Anthoptilum grandiflorum and Halipteris finmarchica are two deep-sea corals (Octocorallia: Pennatulacea) common on soft bottoms in the North Atlantic where they are believed to act as biogenic habitat. The former also has a worldwide distribution. To assist conservation efforts, this study examines spatial and temporal patterns in the abundance, diversity, and nature of their faunal associates....

Overabundant white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) are a significantmanagement problem in North America that exerts unprecedented herbivory pressure on native understory forest communities. Conserving understory plant populations requires quantifying a sustainable level of deer herbivory. To date, most population projection models consider only deer presence and absence. To estimate popula...

In this study, the antioxidant, antiacetylcholinesterase, anti-inflammatory, and DNA protecting activities of the aerial parts of Glaucium grandiflorum var. grandiflorum were evaluated. It was found that the lyophilized methanolic extract exhibited an inhibitory capacity against FeCl3/ascorbic acid induced posphatidylcholine liposome oxidation (EC50 = 2.62  0.08 mg/mL), quenched HOCl (5.87  0...

The objective of this research is to produce dwarf Eustoma grandiflorum (Raf.) Shinn. ‘Little Belle Blue’ potted plants flower in 130 days after sowing without exhibiting high temperature induced (HTI) rosette. High rosette defined as “the abnormal growth and development a compressed stem near the ground forming 3 – 4 pairs true leaves resulting from exposure seedlings temperatures, fail form e...
