SOCIAL STRUCTURE, HABITAT USE AND INJURIES OF INDO-PACIFIC BOTTLENOSE DOLPHINS (TURSIOPS ADUNCUS) REVEAL ISOLATED, COASTAL, AND THREATENED COMMUNITIES IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC

Social Structure, Habitat Use and Injuries of Indo-Pacific Bottlenose Dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) Reveal Isolated, Coastal, and Threatened Communities in the South Pacific

Understanding population structure and habitat use of poorly known cetacean species is a first step toward scientifically informed management decisions.In the southern range of New Caledonia (South Pacific), a long-term dataset of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops aduncus) encounters primarily during winter seasons 1997 to 2019 (473 group

Meiosis drives extraordinary genome plasticity in the haploid fungal plant pathogen Mycosphaerella graminicola.

Meiosis in the haploid plant-pathogenic fungus Mycosphaerella graminicola results in eight ascospores due to a mitotic division following the two meiotic divisions.The transient diploid phase allows for recombination among homologous chromosomes.However, some chromosomes of M.graminicola lack homologs and do not pair during meiosis.Because these ch

Mathematical modelling of bridge crane dynamics for the time of non-stationary regimes of working hoist mechanism

Bridge crane is exposed to dynamic loads during its non-stationary operations (acceleration and braking).Analyzing these operations, one can determine unknown impacts on the dynamic behavior of bridge crane.These impacts are taken into consideration using selected coefficients inside the dynamic model.Dynamic modelling of a bridge crane in vertical

Fire and the Cross

This article explores two fragments of medieval Arabic poetry, written in Hebrew characters, from the Cairo Genizah, one with a lament for the loss of Jerusalem and the old taylor whiskey 1933 price other a promise of redemption, return and revenge.Within both poems are explicit polemics against Christians, as usurpers and conquerors, suggesting a

C. elegans orphan nuclear receptor NHR-42 represses innate immunity and promotes lipid loss downstream of HLH-30/TFEB

In recent years, transcription factors of the Microphthalmia-TFE (MiT) family, including TFEB and TFE3 in mammals and HLH-30 in Caenorhabditis elegans, have emerged as important regulators of innate immunity and inflammation in invertebrates and vertebrates.Despite great strides in knowledge, the mechanisms that mediate downstream actions of replic
