Influence of environment and mineralogy on euendolithic microboring patterns
The Depositional Record, EarlyView.Field experiments at Little Ambergris Cay reveal that euendolithic microorganisms preferentially bore carbonate substrates based on mineralogy, sea water saturation and trace metal content. Results highlight night‐time dissolution activity and mineralogical preferences, shedding light on the ecological and evolutionary drivers of bioerosion and their ...

Patterns and drivers of biotic disturbance hotspots in western United States coniferous forests
Ecography, EarlyView.Globally, forest disturbances caused by herbivorous insects and plant pathogens (i.e. biotic disturbances) have increased since the 1990s, a trend linked in part to climate warming. With increases in biotic disturbance activity, an emerging ecological phenomenon has been documented: biotic disturbance ‘hotspots', or areas where two or more biotic ...

The effect of traditional handling, processing and storage methods on the quality of dried fish in small scale fisheries in Nigeria [PDF]
, 1999 Most of the fish marketed throughout Nigeria are in either smoked or dried form. The technological requirement for other forms of preservation like chilling and freezing cannot be afforded by the small scale fisher folk.

Ecography, EarlyView.Pelagic‐feeding seabirds deliver nutrient subsidies that enhance the productivity, biodiversity, and resilience of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, particularly in nutrient‐poor tropical environments. However, the biogeophysical variables governing the fluxes of these nutrients within and among interconnected ecosystems remain poorly understood.

Effectiveness of clays and copper products in the control of Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) [PDF]
, 2006 Repellent and antiovipositional products in the control of Bactrocera oleae (Gmelin) find a great interest in organic farming, because of the lack of effective products able to kill the olive fruit fly larvae and eggs.

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.Abstract Aims Intravenous iron has emerged as a guideline‐recommended therapy in patients with heart failure and iron deficiency, but the potential sex‐related differences in efficacy are unknown. We aimed to assess sex‐specific outcomes in the Intravenous Iron in Patients with Systolic Heart Failure and Iron Deficiency to Improve Morbidity & Mortality

Cockroach Allergy and Asthma in a 30-Year-Old Man [PDF]
, 1999 A growing body of evidence has implicated allergens derived from cockroaches as an important environmental factor that may aggravate asthma in sensitized persons. We present the case of a 30-year-old man with asthma and a cockroach allergy.

From waste to resource: Garlic peel‐derived proteases (Allium sativum) for nematode control
Environmental Progress &Sustainable Energy, EarlyView.Abstract This study aimed to prepare a protease‐rich extract from garlic peel (Allium sativum) and evaluate its nematicidal potential. The garlic peel was crushed, suspended in distilled water, and the obtained extract was subjected to filtration, centrifugation, and dialysis to concentrate the proteases. The nematicidal activity was tested in vitro on
