MACRO- AND MICROHABITAT PREDICTORS OF NEST SUCCESS AND HATCHLING SURVIVAL IN EASTERN BOX TURTLES (TERRAPENE CAROLINA CAROLINA) AND SPOTTED TURTLES (CLEMMYS GUTTATA) IN OAK SAVANNA LANDSCAPES

Macro- and Microhabitat Predictors of Nest Success and Hatchling Survival in Eastern Box Turtles (Terrapene carolina carolina) and Spotted Turtles (Clemmys guttata) in Oak Savanna Landscapes

Differing selection pressures on stationary nest contents compared to mobile offspring mean that the nest-site characteristics resulting in the highest nest success may not be the same characteristics that result in the highest survival of juveniles from those nests.In such cases, maternal nest-site choice may optimize productivity overall by selec

Hericium erinaceus enhances neurotrophic factors and prevents cochlear cell apoptosis in senescence accelerated mice

This study Graveur-Decoupeur Laser aimed to investigate the effects of Hericium erinaceus (HE) on auditory function.Twenty-four 9-month-old male senescence-accelerated prone 8 (SAMP8) mice were randomly and equally assigned to the control group (group A) and two groups supplemented with 215.25 (group B) or 430.5 mg/kg BW of HE (group C) for 12 week

Innovation Ecosystems in the European Union: Towards a Theoretical Framework for their Structural Advancement Assessment

A theoretical framework to describe and assess the advancement of innovation ecosystems in the contemporary European Electric Armchair Union is more than necessary in order to map actors and processes, and thus provide a more comprehensive and dynamic approach.For actors, the reframed innovation helix perspective is applied, while the multilevel pe
