We analysed 78 re-nesting events of 58 naturally parasitized host females that deserted their nests in response to the common cuckoo (Cuculus canorus) parasitism. The parasitism rate in the replacement nests of these females was 60%. Most of these females built their replacement nests less than ...
HCW of the seven instars showed a mean Brook–Dyar ratio of 1.34 (range: 1.28–1.44) and Crosby ratio of less than 10%; the corresponding figures for HCL were 1.36 (range: 1.23–1.48) and<10%. The correlations between instar number and natural log of HCW and HCL were significant. In...

Indications for PTC and PTCD were in all cases where an easier and less invasive endoscopic procedure was not possible for diagnosis or treatment [32,33], or where endoscopic passing through a stenosis had failed. As a rule, the indication for PTC is mainly therapeutic for the decompression of...
coenophiala is well-studied, less is known about its broader fungal communities. We used next-generation sequencing of the ITS2 region to describe the complete foliar fungal microbiomes in a set of field-grown tall fescue plants over two years, and whether these fungal communities were affected...
