Abstract:
... A major task of biodiversity researchers is speciation and understanding the processes of divergence. This type of research can provide a clear understanding of the mechanisms that produce biodiversity. We analyzed the 16S rRNA gene data by utilizing multivariate statistics for analyses of microbial community structures. The 16S rRNA gene is the most widely applied genetic marker to study microbia ...

... Dietary free fatty acids induce preadipocyte differentiation in the presence of a hormonal cocktail in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. Plant polyphenols are curb adipocyte differentiation and protect from metabolic stress. In the present study, we examined the effects of the saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid (PA) in presence of flavonoids, chrysin (CR) and hesperidin (HD) and phenolic acid, syringic acid (SY ...

The observation of hybridisation between two of these species challenges this species delimitation. The mechanisms of reproductive isolation essential to the maintenance of species integrity remain unclear. Here, we conducted upscaled hybridisation experiments to obtain large numbers of ...

However, studies thus far have mainly explored the interactions between macrophyte responses and BLA through field investigations; this means that knowledge of such responses to various underwater light conditio ...

Nutrient foraging ability differs between species and between genotypes within species, can increase plant performance when nutrients are patchy, and may lead to differences in competitive ability and have community-level effects. Effects of intraspecific variation in nutrient f ...

Habitat selection behaviour is an effective strategy adopted by clonal plants in heterogeneous understorey light environments, and it is likely regulated by the parental environment's ultraviolet-B radiation levels (UV-B) due to the photomorphogenesis of UV-B and maternal effects. Here, parental ramets of Duchesnea indica were treated with two UV-B radiation levels [high (UV5 group) and low (UV10 ...

Eutrophication is believed to promote plant invasion, resulting in high growth performances of invasive plants and, therefore, the great potential for growth‐induced intraspecific competition for light. Current hypotheses predict how eutrophication promotes plant invasion but fail to explain how great invasiveness is maintained under eutrophic conditions. In diverse native communities, co‐occurrin ...
