic Dutch, such as meter ‘meter’ in voor geen meter vertrouwen ‘not to trust for a meter’. Cosine distances are computed on the basis of the predicates the minimizers combine with in a sample of 100 tokens downloaded from the Dutch Web corpus 2014 (nlTenTen14) and clustered according to the Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) algorithm into nine semantic clusters. The clusters largely correspond to semantic categories such as taboo terms or units of money. This suggests that, in general, minimizers belonging to the same semantic domain are combined with a similar (core) set of predicates. Based on the shared predicates per cluster, we detect signs of analogical attraction between minimizers or, conversely, competition. Crucially, low silhouette widths enable us to identify outliers in their respective clusters, for instance, minimizing nouns that exhibit signs of context expansion, as shown by their combination with semantically non-harmonious verbs. As such, this paper provides a synchronic snapshot of the semantic processes involved in (incipient) grammaticalization of minimizing nouns and, more in general, it illustrates how distributional semantics offers a heuristic to analyze the structure of a network of comparable micro-constructions.</p
Replication Data for: Changes in DNA Methylation During Anoxia and Reoxygenation in Crucian Carp Brain
No full textThis analysis contained the identification of DNA methylation sites in the context of CpG islands and differentially methylated regions (DMRs) with MethylScore. Further the mRNA sequencing data were analyzed to differentially expressed genes. Differentially expressed genes and identified DMRs were correlated. Finally DMRs and their expression changes were characterized in their genomic context. All raw sequencing data used as input for analyses to obtain the data in this repository are deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) under BioProject ID PRJNA1163668 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/1163668). The genome assembly and annotation data used here were obtained from DataverseNO (https://doi.org/10.18710/GXMSUH). This genome assembly is based on the raw sequencing data deposited under BioProject ID PRJNA1119394 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/1119394). Together these data were used to identify CpG sites genome wide and further identify differentially methylated regions. The corresponding mRNA was utilized to identify transcriptional changes and enable a comparison of differentially methylated genes with differentially expressed genes.

It contains experimental results obtained in the wake of a finite wing, specifically capturing the wing tip vortex, at different turbulent flow conditions set using an active turbulence grid. The wing tip vortex was captured using cross-stream stereoscopic particle image velocimetry (PIV). Characterisation of the turbulent inflow generated by the active grid was carried out using hot-wire anemometry (HWA)
Optimizing surface wettability for confined H2–CH4 clathrates in porous activated carbon
No full textSimulation trajectories for gas clathrate hydrate equilibration, dissociation, and formation nanoconfined within a porous activated carbon host. The simulations were performed on resources provided by Sigma2—the National Infrastructure for High-Performance Computing and Data Storage in Norway, under projects nn9391k, nn9110k, and nn8084k.Abstract:
Hydrogen (H2) clathrate hydrates present an attractive solid-state solution for safe and efficient hydrogen storage. However, their practical deployment is challenged by slow formation kinetics and suboptimal storage capacities. Porous media, particularly activated carbons, have been shown to substantially enhance clathrate formation under milder conditions, yet the critical role of surface chemistry on clathrate formation kinetics and stability remains incompletely understood. This study employs molecular dynamics simulations to systematically investigate the influence of surface wettability on the formation, stability, and gas-storage performance of binary H2–CH4 clathrates confined in nanoporous activated carbon hosts. The results identified a clear optimum at moderate hydrophilicity (water contact angle of 43◦, excluding surface roughness effects), simultaneously maximizing clathrate formation rates, stability, and gas-storage efficiency. This can be attributed to the observation that highly hydrophilic surfaces disrupt clathrate hydrates through excessive structuring of interfacial water, whereas strongly hydrophobic surfaces promote gas-water phase separation, inhibiting formation and promoting dissociation. Furthermore, the critical pore size required for stable clathrate confinement is found to be minimized at intermediate wettability, thereby maximizing accessible pore volume. This study demonstrates the feasibility of a dual-storage mechanism in porous media combining micropore physisorption with meso/macropore enclathration, significantly enhancing hydrogen storage capacity across a broad range of surface chemistries. The findings provide molecular-level guidelines for optimizing the design of porous materials tailored for efficient hydrogen and methane storage applications
