Evaluating the Air Respiratory Capacity of Awaous (Chonophorus) tajasica (Gobiiformes: Oxudercidae): A Morpho‐Functional Study

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
We demonstrated that Awaous tajasica performs facultative air breathing under experimental conditions of dissolved oxygen limitation, retaining air bubbles in the buccal cavity during gill ventilation. Morpho‐functional evidence indicates the use of atmospheric oxygen as a respiratory support under conditions of low water oxygenation.

Brown bear litter sizes in Croatia

, 1999
Based on 116 observations of 105 brown bear (Ursus arctos) family groups of sows with cubs in the bear range in Croatia we calculated the mean litter sizes and the maximum survival rate. In addition to the number of cubs, each record contained information on the sighting date, age of cubs (cubs of the year or yearlings), and location (bear feeding ...

Probiotic consumption reduces alveolar bone loss and kidney damage in pregnant rats with experimental periodontitis

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019 (B. lactis HN019) is a probiotic bacterial strain with immunomodulatory properties. Its benefits have been observed in healthy and systemically compromised animals with periodontitis (PD). Our objective was to investigate the local and systemic effects of the systemic administration of B.

Periodontitis during pregnancy: The effect on the gut microbiome and intestinal inflammation

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Periodontitis has been epidemiologically associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, but causality remains difficult to establish in humans due to confounding factors. This study uses a controlled murine model to examine the effects of experimentally induced periodontitis on the composition of the gut microbiota and gastrointestinal

Perennial Legumes Pueraria phaseoloides and Leucaena leucocephala Exhibit High Potential for Fertility Restoration of Degraded Mined Soils in Ghana

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
Revegetating the subsoil layer of abandoned gold mined sites with the perennial legumes Leucaena Leucocephala, Pueraria phaseoloides and Gliricidia sepium without any soil amendments increases the content of soil organic carbon and important macro‐nutrients, which are crucial for restoring soil health and productivity. These improvements in soil health

Effects of Biochar and Maize Roots on CO2 Emissions and Microbial Biomass C in Loess Soils

Journal of Plant Nutrition and Soil Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Refractory substances such as biochar and labile substances such as dead fine and coarse roots play important roles in soil organic matter dynamics and have key ecological functions. However, interactions between these substances have only rarely been studied.
