While Wolbachia, an intracellular bacterial symbiont, is primarily transmitted maternally in arthropods, horizontal transmission between species has been commonly documented.We examined kleptoparasitism as a potential mechanism for Wolbachia COSMETICS horizontal transmission, using ant crickets and their host ants as the model system.We compared pr
The European Union is a leading patron for the introduction of renewable energy, having set a target that renewable sources will represent at least 27% of total energy consumption by the year 2030.Presently, the most significant Croatian renewable resource is hydropower, which is presently at its peak and will not develop further because of limited
Fomites involved in influenza transmission are either hand- or droplet-contaminated.We evaluated the interactions of fomite characteristics and human behaviors affecting these routes using an Environmental Infection Transmission System (EITS) model by comparing the basic reproduction numbers (R(0)) for different fomite mediated transmission pathway
The presence of the non-native Nile perch (Lates niloticus) in Lake Victoria and the resulting ecological transformations have garnered significant attention from the scientific community.However, details regarding the timing, origin, and purpose of the fish introduction have remained elusive.This paper reviews fish fauna changes in Lake Victoria,
Generally, epithelial cells must organize in three dimensions to form functional tissue sheets.Here we investigate one such Watch Case + Bands sheet, the Drosophila embryonic epidermis, and the morphogenetic processes organizing cells within it.We report that epidermal morphogenesis requires the proper distribution of the apical polarity determinan
