In the context of global change, integration non-native tree (NNT) species into European forestry is increasingly being discussed. The ecological consequences increasing use or spread NNTs in forests are highly uncertain, as scientific evidence either constraint to results from case studies with limited spatial extent, concerns assessments that lack focus on NNTs. For case, generalisations chal...

In this study we investigated the effects of tannic acid on fitness-related traits in gypsy moth larvae from two differently adapted populations. Thirty two full-sib families from oak (suitable host plant, Quercus population), and twenty six full-sib families from locust-tree (unsuitable host plant, Robinia population) forests were reared on artificial diets with or without a 5% tannic acid sup...

This article documents the addition of 229 microsatellite marker loci to the Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for the following species: Acacia auriculiformis × Acacia mangium hybrid, Alabama argillacea, Anoplopoma fimbria, Aplochiton zebra, Brevicoryne brassicae, Bruguiera gymnorhiza, Bucorvus leadbeateri, Delphacodes detecta, Tumidagena minuta, Dictyostelium giganteum...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of sodium arsenite and Acacia honey on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and electrolytes in the brain and serum of Wistar rats. Male Wistar albino rats in four groups of five rats each were treated with distilled water, sodium arsenite (5 mg/kg body weight), Acacia honey (20% v/v), and sodium arsenite and Acacia honey, daily for one week. T...

inhalation of pollens from different species of acacia is a common cause of respiratory allergy in tropical areas of the world. acacia farnesiana is commonly used as street trees in towns and ornamental shade trees in parks and gardens throughout arid and semi-arid regions of asia. this study aimed to produce and purify the a. farnesiana pollen profilin (aca f 2) and evaluate its nucleotide seq...

Acacia species are quite difficult to differentiate using morphological characters. Routine identification of Acacia samples is important in order to distinguish invasive species from rare species or those of economic importance, particularly in the forest industry. The genus Acacia is quite abundant and diverse comprising approximately 1355 species, which is currently divided into three subgen...

With the continuously growing data from scientific devices and models, data exploration becomes one of four kinds of scientific research paradigms. It leads to faster, larger-scale and more complex processing requirements, and parallelism is being more and more important for scientific data analyzing applications. But, because of troubles such as unstable wide-area network and heterogeneity amo...

Black locust was introduced in Hungary between 1710 and 1720. The first large black locust forests were established at the beginning of the 18th century on the Great Hungarian Plain stabilizing the windblown sandy soil. In the country, black locust occupied 37.000 ha in 1885, 109.000 ha in 1911, 186.000 ha in 1938 and 415.000 ha in 2009. At present, it is the most widely planted species in Hung...

While menopause is an usual process of aged in women, it is a critical period of women's life related with many problem and complaints. 1,2 Pelvic prolapse is common in postmenopausal women, which is defined as the loss of maintenance to the pelvic organs, and it causes in a herniation of these into the vaginal canal. This problem distresses 50% of parous women and at least 50% of all women pro...
