Exposure of sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) to cadmium sulfide nanoparticles: Biological effects and the importance of experimental design

Sequencing the genome of threespine sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus)

Effects of experimental Schistocephalus solidus infections on growth, morphology and sexual development of female three-spined sticklebacks, Gasterosteus aculeatus.

The use of naturally infected hosts in studies attempting to identify parasite-induced changes in host biology is problematical because it does not eliminate the possibility that infection may be a consequence, rather than a cause, of host trait variation. In addition, uncontrolled concomitant infections may confound results. In this study we experimentally infected individual laboratory-bred f...

the differential effects of debate and media analysis as relate to enhancing efl learners critical thinking ability and writing performances

critical thinking ability has an important role in education. accordingly, scholars around the world are searching for new ways for teaching and improving students critical thinking ability. in line with the studies in efl contexts supporting the positive relationship between critical thinking and writing performances, this study investigated the differential effects of halverson’s critical thi...

Rapid bioconcentration of steroids in the plasma of 2 sticklebacks ( Gasterosteus aculeatus ) exposed to water -

23 This study investigated the relationship over time between the concentrations 24 of two steroids, singly and in combination, in a static exposure system and in the 25 blood of sticklebacks, Gasterosteus aculeatus, held within the exposure system. 26 Groups of sticklebacks were exposed (nominally) to either 1000 ng l 17ß-estradiol 27 (E2), Testosterone (T) or E2 & T in combination at the same...

the effects of planning on accuracy and complexity of iranian efl students’ written narrative task performance

this study compared the different effects of form-focused guided planning vs. meaning-focused guided planning on iranian pre-intermediate students’ task performance. the study lasted for three weeks and concentrated on eight english structures. forty five pre-intermediate iranian students were randomly assigned to three groups of guided planning focus-on-form group (gpfg), guided planning focus...
