The Most Attractive Is Not Always the Preferred: Lessons From Necrophagous Dung Beetle Assemblages in a Region of the Central Amazon

ABSTRACT Resource attractiveness and preference is determinant to assess how biodiversity is structured in different ecosystems.Necrophagy is the alternative or complementary dietary habit of dung beetles, but a few studies have focused on evaluating how different carrion types attract different species.The goal of this study was to assess the effe

Sex-Related and Performance Differences in Contractile Properties, ROM, Strength, and Dynamometry Performance of World-Class Flatwater Canoeists

The inclusion of women canoe in the Olympic Games reflects the growth and development that women have ahead of them in this modality.Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore sex and performance level differences in muscle contractile properties through Tensiomyography (TMG), range of motion (ROM), strength, and canoe-specific functional elec

The hypersusceptible antibiotic screening strain Staphylococcus aureus SG511-Berlin harbors multiple mutations in regulatory genes

The genetic plasticity of Staphylococcus aureus has facilitated the evolution of many virulent and drug-resistant strains.Here we present the sequence of the 2.74 Mbp genome of S.aureus SG511-Berlin, which is frequently used for antibiotic screening.Although S.aureus SG511 and the related methicillin-resistant S.aureus MRSA252 share a high similari
