All_TDRdata.csv contains the data from 48 TDR sensors (30 cm) installed in the three rainout shelters. Sensors 1 - 18 were installed vertically to obtain soil moisture content averaged over the 10 - 40 cm profile, on 6 locations per shelter Sensors 19-21 were installed diagonally to obtain soil moisture content averaged over the 20 - 40 cm profile on one location per shelter Sensors 22-24 were installed diagonally to obtain soil moisture content averaged over the 40 - 60 cm profile on one location per shelter Sensors 25-27 were installed horizontally to obtain soil moisture content at 10 cm ...
i-Dreams H2020 EU Project: Sample dataset Universiteit Hasselt
The overall objective of the i-DREAMS project is to setup a framework for the definition, development, testing and validation of a context-aware safety envelope for driving (‘Safety Tolerance Zone’), within a smart Driver, Vehicle & Environment Assessment and Monitoring System (i-DREAMS). Taking into account driver background factors and real-time risk indicators associated with the driving performance as well as the driver state and driving task complexity indicators, a continuous real-time assessment is made to monitor and determine if a driver is within acceptable boundaries of safe ...
The legacy of country-level experience of armed conflict on emancipative value preferences: A global cross-national study Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This study examines the legacies of large-scale armed conflict on emancipative value preferences from 1946 to 2012. The multilevel analysis indicates that people living in countries with past armed conflict are more likely to endorse less emancipative value preferences. The higher the intensity and the longer the duration of the armed conflict episodes experienced in a country, the greater the impact on values. Our evidence further suggests that the mechanism through which armed conflict shapes values is by diminishing/destructing the material, intellectual, and connective resources available ...
AlgaeTraits: a trait database for (European) seaweeds (dataset)
The macroalgae traits project started in 2014 as one of the pilot projects for collecting traits under EMODnet Biology. During this pilot project, Sofie Vranken (UGent) started compiling several traits for European marine algal genera in a database. This was in collaboration with Olivier De Clerck (UGent). In 2017, Sofie and Olivier reaeched out to Marine Robuchon and Line Le Gall of MNHN in Paris, since they had the idea to develop a similar traits database on species level, as the traits might slightly differ between the species in the same genus. The spreadsheets at the genus level and ...

Investment in chemical signalling glands facilitates the evolution of sociality in lizards Universiteit Antwerpen
Martin Whiting
The evolution of sociality and traits that correlate with, or predict, sociality, have been the focus of considerable recent study. In order to reduce the social conflict that ultimately comes with group living, and foster social tolerance, individuals need reliable information about group members and potential rivals. Chemical signals are one such source of information and are widely used in many animal taxa, including lizards. Here, we take a phylogenetic comparative approach to test the hypothesis that social grouping correlates with investment in chemical signalling. We used the presence ...
Summary of the microsatellite genotyping analysis of 280 C. gariepinus samples originating from eight locations in the Congo basin using five microsatellite markers Universiteit Hasselt
Aim The formation history of Africa’s current river basins remains largely unknown. In order to date changes in landscape and climate, we studied the biogeography of the African freshwater fish with the largest natural distribution. We also validated biogeographic units. Location Continental Africa. Taxon Clarias gariepinus sl. Methods We investigated mitochondrial cytb sequences of 443 individuals from 97 localities, using a haplotype network and a genetic landscape analysis. We inferred a dated phylogeny using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference approaches and reconstructed ancestral ...
Data from: Risk of short-term biodiversity loss under more persistent precipitation regimes Universiteit Antwerpen
Recent findings indicate that atmospheric warming increases the persistence of weather patterns in the mid-latitudes, resulting in sequences of longer dry and wet periods compared to historic averages. The alternation of progressively longer dry and wet extremes could increasingly select for species with a broad environmental tolerance. As a consequence, biodiversity may decline. Here, we explore the relationship between the persistence of summer precipitation regimes and plant diversity by subjecting experimental grassland mesocosms to a gradient of dry-wet alternation frequencies whilst ...
