In addition to shifts in floral morphology, we examined three premating barriers isolation by self-fertilization, flowering-time asynchrony, and pollinator-mediated isolation. RESULTS We found significant differences in the morphology of diploid and neopolyploid flowers, but these changes did not facilitate premating barriers that would generate…[Read more]

812 and 0.897. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach is robust for detecting pavement cracks in a complex road surface status. The proposed method is also promising in serving the extraction of other on-road objects.Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum x morifolium Ramat.) cultivar Jinba is a distinctive short-day chrysanthemum that…[Read more]

Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV3) is a recently discovered member of the Circoviridae family. So far, its presence has been reported in North America, Asia, South America, and Europe. In this study, blood and tissue samples from 189 Sardinian suids (34 domestic pigs, 115 feral free ranging pigs, and 39 wild boars) were used to genetically characterize…[Read more]

Constructing multifunctional characteristics toward advanced electromagnetic interference shielding materials in harsh environments has become a development trend. Herein, the wood-derived magnetic porous carbon composites with a highly ordered anisotropic porous architecture were successfully fabricated through a pyrolysis procedure. The…[Read more]

N stable isotope natural abundances of fiddler crab carapace-associated biofilms were within the range expected for fixed N, further suggesting active microbial N2 fixation. These results extend our knowledge on the diversity of invertebrate-microbe associations, and provide a clear example of how animal microbiota can mediate a plethora of…[Read more]
