Abstract:
... This study determines the occurrence and molecular identification of nematodes from blue mackerel Scomber australasicus Cuvier (Perciformes: Scombridae), an edible fish from Australian waters. A total of 150 fish were sourced from the New South Wales and Victorian coasts. Nematodes were initially classified morphologically as 10 morphotypes belonging to the families Anisakidae (Anisakis morphotype ...

... Deep learning (DL) is a cutting-edge technology that enables high-throughput phenotyping in aquaculture. The routine application of DL offers new opportunities for the genetic selection of appearance traits, especially those related to body shape. The criteria currently used for the trait selection of commercial interest, such as rapid growth and weight gain, can directly influence the animal's ap ...

Abstract:
... We have examined the electronic structure and optical properties of intermetallic IrSn₄ for three polymorphic modifications, α-IrSn₄, β-IrSn₄, and γ-IrSn₄, utilizing the first-principles PAW-PBEsol-GGA and FP-LAPW-LSDA methods. The obtained electronic structure data reveal clear-cut differences between α-IrSn₄ and the remaining morphs. This observation may be used to explain the appearance of supe ...

Abstract:
... The article presents the palaeobotanical investigations of a remarkable discovery from the Early Chalcolithic settlement of Isaiia–Balta Popii (Romania), a multi-layered site. The excavation of a dwelling brought to light a rather rare finding, meaning a medium sized ceramic vessel having deposited inside two objects of burnt clay: an anthropomorphic figurine depicting pregnancy attributes and a s ...

Abstract:
... It is shown that the phyletic relationships of the morphotypes of large African barbs Barbus (Labeobarbus auctorum) may be assessed by the results of a comparative analysis of the structure of morphological differences between them. At the same time, the structure of differences between two samples is characterized by the distribution of eigenvector loadings of characters on the principle componen ...

Abstract:
... Deep-sea corals are important benthic inhabitants that support the biodiversity and function of the wider faunal community; however, their taxonomy is underdeveloped and their accurate identification is often difficult. In our study, we investigated the utility of a superextended (>3000 bp) barcode and explored the effectiveness of various molecular species delimitation techniques with an aim to p ...

Abstract:
... Astract—For the first time for the Central Caucasus, a description of the qualitative parameters of the Scots pine, such as viability and anomalies of pollen grains, is given. The cytological analysis of the morphological damage to the pollen structure enabled us to distinguish six morphotypes of the cells in the study area. At the sites of survey, the occurrence of abnormal pollen grains varied i ...

Abstract:
... Disturbances can facilitate biological invasions, with the associated increase in resource availability being a proposed cause. Here, we experimentally tested the interactive effects of disturbance regime (different frequencies of biomass removal at equal intensities) and resource abundance on invasion success using a factorial design containing five disturbance frequencies and three resource leve ...

Abstract:
... During the past decade, massive inundations of holopelagic Sargassum spp. (S. natans I, S. natans VIII, and S. fluitans III), commonly known as sargasso, have drastically affected beaches and coasts throughout the tropical Atlantic, leading to strong forecasting and monitoring efforts. This study aimed to characterize spatiotemporal variation in accumulation levels and morphotype composition of sa ...

Abstract:
... Starch granules (SGs) exhibit different morphologies depending on the plant species, especially in the endosperm of the Poaceae family. Endosperm phenotyping can be used to classify genotypes based on SG morphotype using scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis. SGs can be visualized using SEM by slicing through the kernel (pericarp, aleurone layers, and endosperm) and exposing the organellar ...

Abstract:
... Coelomocytes in the Holothuroidea are traditionally identified according to their morphology through light, fluorescence, or electron microscopy. Former studies have typically used only one method, with few works combining two or more approaches. Studies using cytocentrifugation to study these cells are scarcer. Thus, for the first time, an integrative approach was used to compare coelomocytes in ...

Abstract:
... Clostridioides difficile is a Gram-positive, spore-forming obligate anaerobe and a major threat to the healthcare system world-wide. Because of its strict anaerobic requirements, the infectious and transmissible morphotype is the dormant spore. During infection, C. difficile produces spores that can persist in the host and are responsible for disease recurrence and transmission, especially between ...

Abstract:
... Diethyl sulphate-based mutagenesis was performed on fungal strain Tolypocladium inflatum MTCC-3538. Two mutant morphotypes MT1-3538 and MT2-3538 were selected for further chemo-profiling studies. LCMS/MS profiling of fungal crude extract confirmed that the wild-type and mutant strains (MT1-3538, MT2-3538) were competent to produce cyclosporine A. MT2-3538 produced 2.1 fold higher cyclosporine A in ...

Abstract:
... The Cisuralian–Guadalupian (early–middle Permian) was a period of climate transition from the Carboniferous icehouse conditions to the latest Permian–Early Triassic hothouse. The landmasses had coalesced in the supercontinent Pangaea and the climate was progressively becoming more arid, especially in a belt over the palaeoequator. The deposits of present-day Mallorca (Balearic Islands, western Med ...

Abstract:
... Maintaining animal populations in captivity can be a useful way to conserve species, especially those that are extinct in the wild or endangered in their native habitats. These animals could be reintroduced into the wild from captivity if conditions improve. However, captive populations of endangered species are often established with few wild‐caught individuals and are maintained in novel habitat ...

Abstract:
... We document diversity and its distribution within the hyperdiverse Monomorium nigrius Forel group of the Australian monsoonal tropics, an unrecognized global centre of ant diversity. The group includes a single described species, but several distinct morphotypes each with multiple clearly recognizable taxa are known. Our analysis is based on 401 CO1-sequenced specimens collected from throughout th ...

Abstract:
... Species of the ciliate genus Spirostomum Ehrenberg, 1834 are distributed worldwide and have a research history spanning more than two centuries. However, species delimitation and phylogenetic relationships within this genus are still uncertain due to the paucity of stable morphologic characters for species separation and the unavailability of accompanying morphological data for most molecular sequ ...

Abstract:
... Sea urchins are the best-known models in echinoderm immunology and only four coelomocytes – i.e. phagocytes, vibratile cells, and red and colorless spherulocytes – have traditionally been observed in these animals. However, recent studies have demonstrated that this number could be underestimated, which consequently may hinder a better understanding of sea urchin physiology. Here, we investigated ...
