    Anchoring Revisited: The Role of the Comparative Question

    Ina Grau; Gerd Bohner

    PLoS ONE, Vol. 9 No. 1 · 2014 · English · PLOS Scopus

    When people estimate a numeric value after judging whether it is larger or smaller than a high or low anchor value (comparative question), estimates are biased in the direction of the anchor. One explanation for this anchoring effect is that people selectively access knowledge consistent with the…

    Why we need to explore conflict and competition around solar geoengineering

    Ina Möller; Danielle N. Young

    PLOS Climate, Vol. 5 No. 4 · 2026 · English · PLOS Scopus

    In an increasingly aggressive international political environment, solar geoengineering needs to be reconceptualized – not only as a response to climate change, but as an instrument of power. This conceptualization means going beyond focusing on cooperative scenarios in which the technology is used…

    Superficial Nephrons in BALB/c and C57BL/6 Mice Facilitate In Vivo Multiphoton Microscopy of the Kidney

    Ina Maria Schießl; Sophia Bardehle; Hayo Castrop

    PLoS ONE, Vol. 8 No. 1 · 2013 · English · PLOS Scopus

    Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) offers a unique approach for addressing both the function and structure of an organ in near-real time in the live animal. The method however is limited by the tissue-specific penetration depth of the excitation laser. In the kidney, structures in the range of 100 µm…

    Variable Effects of Dispersal on Productivity of Bacterial Communities Due to Changes in Functional Trait Composition

    Ina Severin; Örjan Östman; Eva S. Lindström

    PLoS ONE, Vol. 8 No. 12 · 2013 · English · PLOS Scopus

    Previous studies have shown variable relationships between dispersal rate and ecosystem functioning, but the reasons for and mechanisms behind variable dispersal rate – functioning patterns are currently unknown. In this study we used six bacterial lake water communities in a laboratory experiment…

    Relationships between Bacterial Community Composition, Functional Trait Composition and Functioning Are Context Dependent – but What Is the Context?

    Ina Severin; Eva S. Lindström; Örjan Östman

    PLoS ONE, Vol. 9 No. 11 · 2014 · English · PLOS Scopus

    Bacterial communities are immensely diverse and drive many fundamental ecosystem processes. However, the role of bacterial community composition (BCC) for functioning is still unclear. Here we evaluate the relative importance of BCC (from 454-sequencing), functional traits (from Biolog Ecoplates)…

    Urine effects on grass and legume nitrogen isotopic composition: Pronounced short-term dynamics of δ 15 N

    Bettina Tonn; Ina Porath; Fernando A. Lattanzi et al.

    PLOS ONE, Vol. 14 No. 1 · 2019 · English · PLOS Scopus

    Nitrogen stable isotope (15N) natural abundance is widely used to study nitrogen cycling. In grazed ecosystems, urine patches are hot-spots of nitrogen inputs, losses, and changes in δ15N. Understanding δ15N dynamics in urine-affected vegetation is therefore crucial for accurate inferences from 15N…
