题目The fruit bat (果蝠),also known as the "flying fox (狐狸),""got its name because it has large eyes and looks like a fox.There are many kinds of fruit bats and they are different in size from one place to the next.For example,some fruit bats are no more than...
What makes a fungus different from a plant or an animal? What makes them different from the various protists? How has the biology of plants relate to that of human beings? Identify and describe three adaptations that animals have that plants do not have. What are some adaptations...
The platypus is one of the fewvenomous mammals: it has spurs on its ankles which can deliver a painful sting. This surprising animal has another trick up its sleeve: it can hunt using electroreception. This means it can pick up minute electrical signals given off by the muscles of its pre...
The Phyllostominae subfamily (gleaning animalivores) was habitat selective and disappeared from areas experiencing constant disturbances. On the other hand, Stenodermatinae frugivorous bats often used and foraged in altered areas. We suggest that secondary vegetations in more‐advanced successional ...
Flowering plants are unusual among seed plants in their superlative exploitation of animals (primarily insects) as agents of outcross pollination. The outcross pollination efficiency of insects, birds, and mammals (primarily bats) may have contributed to both the abundance and diversity of flowering ...
Virtually, all animals harbor a diverse gut microflora that greatly influences host health and diseases [1,2]. Within the animal kingdom, the phylum Mollusca is the second largest, with gastropods being the most diverse class, comprising over 75,000 snail species worldwide. Gastropods, such as...
Animal diversity stems mainly from specialization. Many animals specialize on the different resources provided by the great variety of plants and complex forest structure. For example, different plant species are food for different insect species, and flowers and fruit of many types support various kin...
evolved as one of the dominant forms of direct communication between individuals.2,3,4These vocal signals are usually produced within noisy environments; therefore, several mechanisms have evolved to compensate for masking acoustic interference, such as heavy rain, wind, and animal or urban sounds.5...
Both cell culture systems and animal models often suffer from complex phenotypes that are negatively impacted by heterogeneous genetic backgrounds and phenotypes that vary in strength, penetrance, and onset. These attributes make it difficult to clearly define the activities of related compounds and are...
摘要: The variation in airborne ARGs was assessed in different livestock farms.The mobility of airborne ARGs in different livestock farms was compared.The correlation of microorganisms between livestock farms and other global environments was investigated....
