For the first time D(2)Se and HDSe as (80)Se monoisotopic and natural material were studied in the region of the nu(2) fundamental vibration by high-resolution (0.0033 cm(-1)) Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. For D(2)Se which is an asymmetric rotor with C(2v) symmetry the nu(2) band is of B type while for HDSe (C(s) symmetry) it is a hybrid band, and both A- and B-type transitions were observed. Depending on the isotopic abundances, 300-1000 lines were assigned for each of the isotopic (M)Se species (M = 76, 77, 78, 80, and 82). The corresponding (010) experimental rotational levels, obtained by adding the observed line positions to the ground state levels derived from J.-M. Flaud, Ph. Arcas, O. N. Ulenikov, G. A. Onopenko, N. E. Tyabaeva, W. Jerzembeck, and H. Bürger, (J. Mol. Spectrosc., in press) were fitted satisfactorily using a Watson-type Hamiltonian in A reduction and I(r)-representation: the rms deviations are ranging from 1.5 to 4.3 x 10(-4) cm(-1) depending on the isotopic species. Hamiltonian constants up to high order (octic terms) were determined for each isotopic species. For the most abundant Se isotopic species, namely (80)Se, the band centers are nu(0) (D(2)(80)Se) = 741.67503 cm(-1) and nu(0) (HD(80)Se) = 900.43820 cm(-1). Copyright 1999 Academic Press.

Elevated methylmercury (MeHg) exposure poses significant risks to bird health, behavior, and reproduction. Still, the risk of MeHg exposure to forest birds, accounting for over 80 % of the world's bird species, is poorly understood. This study combines Hg isotopes and video analysis, aiming to assess MeHg exposure risks to a forest riverine songbird, the spotted forktail (Enicurus maculatus) from a remote subtropical montane forest.

The primary production of fjords across the Arctic and Subarctic is undergoing significant transformations due to the climatically driven retreat of glaciers and ice sheets. However, the implications of these changes for upper trophic levels remain largely unknown. In this study, we employ both bulk and compound-specific stable isotope analyses to investigate how shifts at the base of fjord food webs impact the carbon and energy sources of consumers.

Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) is a highly expressed and structurally unique target specific to prostate cancer (PCa). Diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in nuclear medicine, coupling PSMA ligands with radionuclides, have shown significant clinical success. PSMA-PET/CT effectively identifies tumors and metastatic lymph nodes for imaging purposes, while -PSMA-617 (Pluvicto) has received FDA approval for treating metastatic castration-resistant PCa (mCRPC).

The ecophysiological and ecohydrological impacts of climate change and progressively increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO) concentration on agroecosystems are not well understood compared to the forest ecosystems. In this study, we utilized the presence of old apple and pear trees in the alpine valleys of Northern Italy (maintained for cultural heritage purposes) to investigate climate-scale physiological responses. We developed long-term tree-ring stable isotopic records (δC and δO) from apple (1976-2021) and pear trees (1943-2021).

For similar species to co-occur in places where resources are limited, they need to adopt strategies that partition resources to reduce competition. Our understanding of the mechanisms behind resource partitioning among sympatric marine predators is evolving, but we lack a clear understanding of how environmental change is impacting these dynamics. We investigated spatial and trophic resource partitioning among three sympatric seabirds with contrasting biological characteristics: greater crested terns Thalasseus bergii (efficient flyer, limited diver, and preference for high quality forage fish), little penguins Eudyptula minor (flightless, efficient diver, and preference for high quality forage fish) and silver gulls Chroicocephalus novaehollandiae (efficient flyer, limited diver and generalist diet).
