nov. on the basis of abundant material that provides information on its morphological variation. The referral of the new species to the genus Chersina is supported by phylogenetic analysis which includes the Malagasy ploughshare tortoise, sharing the presence of a single gular shield covering a very...
South Africa is currently home to a highly diverse tortoise assemblage whose evolutionary history has been investigated mostly as a result of molecular studies. The fossil record is of little help because the remains of extant taxa are relatively recent, and only three extinct species, of uncertain...
. Phytoremediation and revitalization of contaminated sites have been achieved by selecting native plant species that are best adapted to environmental stresses, such as drought, high/low temperatures, insolation/salinization, and contamination (Pandey et al., 2015a,b, 2016a,b;Gajić et al., ...
One of the Frequently Asked Questions I received in email from Sitchin fans is in regards to where they can learn more about Cuneiform writing, including where they can learn to read it for themselves and where tablets can be accessed. The other related question is about where did Zecharia Si...
Determining the phylogenetic origin of mitochondria is key to understanding the ancestral mitochondrial symbiosis and its role in eukaryogenesis. However, the precise evolutionary relationship between mitochondria and their closest bacterial relatives remains hotly debated. The reasons include pervasive phylogene...
Yes he covers climate change, but from a more neutral, scientific perspective without the politics and social garbage. The book is a bear to read, but worthwhile. I'd suggest taking some biology and chemistry classes first. This is a college level textbook. ...

32. Most antibodies neutralize coronavirus infection by binding to the receptor-binding subdomain of S1 and blocking receptor interactions. These antibodies are highly species specific and often strain specific due to a high sequence diversity in the receptor-binding sites among coronaviruses, even for...
This paper aims at contributing to a better understanding of the beginnings of tin and bronze metallurgy in Central Asia by investigating a hitherto unique piece of a bronze slag. The object was originally discovered as a stray find only 4 km away from the large copper-tin deposit of Mušis...
