Air temperature and precipitation constraining the modelled wetland methane emissions in a boreal region in northern Europe by T. Aalto, A. Tsuruta, J. Mäkelä, J. Müller, J. Müller, M. Tenkanen, E. Burke, S. Chadburn, Y. Gao, V. Mannisenaho, T. Kleinen, H. Lee, H. Lee, A. Leppänen, T. Markkanen, S. Materia, P. A. Miller, D. Peano, O. Peltola, B. Poulter, M. Raivonen, M. Saunois, D. Wårlind, S. Zaehle

“…Two models with contrasting response patterns, LPX-Bern and JSBACH-HIMMELI, are used as priors in atmospheric inversions with Carbon Tracker Europe–CH4 (CTE-CH4) in order to find out how the assimilation of atmospheric concentration data changes the flux estimates and how this alters the interpretation of the flux responses to temperature and precipitation. Inversion moves wetland emissions of both models towards co-limitation by temperature and precipitation. …”

Exploring the effect of play on heart rate variability as a measure of positive emotional states in pigs by Karolína Steinerová, Annika Krause, Sarah E. Parker, Yolande M. Seddon

“…In 10-s bouts, compared to baseline, RMSSD was higher during play (p = 0.027) and after-play (p = 0.015), while SDNN increased during play (p ≤ 0.001) and after-play (p = 0.008) only with ambulation (pig moving forward: walking or running). HR did not differ across periods but was higher at ambulation (p = 0.003). …”
