Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics in Freshwater Systems
(2022)Encyclopedia of Inland Waters (Second Edition)Eco-evolutionary dynamics encompasses the simultaneous reciprocal interactions between ecological and evolutionary processes. We discuss how eco-evolutionary dynamics can be detected, and showcase five key examples of eco-evolutionary dynamics in freshwater systems as assessed in the laboratory, in the field, and in unconfined nature. We demonstrate the ubiquity of eco-evolutionary dynamics in freshwater systems with focusing on the ...Encyclopedia Entry -

Terbium radionuclides for theranostics
(2022)Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. Volume 4: Nuclear Medicine TherapyThe concept of radiotheragnostics dates several decades, with the application of radioiodine for imaging and therapy of thyroid cancer. Later, tumor-specific targeting agents for coordination of radiometals have been introduced in clinical routine to enable nuclear imaging and therapeutic interventions, respectively. Among a variety of radionuclides currently used or proposed for radiotheragnostics, terbium has received particular attention, ...Encyclopedia Entry -
PET imaging in cardiovascular inflammation: Cardiac sarcoidosis
(2022)Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. Volume 3: Positron Emission Tomography StudiesSarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of which the etiology remains unknown.

A proper clinical management should be started as early as possible in order to avoid complications such as conduction disturbance, systolic dysfunction, and even sudden cardiac death. Cardiac fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission ...Encyclopedia Entry -
A Diversity of Primary Producers in Lakes
(2022)Encyclopedia of Inland WatersAim: We present the current state of knowledge with regards to the biodiversity of phytoplankton in lakes. We introduce the main concepts of biodiversity and review the mechanisms regulating phytoplankton diversity at local and regional scales. We also list the main methods to study phytoplankton diversity and offer a set of case studies for further reading. Main concepts: What is biodiversity at the local and regional scale (taxonomic, ...Encyclopedia Entry
