IntroductionEndosymbiotic bacteria in the genus Wolbachia have evolved numerous strategies for manipulating host reproduction in order to promote their own transmission.This includes the feminization of males into functional females, a well-studied phenotype in the isopod Armadillidium vulgare.Despite an early description of this Goalkeeper Jersey
The removal of two large dams on the Elwha River was completed in 2014 with a goal of restoring anadromous salmonid populations.Using observations from ongoing field studies, we compiled a timeline of migratory fish passage upstream of each dam.We also used spatially continuous snorkeling surveys in consecutive years before (2007, 2008) and after (
IntroductionTemperate phages can engage in the horizontal transfer of functional genes to their bacterial hosts.Thus, their genetic material becomes an intimate part of bacterial genomes and plays essential roles in bacterial mutation and evolution.Specifically, temperate phages can naturally transmit genes by integrating their genomes into the bac
Abstract Background Climate change is expected to have a negative impact on food availability.While most efforts have been directed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, complementary strategies are necessary to control the detrimental effects of climate change on farm animal performance.The objective of this study was to develop novel animal resil
The method of neutralising ordnance by rinsing explosive materials with a solution enables significant cost saving while reducing the risk pyrotechnic personnel is exposed Dryer Thermistor to, especially during ammunition transport to recycling sites.Costs for necessary special equipment are minimal.The technology is easy to be automated Picture Fr
