Abstract:
... PURPOSE: Geology plays an important role in the evolution of a stream and the formation of habitat therein. As geology varies across the landscape, the differential response of various geological types to environmental and anthropogenic factors may cause differences in stream habitat. In this study, we assessed the importance of accounting for geology when evaluating sediment-related, stream habit ...

Abstract:
... We monitored 25 Golden Eagles in Montana, USA, from 2011 to 2015 over 3,601 days using tail-mounted satellite transmitters. Using the best available direct observation and circumstantial evidence, we surmise that only a single eagle (adult female floater) died during monitoring, resulting in a daily survival estimate of 0.9997 (SE = 0.0003) and an annual survival estimate of 0.905 (SE = 0.0907) fo ...

Abstract:
... Traditionally, the root of Pueraria lobata are widely used as a functional food. It was observed that a 70% ethanol extract showed a dose-dependent inhibition towards mushroom tyrosinase. Among the different isolated compounds, calycosin demonstrated potent inhibitory activity against substrates l-tyrosine and l-DOPA, with IC50 of 1.45 ± 0.03 and 7.02 ± 0.46 µM, respectively. Conversely, formonone ...

Abstract:
... Invasibility is a key indicator of community susceptibility to changes in structure and function. The fluctuating resource hypothesis (FRH) postulates that invasibility is an emergent community property, a manifestation of multiple processes that cannot be reliably predicted by individual community attributes like diversity or productivity. Yet, research has emphasized the role of these individual ...

Abstract:
... Identification of suitable habitats, where invasive species can establish, is an important step towards controlling their spread. Accurate identification is difficult for new or slow invaders because unoccupied habitats may be suitable, given enough time for dispersal, while occupied habitats may prove to be unsuitable for establishment. To identify the suitable habitat of a recent invader, I used ...
