Are rare plant species less resistant than common ones to herbivores? A multi-plant species study using above- and below-ground generalist herbivores. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 In our multi‐herbivore and multi‐plant species experiment, we address the link between plant resistance to herbivores and their local and regional rarity by putting it into context with their life‐history traits, habitats and evolutionary history. We found that rare plant species are not less resistant to herbivores than common ones.

Nutrient Content and Antioxidant Properties of Eggs of the Land Snail Helix aspersa maxima
Journal of Nutrition & Food Sciences, 2017 This paper describes selected biochemical and analytical composition of Helix aspersa maxima eggs. Analyses determined the percentages of proteins, lipids, sugars, the composition of water and mineral elements, also antioxidant capacity. H. aspersa maxima eggs contain the high percentage of protein and are low in lipids (cholesterol content average 0 ...

Journal of Phycology, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 309-322, April 2023., 2023 Abstract Interactions between marine diatoms and bacteria have been studied for decades. However, the visualization of physical interactions between these diatoms and their colonizers is still limited. To enhance our understanding of these specific interactions, a new Thalassiosira rotula isolate from the North Sea (strain 8673) was characterized by ...

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 In this study, a biodegradable and mechanically robust film was synthesized using seaweeds (Gracilarialichenoides and Sargassumhorneri), and its physicochemical and mechanical properties were characterized. In addition, its applicability in the packaging area was studied.

Global Change Biology, Volume 27, Issue 17, Page 3969-3986, September 2021., 2021 Our systematic assessment of previous microplastic research revealed that most studies have been conducted on single species (50%) compared to studies targeting exclusively multi‐species assemblages (36%). The results of single species testing showed that microplastics are rarely lethal for terrestrial organisms, but rather induce sub‐lethal effects ...

Advanced Science, Volume 8, Issue 15, August 4, 2021., 2021 Fibrosis is a serious medical problem that remains unresolved in many cases. However, regenerative organisms have evolved to avoid fibrosis and are capable of scar‐free healing. Herein, the physiological and molecular mechanisms behind fibrosis and regenerative wound healing are reviewed and how this knowledge may be applied to solve issues in human ...

Phylogeny and evolutionary history of the amniote egg
Journal of Morphology, Volume 282, Issue 7, Page 1080-1122, July 2021., 2021 We review morphological features of the amniote egg and embryos in a large comparative phylogenetic framework, including all major clades of extant vertebrates. We discuss 40 characters that are relevant for an analysis of the evolutionary history of the vertebrate egg. Special attention is given to the morphology of the cellular yolk sac, the eggshell,
