Claw growth rates in a subset of adult, indoor, domestic cats (Felis catus). [PDF]
Background – Keratinised tissues, such as nails and claws, accumulate hormones over time; the claws' hormone concentrations are being explored as potential biomarkers. Timelines for hormone deposition can be established if claw growth rates are known. Hormone concentration within cat claws has been recently evaluated, yet the growth rates of cat claws ...

Invertebrate shell polymorphisms are widespread. We studied the maintenance of the polymorphism of shell bands in two species of littorinids. We found evidence of negative frequency‐dependent natural selection maintaining these polymorphisms in time. Abstract The presence of shell bands is common in gastropods.

Abstract The inbreeding coefficient (F) of individuals can be estimated from molecular marker data, such as SNPs, using measures of homozygosity of individual markers or runs of homozygosity (ROH) across the genome. These different measures of F can then be used to estimate the rate of inbreeding depression (ID) for quantitative traits.

Chemotherapeutic and Safety Profile of a Fraction from Mimosa caesalpiniifolia Stem Bark
Mimosa caesalpiniifolia (Fabaceae) is used by Brazilian people to treat hypertension, bronchitis, and skin infections. Herein, we evaluated the antiproliferative action of the dichloromethane fraction from M. caesalpiniifolia (DFMC) stem bark on murine tumor cells and the in vivo toxicogenetic profile.

Improving University Students' Learning of Programming Using Customised Pseudocode
ABSTRACT Pseudocode is a well‐known tool for introducing students to the basics of programming. The aim of pseudocode is to make algorithmic constructs easy to write and to understand. In this study, we propose the design of a ‘natural’ pseudocode, with keywords frequently used in the mother tongue, referring to basic computational instructions and ...

Ocean Warming Effects on Catch and Revenue Composition in the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea
Climate change‐driven ocean warming is affecting marine fisheries in the Northwestern Mediterranean, with implications for both fishing catch and revenue composition. Analyzing 23 years of commercial landings, warmer‐water species have become more abundant and contributed more to fishing revenues, while colder‐water species have declined and ...

Raman Spectroscopy Against Harmful Nitrogen‐Based Compounds in Cultural Heritage Materials
A comprehensive review of the use of Raman spectroscopy to detect nitrogen‐based compounds harmful to cultural heritage. ABSTRACT Nitrogen‐based compounds are widespread in the environment due to various sources of natural and anthropogenic origin that introduce them from the most reducing form (the acidic ammonium cation) to the most oxidized (the ...

Abstract This article focuses on alternative ways of understanding language in the context of minority language advocacy through an examination of the Galician tradition of singing‐in‐verse, known as regueifa. It proposes the notion of “linguistic collective action” to refer to the battery of resistance and solidarity strategies that lead to social ...

Cryptic Diversity of Mediterranean Neogoniolithon (Corallinales, Corallinophycidae, Rhodophyta)
ABSTRACT Neogoniolithon is a widespread genus of non‐geniculate coralline algae in the Mediterranean Sea. Three vaguely differentiated species have been reported in the region. This study examined the diversity of Neogoniolithon in the Mediterranean by inferring phylogenies using psbA and COI‐5P markers, applying delimitation algorithms and comparing ...
