Evidence of two mechanisms involved in Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis decreased toxicity against mosquito larvae: Genome dynamic and toxins stability
(
Elsevier GmbH
, 2015 , Article)
Biopesticides based on Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis are the most used and most successful around the world. This bacterium is characterized by a dynamic genome able to win or lose genetic materials which leads to a ...
Born small, die young: Intrinsic, size-selective mortality in marine larval fish
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Mortality during the early stages is a major cause of the natural variations in the size and recruitment strength of marine fish populations. In this study, the relation between the size-at-hatch and early survival was ...
Foraging and habitat use of eastern cottontails (Sylvilagus floridanus) in an urban landscape
(
Springer Nature
, 2015 , Article)
Urban landscapes such as college campuses, arboretums, and backyards provide excellent habitats for education and research into animal behavior. We investigated aspects of the foraging activity of free-ranging Eastern ...
Foraging and habitat use of common duikers, Sylvicapra grimmia, in a heterogeneous environment within the Soutpansberg, South Africa
(
Wiley-Blackwell
, 2015 , Article)
We investigated aspects of the foraging behaviour and activity patterns of free-ranging common duikers (Sylvicapra grimmia) within the Soutpansberg, South Africa. We used giving-up densities (GUD) and camera traps to test ...
Impacts of urbanization on the distribution of heavy metals in soils along the Huangpu River, the drinking water source for Shanghai
(
Springer Berlin Heidelberg
, 2015 , Article)
We investigated the horizontal and vertical distribution of heavy metals (Hg, Pb, Zn, Cu, Cd, As, Ni, and Cr) in soils in the water source protection zone for Shanghai to study the origins of these metals, their connections ...
Rhus coriaria induces senescence and autophagic cell death in breast cancer cells through a mechanism involving p38 and ERK1/2 activation
(
Nature Publishing Group
, 2015 , Article)
Here, we investigated the anticancer effect of Rhus coriaria on three breast cancer cell lines. We demonstrated that Rhus coriaria ethanolic extract (RCE) inhibits the proliferation of these cell lines in a time- and ...
The status of harmful algae in the Arabian Gulf
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
In the ocean, microscopic plankton algae constitute a crucial food supply for filter- feeding bivalves, shellfish (oyster, mussels, scallop and clams), as well as larvae of commercially important crustaceans and finfish. ...
Identification of phenolic compounds by HPLC/MS and in vitro evaluation of the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of Ceratonia siliqua leaves extracts
(
Academic Jounals
, 2015 , Article)
Ceratonia siliqua is a typical plant of the Mediterranean area, which is mainly used as animal and human food and in folk medicine for treating some diseases such as antidiarrheal and diuretic. The present study was planned ...

(
International Mycological Association
, 2015 , Article)
The genomes of Chrysoporthe austroafricana, Diplodia scrobiculata, Fusarium nygami, Leptographium lundbergii, Limonomyces culmigenus, Stagonosporopsis tanaceti, and Thielaviopsis punctulata are presented in this genome ...
Assessing uncertainty in sighting records: An example of the Barbary lion
(
PeerJ
, 2015 , Article)
As species become rare and approach extinction, purported sightings can be controversial, especially when scarce management resources are at stake.We consider the probability that each individual sighting of a series is ...
