Time tells: plasticity and developmental asynchrony underlie trait variation in a dune‐building grass

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Habitat‐modifying plants engineer landscapes through plant‐environment feedbacks. The strength of these feedbacks is determined by above‐ and below‐ground traits shaping landscape morphology. Besides interspecific differences, recent findings highlight that intraspecific trait variation, such as shoot density, can also influence landscape morphology ...

Association Study Analysis of Cluster-of-Differentiation Antigen 9 (CD9) Gene Polymorphism (g.358A>T) for Duroc Boar Post-thawed Semen Motility and Kinematic Characteristics

open access: yesJournal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2015
Cryopreservation of boar semen is continually researched in reproductive technologies and genetic resource banking in breed conservation. For evaluating the boar semen quality, sperm motility (MOT) is an important parameter because the movement of ...

On the Persistence of Homogeneous Matter [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Some recent philosophical debate about persistence has focussed on an argument against perdurantism that discusses rotating perfectly homogeneous discs (the `rotating discs argument'; RDA). The argument has been mostly discussed by metaphysicians, though

Anisotropic community turn‐over at habitat edges informs on assembly drivers: simulation and empirical test on soil macrofauna

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes is the result of a complex interplay between movement processes of organisms within and between habitat patches, and niche filtering processes due to spatially varying environmental conditions. Disentangling the relative influences of these different processes on community assembly and dynamics is a ...

Tyrosinase inhibitory components from Aloe vera and their antiviral activity

open access: yesJournal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2017
A new compound, 9-dihydroxyl-2'-O-(Z)-cinnamoyl-7-methoxy-aloesin (1), and eight known compounds (2–9) were isolated from Aloe vera. Their structures were elucidated using 1D/2D nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectra. Compound 9 exhibited reversible

The importance of wild meat and freshwater fish for children's nutritional intake in the Congo Basin

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Wild meat and freshwater fish are widely consumed in the Congo Basin, but in some areas, they are at risk of disappearing due to unsustainable hunting and fishing and changes in their habitat. Wild meat is also at risk of being eliminated from local diets due to potential policy changes such as wild meat bans.

Evaluation of genetic diversity and population structure of wheat core collection using SNP and KASP markers for major agronomic traits

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology
Background Wheat is one of the most important food crops worldwide. Numerous studies have shown that genetic diversity lost the process of wheat breeding because of the pursuit of earlier heading date and higher yield.

Efficacy of a Cue-Mate Intravaginal Insert and Injection of Prostaglandin F2α for Synchronizing Estrus in Hanwoo Cattle

open access: yesJournal of Animal Reproduction and Biotechnology, 2014
The present study was performed on farm animals to test the effectiveness of progesterone-releasing intravaginal device (Cue-Mate® 1.56 g) and injection of prostaglandin F2α (PGF2α) for synchronization estrus in Hanwoo cattle.

Reversible Nanocomposites With Carbon Nanotubes as the Diene in the Diels–Alder Reaction

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Scheme of the reversible nanocomposites through DA and rDA reactions with participation of carbon nanotubes. ABSTRACT Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) often require surface functionalization to facilitate uniform distribution and address issues related to aggregation. Due to the sp2 hybridized carbon atoms on their surface, CNTs readily participate in the Diels–
