GENETIC VARIABILITY AND PHENOTYPIC DIVERSITY IN POPULATIONS OF THE EURASIAN PERCH, PERCA FLUVIATILIS (ACTINOPTERYGII, PERCIDAE)

Genetic variability and phenotypic diversity in populations of the Eurasian perch, Perca fluviatilis (Actinopterygii, Percidae)

The Eurasian perch Perca fluviatilis (Linnaeus, 1758) is a common species of fish in northern ecosystems.The species demonstrates high phenotypic diversity when it inhabits various types of water bodies.Here, we investigate whether there is a relationship between the genetic variability and phenotypic diversity in natural perch populations.Perca fl

Socio-ecological influences of adolescence marijuana use initiation: Qualitative evidence from two illicit marijuana-growing communities in South Africa

Background: Adolescence has been identified as a critical risk period for substance use initiation, such as marijuana.Although several factors have been cited for adolescent marijuana use, those that influence initiation, especially in an African setting where illicit marijuana activities are rife, have not been contextually explored.Aim: We ascert

Evaluation of atmospheric correction algorithms for salt lake water assessment: Accuracy, band-specific effects, and sensor consistency.

Atmospheric correction plays an important role in LADIES SKIRT LEATHER satellite monitoring of lake water quality.However, different atmospheric correction algorithms yield significantly different accuracy for inland lake waters beset by shallowness and turbidity.Finding a suitable algorithm for a specific lake is critical for quantitative satellit

Association between atherogenic index of plasma and future cardiovascular disease risk in middle-aged and elderly individuals with cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome stage 0-3

BackgroundCardiovascular disease (CVD) is strongly correlated with plasma atherogenic index (AIP); however, there is limited literature exploring the association between trajectories of change in AIP and the risk of CVD.This study aimed to investigate whether changes in AIP are associated Hooded Blanket with CVD in individuals with cardiovascular-k
