Social relationships define an individual's position in its social network, which can influence the acquisition and spread of information and behavioural variants through the population. Thus, when nuisance behaviours spread through wildlife populations, identifying central individuals may provide valuable ...
Abstract The objective of this study was to chemically characterize both channel and hybrid catfish parts including heads, frames, viscera, skin, and fillet trimming mince. Triplicate samples of channel and hybrid catfish byproduct parts were obtained from a large commercial catfish processor and analyzed ...
ABSTRACT Chromosomal copy number variation (CCNV) plays a key role in evolution and health of eukaryotes. The unicellular yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an important model for studying the generation, physiological impact, and evolutionary significance of CCNV. Fundamental studies of this yeast ...
Sequencing environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly being used as an alternative to traditional morphological-based identification to characterize biological assemblages and monitor anthropogenic impacts in marine environments. Most studies only assess eDNA which, compared to eRNA, can persist longer ...
Most of our knowledge regarding the biodiversity of gut microbes comes from terrestrial organisms or marine species of economic value, with less emphasis on ecologically important species. Here we investigate the bacterial composition associated with the gut of Siganus fuscescens, a rabbitfish that ...
Background Due to the great advantages in selection accuracy and efficiency, genomic selection (GS) has been widely studied in livestock, crop and aquatic animals. Our previous study based on one full-sib family of Litopenaeus vannamei (L. vannamei) showed that GS was feasible in penaeid shrimp. However, ...
Shrimp of the family Alvinocarididae are the predominant megafauna of deep-sea hydrothermal vents. However, genome information on this family is currently unavailable. In the present study, by employing Illumina sequencing, we performed the first de novo transcriptome analysis of the gills of the shrimp ...
The benthic life stage (polyp or scyphistoma) of the bloom-forming jellyfish, Aurelia aurita (Linnaeus, 1759), also known as the moon jellyfish, contributes to the seasonal occurrence and abundance of medusa blooms via asexual reproduction. A. aurita is widely distributed in coastal areas in northern ...
New and rapid political and economic changes in Myanmar are increasing the pressures on the country’s forests. Yet, little is known about the past and current condition of these forests and how fast they are declining. We mapped forest cover in Myanmar through a consortium of international organizations ...
Reactive oxygen species and other radicals potentially cause oxidative damage to proteins, lipids, and DNA which may ultimately lead to various complications including mutations, carcinogenesis, neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease, aging, and inflammatory disease. Recent reports demonstrate that ...
Nowadays, the common octopus (Octopus vulgaris) culture is hampered by massive mortalities occurring during early life-cycle stages (paralarvae). Despite the causes of the high paralarvae mortality are not yet well-defined and understood, the nutritional stress caused by inadequate diets is pointed ...
The present invention refers to a strain of Lactobacillus curvatusbacteria deposited in the Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen and Zellkulturen GmBH (DSMZ) under the accession number DSM 18775, as well as to compositions, cultures and food products comprising thereof. The strain of the invention ...
A facility (10) for thawing or tempering frozen food products, comprising: A chamber (12) for receiving the products to be thawed or tempered, a fan means (60), in particular directed horizontally or vertically, for establishing a forced air flow in the chamber, at a speed greater than or equal to 5 ...
The present invention is directed to a process for the treatment of biological material. Particularly, pieces of biological material are treated with a physical treatment and particularly a cold plasma treatment, optionally followed by another treatment. The terms ""biological material"" are used in ...
The invention relates to a composition comprising an extract of spirulina having at least one non-blue protein and at least one phycocyanine, characterized in that the phycocyanine content is 8 to 50 wt% based on the total protein content.
Systems, methods, and devices for propelling self-propelled movable objects are provided. In one aspect, a rotor assembly for a self-propelled movable object comprises: a hub comprising a first fastening feature; a drive shaft comprising a second fastening feature and directly coupled to the hub by ...
A fishing seat box (1) comprises: a footplate (200), of substantially rectangular shape, comprising attachment means (201) for a first pair of support legs (202, 203) in a first portion of the footplate; and a frame (100) comprising a support base (101) of substantially rectangular shape, comprising ...
A one-way clutch for a fishing reel includes an outer race, an inner race, a first roller, a second roller, and a cam surface. The first roller is disposed between the outer race and the inner race, and is disposed to make contact with the outer race and the inner race. The second roller is disposed ...
The new strain of bacteria Lactobacillus plantarum AMT14 PCM B/00092 as well as composition for production of creams and ointments, parapharmaceutical, pharmaceutical, food preparations/products and food and water additives for humans and animals, consisting of the new strain of bacteria, medium and ...
