Detailed information about the location and extent of zooplankton patches is fundamental to understand how abiotic and biotic forces interact to structure the spatial distribution of zooplankton. We mapped zooplankton patchiness in a Minnesota lake during spring, summer, and autumn with high-frequency (192-kHz) single-beam sonar. Conventional plankton samples of aggregations detected acoustical...

Rapid industrialization has resulted in the release and subsequent accumulation of heavy metals (HMs) various environmental matrices, which poses serious health threats globally. Utilizing native plant species to extract such HMs from soil may be an efficient cost-effective remediation approach. Thus, HM industrial area Al-Qassim province, Saudi Arabia, was investigated this study, phytoremedia...

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE), caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, is a zoonotic disease and has global distribution.

This study aimed compare scolicidal activity hydroalcoholic extract Pulicaria gnaphalodes Alhagi maurorum against protoscoleces vitro. Methods: The P. A. ex...

AbstractThere is considerable interest in identifying new antioxidants from plant materials. Several studies have emphasized the antioxidant activity of species belonging to the Myrtaceae family. However, there are few reports on these species from the Cerrado (Brazilian savanna). In this study, the antioxidant activity and phenolic content of 12 native Myrtaceae species from the Cerrado were e...
