Ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation from the past few decades has been widely studied due to the substantial depletion of the stratospheric ozone (O3) layer, causing morphological, physiological, cytological, and biochemical alterations in plants.As a potent abiotic stress factor, enhanced reactive Drivetrain oxygen species (ROS) generation has been fla
Predation is the primary source of reproductive failure in many avian taxa and nest defence behaviour against predators is hence an important aspect of parental investment.Nest defence is a complex trait that might consistently differ among individuals (personality), while simultaneously vary within individuals (plasticity) according to the reprodu
Underutilized food plants (UFP) offer the opportunity to crop overcome issues that are currently facing sustainable food systems.The scarcity of data on them and the gaps found in the nutrition workforce are challenges that limit their approach.To addresses some of them, a community-based garden project was developed in an undergraduate program in
Abstract Background In utero endocrine disruption is linked to increased risk of breast cancer later in life.Despite numerous studies establishing this linkage, the long-term molecular changes that predispose mammary cells to carcinogenic transformation are unknown.Herein, we investigated how endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) drive changes with
The genome of the cat flea, an ectoparasite of major veterinary importance and the first representative of the Siphonaptera, is Shawl highly unusual among arthropod genomes in showing a variable size and a very large number of gene duplications (Driscoll et al., 2020).The cat flea is the target of several classes of insecticides, justifying the des
