Collembola interact with mycorrhizal fungi in modifying oak morphology, C and N incorporation and transcriptomics

Soil detritivores such as Collembola impact plant growth, tissue nutrient concentration and gene expression.Using a model system with pedunculate oak (Quercus robur) microcuttings that display a typical endogenous rhythmic growth with alternating shoot (SF) and root flushes (RF), we investigated the transcriptomic response of oak with and without m

The contributions of ammonia oxidizing bacteria and archaea to nitrification-dependent N2O emission in alkaline and neutral purple soils

Abstract Nitrification is believed to be one of Jumping Saddle the primary processes of N2O emission in the agroecological system, which is controlled by soil microbes and mainly regulated by soil pH, oxygen content and NH4 + availability.Previous studies have proved that the relative contributions of ammonia oxidizing bacteria (AOB) and archaea (A

Gastrointestinal parasite infestation in the alpine mountain hare (Lepus timidus varronis): Are abiotic environmental factors such as elevation, temperature and precipitation affecting prevalence of parasite species?

Information concerning factors regulating Alpine mountain hare (Lepus timidus varronis) populations such as host-parasite Blood Pressure Monitors interactions is missing as only a few parasitological surveys exist of this subspecies.Parasites are not only dependent on their host but also on suitable environmental conditions for infestation.Abiotic

Prospects of Jugular Venous Pulse Assessment

There is no controversy regarding the current clinical method of examination of waveform of jugular vein pulse.However there are limitations of clinical assessment of central venous pressure by jugular vein pressure measurement from the level of sternal angle.There are variations in the reported distances from sternal angle to right atrium as well
