DIVERSITY AND POLLINATION VALUE OF INSECTS VISITING THE FLOWERS OF A RARE BUCKWHEAT (ERIOGONUM PELINOPHILUM: POLYGONACEAE) IN DISTURBED AND "NATURAL" AREAS

Diversity and pollination value of insects visiting the flowers of a rare buckwheat (Eriogonum pelinophilum: Polygonaceae) in disturbed and "natural" areas

We compared flower-visitors of the endangered plant Eriogonum pelinophilum, at relatively undisturbed and highly disturbed sites.We found no difference between sites in flower visitation rate or species richness of flower-visitors; species diversity of flower-visitors was higher at disturbed than at undisturbed sites but there was GREEK YOGURT STAR

The role of TRPA1 channels in thermosensation

Transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) is a polymodal nonselective cation channel sensitive to different physical and chemical stimuli.TRPA1 is associated with many important physiological functions in different species and thus is involved in different degrees of evolution.TRPA1 acts as a polymodal receptor for the perceiving of GREEK YOGU

In situ forming ROS-scavenging hybrid hydrogel loaded with polydopamine-modified fullerene nanocomposites for promoting skin wound healing

Abstract Background Excessive oxidative stress at the wound sites always leads to a prolonged healing and even causes chronic inflammatory wounds.Therefore, antioxidative dressings with multiple features are desired to improve wound healing performance.Herein, we fabricated a ROS-scavenging hybrid hydrogel by incorporating mussel-inspired Wart Remo

Data resource profile: the Edinburgh Child Protection Dataset - a new linked administrative data source of children referred to Child Protection paediatric services in Edinburgh, Scotland

Introduction Child maltreatment affects a substantial number of children.However current evidence relies on either longitudinal studies, which are complex and resource-intensive, or linked data studies based on social services data, which is arguably the tip of the iceberg in terms of children who are maltreated.Reliable, linked, population-level d
