Global mapping of freshwater nutrient enrichment and periphyton growth potential
(Springer Nature, 2020-02-27)
Periphyton (viz. algal) growth in many freshwater systems is associated with severe eutrophication that can impair productive and recreational use of water by billions of people. However, there has been limited analysis ...
Is there gender bias in reviewer selection and publication success rates for the New Zealand Journal of Ecology?
(New Zealand Ecological Society, 2014)
Gender bias in the sciences is a prominent issue. Evidence suggests that more equal involvement of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics fields leads to a diversity of working styles that can contribute ...
The effect of sheep and cow milk supplementation of a low calcium diet on the distribution of macro and trace minerals in the organs of weanling rats
(MDPI, 2020-03)
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of either sheep or cow milk supplementation to a low calcium and phosphorus diet on growth and organ mineral distribution in weanling rats. Rats were fed diets consisting ...
Population structure of Bactrocera dorsalis s.s., B papayae and B. philippinensis (Diptera: Tephritidae) in southeast Asia: evidence for a single species hypothesis using mitochondrial DNA and wing-shape data
(BioMed Central, 2012-07-30)
Background: Bactrocera dorsalis s.s. is a pestiferous tephritid fruit fly distributed from Pakistan to the Pacific, with the Thai/Malay peninsula its southern limit. Sister pest taxa, B. papayae and B. philippinensis, occur ...
