Background Previous studies have indicated that tooth loss is associated with colorectal cancer risk but have presented controversial results. Methods We conducted a dose-response meta-analysis in order to investigate the correlation between tooth loss and colorectal cancer risk. Up to August 2017, six eligible studies were included in this meta-analysis. Results Our results showed statisti...

We examined the phenotypical intra- and inter-populational variation of Laudakia stellio, one most-studied agamids, which is widely distributed in Anatolia order to reveal qualitative quantitative aspects morphological differences among populations. used for quantification colouration different body parts colour palettes with RGB (Red-Green-Blue) scale prepared histograms. The populations were ...

We use approximately 1900bp of mitochondrial (ND2) and nuclear (c-mos and Rag-1) DNA sequence data to recover phylogenetic relationships among 58 species and 26 genera of Eugongylus group scincid lizards from New Caledonia, Lord Howe Island, New Zealand, Australia and New Guinea. Taxon sampling for New Caledonian forms was nearly complete. We find that the endemic skink genera occurring on New ...

Preliminary results of the investigation of the microfauna at the Acheulo-Yabrudian Middle Pleistocene site of Qesem Cave, Israel, are presented. Thus far the assemblage includes ca. 10,000 bone and tooth fragments, of which 50% could be identified to the generic and some hundreds to the species level. Based on the current material, the fauna includes the following squamate reptiles: Laudakia s...

We intended to relate the geographic distribution of ruminant gastrointestinal nematodes in relation to steppe climate (and vegetation). Data are either from literature or from newly acquired/available results. Simple or more sophisticated meteorological indices were used to characterize the climate. Regression analyses were used to correlate climatic factors and presence of endoparasites from ...

En el presente estudio se realizó una evaluación de la concentración metales pesados (Hg, As, Cd, Zn, Pb, Cu, Mn) en agua y solidos suspendidos totales para un tramo del río Cauca dos temporadas (seca – lluvias). estudiado, desde Caucasia (Antioquia) hasta Achí (Bolívar) fueron seleccionadas 13 estaciones muestreo. Para los sólidos orden decreciente fue Mn>Zn>Cu>Pb>As>Hg>Cd Mn...
