Effect of Gamma Irradiation and Selection with Fungus Filtrate (Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn) on the in Vitro Culture of Common Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)
(2015)
The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of gamma irradiation (dose from 10 to 100 Gy) and in vitro selection with fungus filtrate as selecting agent (concentration from 20% to 100%) on the susceptibility ...
Movements and morphology under sexual selection: tsetse fly genitalia
(Ethology Ecology & Evolution 22: 385–391, 2010, 2010-04-17)
SHÖN (2009, Ethology Ecology & Evolution 21: 161–172) pointed out that in order
to understand the functional morphology of sexually selected structures that are used
as signaling devices in birds, it is crucial to ...
Soil fertility characterisation of teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) plantations in Central America
(2015)
Teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) is an important species in the worldwide quality tropical hardwood sector, which has gained significance in Central America since the first large plantations were established in the 1980s. The ...
Medfly courtship duration: a sexually selected reaction norm changed by crowding
(Ethology Ecology & Evolution 10: 369-382, 1998, 1998-10)
The evolutionary effects of crowding on male courtship behavior were
studied using wild and mass-reared medflies. Mass-reared strains had been raised
under highly crowded conditions in mass-rearing facilities for ...
Selecting key toxins for focused development of elapid snake antivenoms and inhibitors guided by a Toxicity Score
(2015-09-15)
For more than 100 years, antivenoms have been produced by traditional methods of immunization of large mammals with mixtures of snake venoms (World Health Organization, 2010 and Gutiérrez et al., 2011). With the introduction ...
Global Model selection for evaluation of Climate Change projections in the Eastern Tropical Pacific Seascape
(Revista Biología Tropical 60 (3): 67-81, 2012-11)
Two methods for selecting a subset of simulations and/or general circulation models (GCMs) from a set of 30 available simulations are compared: 1) Selecting the models based on their performance on reproducing 20th century ...
Two phospholipase A2 inhibitors from the plasma of Cerrophidion (Bothrops) godmani which selectively inhibit two different group-II phospholipase A2 myotoxins from its own venom: isolation, molecular cloning and biological properties
(2000-03-15)
Myotoxic phospholipases A2 (PLA2s; group II) account for most of the muscle-tissue damage that results from envenomation by viperid snakes. In the venom of the Godman's viper (Cerrophidion godmani, formerly Bothrops godmani), ...
Ethyl propionate: Synergistic kairomone for african palm weevil,Rhynchophorus phoenicis L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
(1994-04)
Small trunk pieces of a freshly felled 10-year-old oil palm,Elaeis quineensis (Jacq.), were placed in a modified Nalgene desiccator, and volatiles captured for six days on Porapak Q. Gas chromatographic (GC) analysis of ...
A geographical sampling method for surveys of mosquito larvae in an urban area using high-resolution satellite imagery
(2008-06-01)
Entomological surveys in urban areas are often biased by selecting houses or locations with known high vector densities. A sampling strategy was developed for Puntarenas, Costa Rica, using high-resolution satellite imagery. ...
Lettuce for Human Consumption Collected in Costa Rica Contains Complex Communities of Culturable Oxytetracycline- and Gentamicin-Resistant Bacteria
(2006-09)
The present widespread use of antimicrobials in crop farming is based upon their successful application in
human medicine. However, recent evidence suggests that the massive anthropogenic release of antimicrobials into ...
