Short communication: Landscape and season effects on the diet of the Goshawk

2009

There are two general effects of habitat loss and frag-mentation of mature boreal forests (Schmiegelow &Monkkonen 2002). First, fragmentation by farmlandcreates stable structures such as permanent edge zoneswith enrichment of species diversity and density(Andren 1992, Berg & Part 1994). Secondly, modernforestry with clear-cuts creates sharp, unstable bound-aries between forest and open areas, usually with lesspronounced edge effects (Helle 1983, Schmiegelow &Monkkonen 2002). Considering the vast array of stud-ies on the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation onbird populations, relatively little attention has beenpaid to the role of predators, other than nest preda-tors, across different…

Excretion and metabolism of phenol, 4-nitrophenol and 2-methylphenol by the frogs Rana temporaria and Xenopus laevis.

1987

1. Rana and Xenopus excrete 90-95% dose, and metabolize 50-65% dose of phenol, 4-nitrophenol and 2-methylphenol within 24 h, to about the same extent. 2. Kinetic data for the excretion of phenols from both species fit a two-compartment model. The elimination constants of Rana and Xenopus are not significantly different. 3. Metabolism is mostly conjugation by glucuronidation and sulphation of the original phenols. Additionally, oxidations leading to dihydroxyphenols and benzoic acid from 2-methylphenol, and reduction of 4-nitrophenol occur, followed by conjugation. 4. There is an important difference between the metabolite patterns of Rana and Xenopus in that the latter is unable to glucuron…

Data from: Phylogenomics of Lophotrochozoa with consideration of systematic error

2021

Phylogenomic studies have improved understanding of deep metazoan phylogeny and show promise for resolving incongruences among analyses based on limited numbers of loci. One region of the animal tree that has been especially difficult to resolve, even with phylogenomic approaches, is relationships within Lophotrochozoa (the animal clade that includes molluscs, annelids, and flatworms among others). Lack of resolution in phylogenomic analyses could be due to insufficient phylogenetic signal, limitations in taxon and/or gene sampling, or systematic error. Here, we investigated why lophotrochozoan phylogeny has been such a difficult question to answer by identifying and reducing sources of sys…

Competencia digital ciudadana: análisis de tendencias en el ámbito educativo

2021

La competencia digital ciudadana se ha ido integrando en los procesos formativos de manera desigual, a pesar de la existencia de marcos internacionales que promueven su inclusión en los diferentes sistemas educativos. Este estudio trata de aproximarse al fenómeno desde una perspectiva bibliométrica y bibliográfica. Por un lado, se explora la producción científica en términos cuantitativos, a partir del análisis de los 87 artículos seleccionados de las bases de datos Scopus y Web of Science, analizando cuestiones como el número de autores o de citas. Por otro lado, se analiza el contenido de las 47 publicaciones disponibles en abierto, abordando cuestiones como la etapa educativa, los partic…

Exclusively juvenile centrioles inXenopus laevis oocytes injected with preparations of mature centrioles

1999

Activated oocytes of Xenopus laevis were injected with centriole preparations isolated either from spermatozoa of loach fish Misgurnus fossilis or from rat liver. These injections induced the development of cytasters in the ooplasm and egg cleavage. Electron microscopic study of cytasters was made at the stage that corresponded to interphase between first and second cleavage divisions. This study revealed in cytasters singleton centrioles surrounded by pericentriolar material and numerous microtubules. Surprisingly, the ultrastructure of centrioles in cytasters corresponded to that of juvenile, newly formed vertebrate centrioles, whereas the injected preparations contained only adult mature…

Selection From Bibliographic Resources of an Analytical Method for Cosmetic Products

2018

Abstract This chapter is focussed on a general strategy to select an appropriate method from the scientific literature to solve an analytical problem in cosmetic analysis using useful and flexible web tools. A short introduction on the use of ScienceDirect (Elsevier), Scopus (Elsevier), SciFinder Scholar (American Chemical Society), Web of Science (Thomson Reuters) and the freely available Google Scholar is given. The main analytical features to be considered in the selection of the method, such as limit of detection, limit of quantification, linearity, precision (repeatability, intermediate precision and reproducibility), selectivity, robustness and accuracy, are briefly described. Additio…

A systematic analysis of duplicate records in Scopus

2015

In recent years, the Web of Science Core Collection and Scopus databases have become primary sources for conducting studies that evaluate scientific investigations. Such studies require that duplicate records be excluded to avoid errors of overrepresentation. In this line, we identify duplicate records in Scopus and examine their origins. Identifying journals with duplicate records in Scopus, selecting and downloading bibliographic journal records, and identifying and analyzing the duplicate records is the methodology adopted. Duplicate records are found when articles published in a journal are incorrectly mapped by Scopus to this journal and to a different journal from the same publisher a…
