Lakes, as providers of numerous ecosystem services, face multiple stressors that threaten their functioning. Harmful cyanobacterial blooms are a persistent problem resulting from nutrient pollution and climate-change induced stressors, like poor transparency, increased water temperature and enhanced stratification. Consistency in data collection and analysis methods is necessary to achieve fully comparable datasets and for statistical validity, avoiding issues linked to disparate data sources. The European Multi Lake Survey (EMLS) in summer 2015 was an initiative among scientists from 27 countries to collect and analyse lake physical, chemical and biological variables in a fully standardized manner. This database includes in-situ lake variables along with nutrient, pigment and cyanotoxin data of 369 lakes in Europe, which were centrally analysed in dedicated laboratories. Publishing the EMLS methods and dataset might inspire similar initiatives to study across large geographic areas that will contribute to better understanding lake responses in a changing environment.}, language = {en} } @misc{MantzoukiLuerlingFastneretal.2018, author = {Mantzouki, Evanthia and L{\"u}rling, Miquel and Fastner, Jutta and Domis, Lisette Nicole de Senerpont and Wilk-Wo{\'{z}}niak, Elżbieta and Koreiviene, Judita and Seelen, Laura and Teurlincx, Sven and Verstijnen, Yvon and Krztoń, Wojciech and Walusiak, Edward and Karosienė, Jūratė and Kasperovičienė, Jūratė and Savadova, Ksenija and Vitonytė, Irma and Cillero-Castro, Carmen and Budzyńska, Agnieszka and Goldyn, Ryszard and Kozak, Anna and Rosińska, Joanna and Szeląg-Wasielewska, Elżbieta and Domek, Piotr and Jakubowska-Krepska, Natalia and Kwasizur, Kinga and Messyasz, Beata and Pełechata, Aleksandra and Pełechaty, Mariusz and Kokocinski, Mikolaj and Garc{\´i}a-Murcia, Ana and Real, Monserrat and Romans, Elvira and Noguero-Ribes, Jordi and Duque, David Parre{\~n}o and Fern{\´a}ndez-Mor{\´a}n, El{\´i}sabeth and Karakaya, Nusret and H{\"a}ggqvist, Kerstin and Beklioğlu, Meryem and Filiz, Nur and Levi, Eti E. and Iskin, Uğur and Bezirci, Gizem and Tav{\c{s}}anoğlu, {\"U}lk{\"u} Nihan and {\"O}zhan, Koray and Gkelis, Spyros and Panou, Manthos and Fakioglu, {\"O}zden and Avagianos, Christos and Kaloudis, Triantafyllos and {\c{C}}elik, Kemal and Yilmaz, Mete and Marc{\´e}, Rafael and Catal{\´a}n, Nuria and Bravo, Andrea G. and Buck, Moritz and Colom-Montero, William and Mustonen, Kristiina and Pierson, Don and Yang, Yang and Raposeiro, Pedro M. and Gon{\c{c}}alves, V{\´i}tor and Antoniou, Maria G. and Tsiarta, Nikoletta and McCarthy, Valerie and Perello, Victor C. and Feldmann, T{\~o}nu and Laas, Alo and Panksep, Kristel and Tuvikene, Lea and Gagala, Ilona and Mankiewicz-Boczek, Joana and Yağc{\i}, Meral Apayd{\i}n and {\c{C}}{\i}nar, Şakir and {\c{C}}apk{\i}n, Kadir and Yağc{\i}, Abdulkadir and Cesur, Mehmet and Bilgin, Fuat and Bulut, Cafer and Uysal, Rahmi and Obertegger, Ulrike and Boscaini, Adriano and Flaim, Giovanna and Salmaso, Nico and Cerasino, Leonardo and Richardson, Jessica and Visser, Petra M. and Verspagen, Jolanda M.

GrassPlot collects plot records (releves) from grasslands and other open habitats of the Palaearctic biogeographic realm. It focuses on precisely delimited plots of eight standard grain sizes (0.0001; 0.001;... 1,000 m(2)) and on nested-plot series with at least four different grain sizes. The usage of GrassPlot is regulated through Bylaws that intend to balance the interests of data contributors and data users. The current version (v. 1.00) contains data for approximately 170,000 plots of different sizes and 2,800 nested-plot series. The key components are richness data and metadata. However, most included datasets also encompass compositional data. About 14,000 plots have near-complete records of terricolous bryophytes and lichens in addition to vascular plants. At present, GrassPlot contains data from 36 countries throughout the Palaearctic, spread across elevational gradients and major grassland types. GrassPlot with its multi-scale and multi-taxon focus complements the larger international vegetationplot databases, such as the European Vegetation Archive (EVA) and the global database " sPlot". Its main aim is to facilitate studies on the scale-and taxon-dependency of biodiversity patterns and drivers along macroecological gradients. GrassPlot is a dynamic database and will expand through new data collection coordinated by the elected Governing Board. We invite researchers with suitable data to join GrassPlot. Researchers with project ideas addressable with GrassPlot data are welcome to submit proposals to the Governing Board.}, language = {en} } @article{MiethKloftRodriguezetal.2016, author = {Mieth, Bettina and Kloft, Marius and Rodriguez, Juan Antonio and Sonnenburg, Soren and Vobruba, Robin and Morcillo-Suarez, Carlos and Farre, Xavier and Marigorta, Urko M. and Fehr, Ernst and Dickhaus, Thorsten and Blanchard, Gilles and Schunk, Daniel and Navarro, Arcadi and M{\"u}ller, Klaus-Robert}, title = {Combining Multiple Hypothesis Testing with Machine Learning Increases the Statistical Power of Genome-wide Association Studies}, series = {Scientific reports}, volume = {6}, journal = {Scientific reports}, publisher = {Nature Publ.

To improve the analysis of GWAS, we propose a combination of machine learning and statistical testing that takes correlation structures within the set of SNPs under investigation in a mathematically well-controlled manner into account. The novel two-step algorithm, COMBI, first trains a support vector machine to determine a subset of candidate SNPs and then performs hypothesis tests for these SNPs together with an adequate threshold correction. Applying COMBI to data from a WTCCC study (2007) and measuring performance as replication by independent GWAS published within the 2008-2015 period, we show that our method outperforms ordinary raw p-value thresholding as well as other state-of-the-art methods. COMBI presents higher power and precision than the examined alternatives while yielding fewer false (i.e. non-replicated) and more true (i.e. replicated) discoveries when its results are validated on later GWAS studies. More than 80\% of the discoveries made by COMBI upon WTCCC data have been validated by independent studies. Implementations of the COMBI method are available as a part of the GWASpi toolbox 2.0.}, language = {en} }
