conclusions the results of this study suggest that e. hebecarpa extracts can be used to inhibit the planktonic and biofilm forms of these selected bacteria. objectives in an effort to combat these industrial and medical bacterial biofilm problems, our study aims to determine the antimicrobial effect of euphorbia hebecarpa. materials and methods the inhibition efficiency of alcoholic extracts on...

The homoplasy excess test (HET) is a tree-based screen for hybrid taxa in multilocus nuclear phylogenies. Homoplasy between a hybrid taxon and the clades containing the parental taxa reduces bootstrap support in the tree. The HET is based on the expectation that excluding the hybrid taxon from the data set increases the bootstrap support for the parental clades, whereas excluding non-hybrid tax...

Hydrodynamic conditions are important factors for planktonic algae growth, through introducing two parameters which express the optimal velocity and the velocity range for planktonic algae growth, a new velocity factor was put forward for the formula of growth rate. Therefore, the two-dimensional unsteady ecological dynamicmodel for algae growthwas established to analyze the effects of hydrodyn...

The "phylogenetic diversity" (PD) measure of biodiversity is evaluated using a phylogenetic tree, usually inferred from morphological or molecular data. Consequently, it is vulnerable to errors in that tree, including those resulting from sampling error, model misspecification, or conflicting signals. To improve the robustness of PD, we can evaluate the measure using either a collection (or dis...
