Predicting The Success Of An Invader: Niche Shift Versus Niche Conservatism
(2019)
Invasive species can encounter environments different from their source populations, which may trigger rapid adaptive changes after introduction (niche shift hypothesis). To test this hypothesis, we investigated whether ...
Revision Of The Species Composition And Distribution Of Turkish Sand Flies Using Dna Barcodes
(2019)
Background Currently, knowledge regarding the phlebotomine sand fly (Diptera: Psychodidae) fauna of Turkey is restricted to regions with endemic leishmaniasis. However, rapidly changing environmental and social conditions ...
Survey And Characterization Of Jingmen Tick Virus Variants
(2019)
We obtained a Jingmen tick virus (JMTV) isolate, following inoculation of a tick pool with detectable Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) RNA. We subsequently screened 7223 ticks, representing 15 species in five ...
Past, Present, And Future Geographic Range Of An Oro-Mediterranean Tertiary Relict: The Juniperus Drupacea Case Study
(2019)
Juniperus drupacea is a unique relict species found in the mountains of southern Greece, southern Turkey, and western Syria and Lebanon. The aim of this study was to describe the natural range of this juniper by determining ...
Naturally-Primed Life Strategy Plasticity Of Dimorphic Aethionema Arabicum Facilitates Optimal Habitat Colonization
(2019)
Plasticity in plant dispersal traits can maximise the ability of a plant species to survive in stressful environments during colonization. Aethionema arabicum (Brassicaceae) is a dimorphic annual species that is hypothesized ...
The Composition, Diversity, And Distribution Of Mosquito Fauna (Diptera: Culicidae) In Kosovo
(2019)
The aim of this study is to identify the mosquito species that currently exist and their distributions in Kosovo in order to determine current potential endemic zones and areas at a higher risk for future epidemics. These ...
Phylogeny Of Thripophagini Ovenbirds (Aves: Synallaxinae: Furnariidae)
(2019)
In this study, we address the evolutionary relationships and discuss the biogeographical history of a complex and diverse group of ovenbirds, the Thripophagini. We reconstruct the phylogeny and estimate the time of divergence ...
Genetic Associations Of The Response To Inhaled Corticosteroids In Asthma: A Systematic Review
(2019)
There is wide variability in the response to inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) in asthma. While some of this heterogeneity of response is due to adherence and environmental causes, genetic variation also influences response ...
Effects Of Butylparaben On Antioxidant Enzyme Activities And Histopathological Changes In Rat Tissues
(2019)
Butyl p-hydroxybenzoic acid, also known as butylparaben (BP), is one of the most common parabens absorbed by the skin and gastrointestinal tract and metabolised in the liver and kidney. Recent in vivo and in vitro studies ...
