Anopheles fluviatilis complex is known to be a vector of malaria in Iran.Since mosquitoes of this species cover a wide geographical range in Iran, they might have evolved into different separated populations.Random amplified polymorphic DNA polymerase chain reaction (RAPD-PCR) assay was used to differentiate geographic populations of this species.D
The reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced during exercise act as a double-edged sword because they may cause oxidative damage but also play a role in the signaling pathways.A supplementation of exogenous antioxidants can reduce the total amount of ROS during exercise while it may also affect the ROS’ role in the signaling pathways of mitochondri
While urbanization exposes individuals to novel challenges, urban areas may also constitute stable environments in which seasonal fluctuations are buffered.Baseline and stress-induced plasma corticosterone (cort) levels are often found to be similar here in urban and rural populations.Here we aimed to disentangle two possible mechanisms underlying
The colonial ascidian Didemnum vexillum has dispersed from its native Japan to many temperate coastal regions of the world, yet many features of its life history remain poorly studied.Using D.vexillum populations in the northeastern USA, several features of growth and sexual reproduction, as well as asexual reproduction via the unusual feature of d
