Preliminary results on the pollen feeding of remarkable syrphid species from the Iberian Peninsula, and new data on their chorology (Diptera, Syrphidae)The genus Tropidia Meigen, 1822 is reported for the first time in the South_West...

The remarkable success of this invasion is due in great part to prolific reproduction: a mature tree can bear up to 220 inflorescences with an average of 1330 flowers/inflorescence, 208 fruits/infructescence and 195 seeds/fruit. Two and a half years of phenological observations in a highly ...
In plants, tandem, segmental and whole-genome duplications are prevalent, resulting in large numbers of duplicate loci. Recent studies suggest that duplicate genes diverge predominantly through the partitioning of expression and that breadth of gene expr
Cyprinidae, the largest fish family, encompasses approximately 367 genera and 3006 species. While they exhibit remarkable adaptability to diverse aquatic environments, it is exceptionally rare to find them in seawater, with the Far Eastern daces being of few exceptions. Therefore, the Far Eastern dac...

Research on hummingbirds (also known as nectar birds or Colibris), the smallest of the 9,800 bird species living today, has revealed remarkable fac... Everything About Pi 21 October 2019 | Ali Kaya | Issue 131 (Sep - Oct 2019) It was finally the weekend! After my long mathematics ...
The Early–Middle Triassic results, however, indicate remarkable differences between each area in paleo-LST variance through time (Fig. 4g). Paleosols of likely Induan age from Graphite Peak and the Allan Hills display an overwhelming decrease in organic carbon content and a more limited variation...
The hallmark of eusociality is the reproductive division of labour, in which one female caste reproduces, while reproduction is constrained in the subordinate caste. In adult worker honeybees (Apis mellifera) reproductive constraint is conditional: in th
Contig assembly and analysis revealed a minimum of 24 expressed loci across the seven MST subfamilies (Figure 7). Details regarding the EST records, BLASTX results, and contigs are contained in Additional file 16. The remarkable feature of the Lycopersicon EST database search is the low number...
