MOLECULAR PHYLOGENY OF ECHIURAN WORMS (PHYLUM: ANNELIDA) REVEALS EVOLUTIONARY PATTERN OF FEEDING MODE AND SEXUAL DIMORPHISM.

Molecular phylogeny of echiuran worms (Phylum: Annelida) reveals evolutionary pattern of feeding mode and sexual dimorphism.

The Echiura, or spoon worms, are Aromatherapy a group of marine worms, most of which live in burrows in soft sediments.This annelid-like animal group was once considered as a separate phylum because of the absence of segmentation, although recent molecular analyses have placed it within the annelids.In this study, we elucidate the interfamily relat

Sheep manure organic fertilizer is an effective strategy to promote strawberry growth by improving soil physicochemical properties and microbiota

The use of organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers can improve soil pH, help to maintain soil health and enable landowners to achieve organic or ecological-status agriculture.Rapeseed cake, sheep manure, and biofungal fertilizer are considered to be effective amendments to improve soil quality.However, there have been few studies on the

Measuring the Effect of Mental Health on Type 2 Diabetes

There are many putative risk factors for type 2 diabetes (T2D), and the causal relationship between these Trash Bin factors and diabetes has been established.Socio-environmental and biological approaches are increasingly used to infer causality, and research is needed to understand the causal role of these factors in diabetes risk.Therefore, this s

Multi-methodological characterisation of Costa Rican biochars from small-scale retort and top-lit updraft stoves and inter-methodological comparison

We applied common (pH, elemental analysis, thermogravimetry) and less-common (infrared spectroscopy, GACS adsorption test, pyrolysis-GC-MS, hydrogen pyrolysis) analytical procedures to a set of biochars from Costa Rica (bamboo stalk, cacao chaff, sawmill scrap, coconut husk and orchard prunings feedstocks).The biochars were produced by high tempera
