Monstrilloid copepods were collected during zooplankton surveys in reef and coastal areas of Australia. Representatives of all four genera of the Monstrilloida (Monstrilla Dana, Monstrillopsis Sars, Cymbasoma Thompson, and Maemonstrilla Grygier & Ohtsuka) were recorded. In this contribution a taxonomic analysis of specimens belonging to the latter two genera is provided, and a new genus describ...

Although, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been reported to be associated with heat tolerance at the seedling stage in rice, their involvement in heat tolerance at the flowering stage is still unknown. In this study, small RNA profiling was conducted in a heat-tolerant variety Gan-Xiang-Nuo (GXN) and a heat-sensitive variety Hua-Jing-Xian-74 (HJX), respectively. Totally, 102 miRNAs were differentially e...

from Chinese natural medicines, we have characterized the structures of aliphatic alcohol and monoterpene oligoglycosides and cyanogenic glycosides from the roots of Rhodiola (R) quadrifida, R. sacra, and R. crenulata. Among the isolated compounds, several monoterpene oligoglycosides were found to show histamine release from rat exudate cells induced by an antigen–antibody reaction. Furthermore...

When deciding whether to translocate a species, it is important know likely benefits and risks. Thus, Novak et al.'s (2021) analysis of past species translocations assess their successes unintended consequences welcome. However, conclusion that “The widespread paucity negative impacts stemming from conservation are signal regulators, decision-makers, stakeholders conservationists can be entrust...

Under the light and electron microscopes, the structure of the cell walls of members of the 11 orders in the Class Chlorophyceae, Division Chlorophyta, were examined. With regard to the microfibrillar component of the cell walls, five types of wall structure were distinguished: (A) an apparent lack of a micro fibrillar component (Volvocales, Dasycladales, and some members of the Siphonales), (B...

-The antibody responses of female Microtus pennsylvanicus inoculated with a series of antigens not normally encountered under field conditions were examined, and the kinetics of maternally acquired antibody loss in their offspring were determined. The initial antibody response in adults was rapid, peaking in 4-9 weeks, and long-lasting, with a half life of 4-5 months. Antibody levels in females...
