The fossil record does not allow for the precise reconstruction of the cortical shape, but much information about the behaviour and ecology of ancestral species can be gathered from skeletal and artifactual rem
wetland soils with a low C: N ratio have been found to favor the growth of methanogenic bacteria, which could ultimately enhance wetland CH4production and emission (refer to Sect. 4.1.1. “microbial properties) (Hu
Building predictive models that link MC composition to function is a key emerging challenge in microbial ecology. Here, we argue that addressing this challenge requires close coordination of experimental data collection and method development with mathematical model building. We discuss specific examples ...
In other words, humankind has triggered many of the increases in ecosystem disservices caused by geese, whereas efforts to reduce costs by other means than population control through harvest have been limited to date. These include, for example, creating refuges and scaring geese into the refuge...
Key sample metadata (such as sampling date, geographic coordinates, sequencing and assembly methods, sequencing results, and whether data were available for public use) were downloaded from IMG/M by selecting the appropriate columns (Table S1). The environment type given to each sample was curated...
Among them, immediate and delayed word recall tests, are used to assess individuals' short-term and long-term memory, whereas serial 7's test, date naming, and picture drawing are designed to assess the respondents' ability to perform mathematical tasks, orientation, and mental intactness. All ...
The mitochondrial genome of the Octocorallia has several characteristics atypical for metazoans, including a novel gene suggested to function in DNA repair. This mtMutS gene is favored for octocoral molecular systematics, due to its high information cont

The human body hosts an enormous abundance and diversity of microbes, which perform a range of essential and beneficial functions. Our appreciation of the importance of these microbial communities to many aspects of human physiology has grown dramaticall
In one embodiment, a service may transform messages requesting functions into method calls; the client may not know that the service is invoking methods to perform the functions.Application Number: 09/672200 Publication Date: 07/08/2008 Filing Date: 09/27/2000 ...
