The dynamics of root colonization by individual species within a population have not been adequately explored. Minor or gradual disturbances in agricultural and natural ecosystems may, or may not, lead to marked changes in mycorrhiza formation. Populations of VAM fungi appear to be capable of ...
Senescence is marked by a progressive loss of function at the tissue and cellular levels. Aging is driven by the accumulation of senescent cells at the cellular level. First introduced by Leonard Hayflick and Paul Moorhead in 1961, the concept of “senescence” suggests a correlation between cellu...
Several species of mosquitoes, which are the most frequent carriers of diseases, can cause dengue, chikungunya, malaria, and other illnesses [1]. Among them, malaria is a potentially fatal infectious disease that severely affects vulnerable communities in tropical and subtropical locations, where the...
DNA metabarcoding was used to identify nine mosquito species, all of which were hosts of 12 microsporidian species. The prevalence of microsporidian DNA across all mosquito samples was 34.6%. Microsporidian prevalence in mosquitoes was more frequent during warm months (> 19 °C; humidity < ...
The Arctic marine environment is highly affected by global warming with notable changes in habitat conditions, which have great consequences on migrating species. For example, the timing of their migration can be altered leading to changes in their occurrence in suitable areas, which are critical for...
(OA).2,3,4Due to the gradual loss of internal homeostasis in aging organisms, effective defenses fail to activate in response to internal and external stressors. Senescence, an intricate and interconnected process, manifests universally in biological organisms, regardless of a clear correlation ...
Change points in each basin were detected by using six change point tests. The robustness of changes was analyzed with a bootstrapping procedure. A set of 32 Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) was used to examine characteristics of hydrologic changes in the simulated discharge time series ...
The females of some species of the family Halophilosciidae receive in the course of mating a quantity of sperm considerably redundant with respect to the number of eggs that can be fertilized; this is possible thanks to the peculiar morpho-functional organization that characterizes their genital sys...
while distantly related ones engage in mutually beneficial metabolic exchanges. Furthermore, our findings reveal that species with small genomes, potentially lacking vital metabolic pathways, depend heavily on metabolic partnerships for survival and growth. Our research offers a deeper understanding of ...
instead of one or few single species that have been maintained under and adapted to laboratory conditions, might have increased the possibility of successfully introduce rumen microbes to the rumen. This premise is corroborated by the study of Ishaq et al. [39]. Fewer inoculum-predominant OTUs we...
