Migration distance from birthplace and its association with relative income and employment share among heterosexual couples in Switzerland

Vincent Kaufmann, Gil Viry, Alexis Gumy, Guillaume Simon Joseph Drevon, Florian Lucien Jacques Masse

Among heterosexual couples, employment of the female partner may suffer from household migration often driven by the job of the male partner. Most research has traditionally focused on the distance moved after couple formation and has neglected how far par ...

The end of urban sprawl? Internal migration across the rural-urban continuum in Switzerland, 1966-2018

Mathias Lerch

In high-income countries, migration redistributed populations from congested city centres into the sparsely populated outskirts, raising challenges to environmental and population health and the conservation of biodiversity. We evaluate whether this periur ...

International Migration And The Growth Of Zurich, 1836-1949

Mathias Lerch

The role played by international migration and its interactions with other demographic components in the process of city growth remains underappreciated. We analyze trends in natural increase and in net internal and international migration in Zurich during ...

Population Genomics of Mycobacterium leprae Reveals a New Genotype in Madagascar and the Comoros

Stewart Cole, Philippe Busso, Pushpendra Singh, Stefanie Boy-Röttger, Andrej Benjak, Charlotte Avanzi, Thyago Leal Calvo

Human settlement of Madagascar traces back to the beginning of the first millennium with the arrival of Austronesians from Southeast Asia, followed by migrations from Africa and the Middle East. Remains of these different cultural, genetic, and linguistic ...

The Demographic History of African Drosophila melanogaster

Adamantia Kapopoulou, Jeffrey David Jensen, Stefan Jean Laurent, Susanne Petra Pfeifer

As one of the most commonly utilized organisms in the study of local adaptation, an accurate characterization of the demographic history of Drosophila melanogaster remains as an important research question. This owes both to the inherent interest in charac ...

Climate or migration: what limited European beech post-glacial colonization?

Basil Andrew Stansfield Davis

AimDespite the recent improvements made in species distribution models (SDMs), assessing species' ability to migrate fast enough to track their climate optimum remains a challenge. This study achieves this goal and demonstrates the reliability of a process ...

Advanced Data Mining Method for Discovering Regions and Trajectories of Moving Objects: "Ciconia ciconia" Scenario

Stefano Spaccapietra, Claudio Magalhaes Carneiro

Trajectory data is of crucial importance for a vast range of applications involving analysis of moving objects behavior. Unfortunately, the extraction of relevant knowledge from trajectory data is hindered by the lack of semantics and the presence of error ...

Part I: A novel in-vitro system for simultaneous mechanical stimulation and time-lapse microscopy in 3D

Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

To investigate the migration response of cells to changes in their biophysical environment, a novel uniaxial cell stimulation device (UCSD) has been designed and tested. The device is capable of applying very precise user-defined static or dynamic mechanic ...

Part II: Fibroblasts preferentially migrate in the direction of principal strain

Matthias Lütolf, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell

A growing body of evidence suggests that the sensory information from the cytoskeleton and integrins may be responsible for guiding migration during mechano- and haptotaxis. However, the dual function of these subcellular structures as mechano-sensors and ...
