Lipid content and lipid-class distribution in the northern krill Meganyctiphanes norvegica (M. Sars, 1857) was investigated in 3 contrasting (in terms of climatic and trophic conditions) areas: the Ligurian Sea, the Clyde Sea and the Kattegat. Seasonal differences in the lipid content of krill were closely related to food supply coupled with the krill reproductive state in both the Ligurian Sea...

In the north Atlantic, Meganyctiphanes norvegica feeds predominantly on copepods, including Calanus spp. To quantify its perceptual field for prey, and the sensory systems underlying prey detection, the responses of tethered krill to free-swimming Calanus spp. were observed in 3D using silhouette video imaging. An attack-which occurred despite the krill's being tethered-was characterized by a p...

Bu çalışmada Göreme Milli Parkı içerisinde yayılış gösteren epifitik karayosunlarının substrat tercihleri ordinasyon yöntemleri kullanılarak araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada istatistik hesaplamalar için açık kaynak kodlu PAST (PAleontological STatistics) programı kullanılmıştır. program ile biyolojik çeşitlilik ve benzerlik indeksleri hesaplanmış Temel Bileşen (PCA) Küme (CA) analizleri yapılmıştır. ...

ABI3 (ABSCISIC ACID INSENSITIVE 3) is a family of B3 transcription factors essential for regulating the abscisic acid (ABA) signaling pathway involved in various biological processes and abiotic stress. Our previous studies demonstrated that ectopic expression ScABI3 from desiccation-tolerant moss (Syntrichia caninervis) into Arabidopsis thaliana enhanced stress tolerance. However, on plant tra...

The tendency of ectotherms to get larger in the cold (Bergmann clines) has potentially great implications for individual performance and food web dynamics. The mechanistic drivers of this trend are not well understood, however. One fundamental question is to which extent variation in body size is attributed to variation in cell size, which again is related to genome size. In this study, we anal...
