Generating ecological production functions, including harvest yield functions, is a high priority research area. Most yield functions used in economics and ecology rely on convexity properties of species growth functions, but convexity is shown here to depend on whether realistic biology is incorporated....

Brain tissue is metabolically expensive. Consequently, the evolution of humans’ large brains must have occurred via concomitant shifts in energy expenditure and intake. Proposed mechanisms include dietary shifts such as cooking. Importantly, though, any
the concentration of any substances in the media, both intended (e.g., fetal bovine serum) and unintended (e.g., cell-secreted growth factors, and histamine) can accumulate, leading to high concentrations
ES has clear potential to act as an inexpensive29 early warning system in the surveillance of SARS-CoV-2 and potentially other outbreaks in LICs with limited community surveillance but many factors need further consideration. The continuous shed of SARS-CoV-2 in Malawi may also be due, in par...

On the ecological level, the genome will forge new frontiers for thrips genetics and epigenetics studies, genome-wide analyses of biotic and abiotic stress encountered by this pest in diverse environments, a deeper understanding of this insect’s ability to rapidly build pesticide resistance, and ...
We examined the influence of farm site and sex on growth rates for each python species in our non-intensive growth trials (separately) using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with sex and site (and their interaction) as factors, and growth rate over 12 months as the dependent ...
“green” due to the ecological method of their production [179,180]. Quercetin exhibits biostatic properties and the activity of these properties depends on the type of bacteria. It is a strong agent that inhibits Gram-positive bacteria, however, its activity against Gram-negative bacteria is ...
