Coral reef degradation increases coral interactions with filamentous turf algae (FTA) and macroalgae, which may result in chronic stress for the corals.We evaluated the effects of short (2.5 month) and long (10 month) periods of FTA removal on tissue thickness (TT), zooxanthellae density (ZD), mitotic index (MI), and concentration of chlorophyll a
Abstract The present study investigates the spatio-temporal variation in the density of the adults and larvae of the shore crab Pachygrapsus gracilis and identifies the reproductive period and the population structure of the species in the Marapanim estuary, in northern Brazil, in order to describe the biological characteristics of this equatorial
The term modern Iranian art, coming to the fore from the late Naseri era, refers to an integration of European patterns into decorative elements of the Persian art represented in a wide variety of art forms.When the roots of decorative patterns applied in the furniture of the second Qajar era are examined, one faces a variety of arabesque and Frenc
Abstract Genomic variants causing abnormal splicing play important roles in genetic disorders and cancer development.Among them, variants that cause the formation of novel splice-sites (splice-site creating variants, SSCVs) are particularly difficult to identify and often overlooked in genomic studies.Additionally, these SSCVs are frequently consid
