DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSE OF CORAL ASSEMBLAGES TO THERMAL STRESS UNDERSCORES THE COMPLEXITY IN PREDICTING BLEACHING SUSCEPTIBILITY.

Differential Response of Coral Assemblages to Thermal Stress Underscores the Complexity in Predicting Bleaching Susceptibility.

Coral bleaching events have been predicted to occur more frequently in the coming decades with global warming.The susceptibility of corals to bleaching during thermal stress episodes is dependent on many Folding Commodes factors and an understanding of these underlying drivers is crucial for conservation management.In 2013, a mild bleaching episode

Short germ insects utilize both the ancestral and derived mode of Polycomb group-mediated epigenetic silencing of Hox genes

In insect species that undergo long germ segmentation, such as Drosophila, all segments are specified simultaneously at the early blastoderm stage.As embryogenesis progresses, the expression boundaries of Hox genes are established by repression of gap genes, which is subsequently replaced by Polycomb group (PcG) silencing.At present, however, it is

Catalogue of type-specimens of the Herbario Nacional del Ecuador (QCNE), Museo Ecuatoriano de Ciencias Naturales

The type-specimen collection of the Herbario Nacional del Ecuador (QCNE) preserves important vouchers from across Ecuador collected by Ecuadorian and foreign researchers.Types are of paramount importance to understad biodiversity because their designation Gift Set is a requirement for the description of new species.We present a synopsis of the type
