Will legal international rhino horn trade save wild rhino populations?
(Elsevier, 2020)
Wild vertebrate populations all over the globe are in decline, with poaching being the second-most-important cause. The high poaching rate of rhinoceros may drive these species into extinction within the coming decades. ...
Willow (Salix spp.) bark hot water extracts inhibit both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses : study on its anti-coronavirus and anti-enterovirus activities
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Introduction: Recurring viral outbreaks have a significant negative impact on society. This creates a need to develop novel strategies to complement the existing antiviral approaches. There is a need for safe and sustainable ...
Wing morphometrics as a possible tool for the diagnosis of the Ceratitis fasciventris, C. anonae, C. rosa complex (Diptera, Tephritidae)
(Pensoft Publishers, 2015)
Previous attempts to resolve the Ceratitis FAR complex (C. fasciventris, C. anonae, C. rosa, Diptera, Tephritidae)
showed contrasting results and revealed the occurrence of five microsatellite genotypic clusters (A,
F1, ...
Winter, the forgotten season
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2024)
Within-host evolution decreases virulence in an opportunistic bacterial pathogen
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2015)
Background: Pathogens evolve in a close antagonistic relationship with their hosts. The conventional theory
proposes that evolution of virulence is highly dependent on the efficiency of direct host-to-host transmission. ...
Within-host interactions shape virulence-related traits of trematode genotypes
(Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd., 2019)
Within‐host interactions between co‐infecting parasites can significantly influence the evolution of key parasite traits, such as virulence (pathogenicity of infection). The type of interaction is expected to predict the ...
Women Scientists Who Made Nuclear Astrophysics
(Springer, 2019)
Female role models reduce the impact on women of stereotype threat, i.e., of being at risk of conforming to a negative stereotype about one’s social, gender, or racial group (Fine in Delusion of Gender. W.W. Norton & Co., ...
Wood-based superblack
(Nature Publishing Group, 2023)
Light is a powerful and sustainable resource, but it can be detrimental to the performance and longevity of optical devices. Materials with near-zero light reflectance, i.e. superblack materials, are sought to improve the ...
Wood-decaying fungi in old-growth boreal forest fragments : extinctions and colonizations over 20 years
(Suomen metsätieteellinen seura, 2021)
According to ecology theory, isolated habitat fragments cannot maintain populations of specialized species. Yet, empirical evidence based on monitoring of the same fragments over time is still limited. We studied the ...
Wood-inhabiting fungal communities : Opportunities for integration of empirical and theoretical community ecology
(Elsevier, 2022)
The interest in studying wood-inhabiting fungal communities has grown in recent years. This interest has mainly been motivated by the important roles of wood-inhabiting fungi in ecosystem functioning (e.g. nutrient cycling) ...
