Ameliorating Effect of Chloride on Nitrite Toxicity to Freshwater Invertebrates with Different Physiology: a Comparative Study Between Amphipods and Planarians [PDF]
, 2008 High nitrite concentrations in freshwater ecosystems may cause toxicity to aquatic animals. These living organisms can take nitrite up from water through their chloride cells, subsequently suffering oxidation of their respiratory pigments (hemoglobin ...

Could natural selection change the geographic range limits of light brown apple moth (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) in North America? [PDF]
, 2013 We artificially selected for increased freeze tolerance in the invasive light brown apple moth. Our results suggest that, by not accounting for adaptation to cold, current models of potential geographic distributions could underestimate the areas at risk

The Effect of Repeated Low Temperature on Eggs of the Alfalfa Weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) [PDF]
, 2017 Three ages of alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal) eggs were exposed to repeated exposures of -15 and -20°C. Fresh-laid eggs were quite susceptible and 3- and 5day old eggs were relatively resistant to -15\u27C, but all ages of eggs showed ...

Characterisation of the ERF102 to ERF105 genes of Arabidopsis thaliana and their role in the response to cold stress [PDF]
, 2020 The ETHYLENE RESPONSE FACTOR (ERF) genes of Arabidopsis thaliana form a large family encoding plant-specific transcription factors. Here, we characterise the four phylogenetically closely related ERF102/ERF5, ERF103/ERF6, ERF104 and ERF105 genes ...

Divergent thermal specialisation of two South African entomopathogenic nematodes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Thermal physiology of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPN) is a critical aspect of field performance and fitness. Thermal limits for survival and activity, and the ability of these limits to adjust (i.e., show phenotypic flexibility) depending on recent ...

Changing of the flower bud frost hardiness in three Hungarian apricot cultivars
Horticultural Science, 2016 Hungary lies near the northern border of the apricot growing area, so frost hardiness is a decisive factor for the reliability of production. Both the development and loss of frost hardiness take place gradually in the overwintering organs, depending on ...
