The catalogue of the ground beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) of the Republic of Macedonia is the result of our permanent investigation during 15 years. It is based on the critical review of the data in 255 scientific publications and the revision of the collections deposited in the museums in Macedonia (Skopje and Struga), other European countries (Berlin, Budapest, Vienna, Sofia) and the first ...

Variation in song can play a central role in species and subspecies recognition among birds. The ability of individuals to distinguish between songs of their own versus songs of a different subspecies potentially strengthens local adaptation of subspecific populations. We investigated the degree of vocal divergence and discrimination between two subspecies of Swamp Sparrow (Melospiza georgiana)...

Several lines of CHO cells stably overexpressing protein kinase C (PKC) subspecies to various extents were established by the DNA-mediated transfer. Upon treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, the growth of the cells expressing the PKC-delta subspecies was markedly inhibited, whereas cell lines expressing PKC-alpha, PKC-beta II, and PKC-zeta subspecies were not significantly affected. ...

the distribution of gazella bennetti in iran is reviewed. the species is commonly said to be confined to the southeastern part of the country, but is actually widespread over suitable areas, east of the zagros range and south of the alborz. in the north and west of this range, there is a hitherto undescribed subspecies, which is named and diagnosed for the first time in this paper; its similari...

21 Cattle diverged during the Pleistocene into two subspecies, one in temperate and one in 22 tropical environments. Here we have used next generation sequencing of the indicine 23 subspecies of cattle and compared it to the taurine subspecies. Although 23.8 million 24 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were found, the number of fixed amino acid 25 substitutions between the taurine and indic...

Antibiotics provide the main basis for the therapy of microbial (bacterial and fungal) infections. Since the discovery of these antibiotics and their use as chemotherapeutic agents there was a belief in the medical fraternity that this would lead to the eventual eradication of infectious diseases. However, overuse of antibiotics has become the major factor in the emergence and dissemination of ...

BACKGROUND In the Ethiopian traditional medicine, the aerial part of Ajuga remota Benth is used in the treatment of diarrhea. There are different mechanisms by which Ajuga remota may have antidiarrheal effect. Some of the possible mechanisms are through its anthelmintic and antibacterial activity. The present study aimed to evaluate whether the antidiarrheal effect of the plant also include ant...

Association mapping was performed for 18 agromorphological and grain quality traits in a set of 183 Spanish landraces, including subspecies durum, turgidum and dicoccon, genotyped with 749 DArT (Diversity Array Technology) markers. Large genetic and phenotypic variability was detected, being the level of diversity among the chromosomes and genomes heterogeneous, and sometimes complementary, amo...

Temporal studies that would offer insight into resilience of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) communities in stress prone climates are scarce despite their role tree nutrition and water supply. Our study characterized the vitality, community composition, diversity, function Quercus pubescens Willd. ECM fungi Sub-Mediterranean stress-prone environment for 2 consecutive years (June 2016–May 2018) related in...
