In Cookware many mammalian species, females live on average longer than males.In humans, women have consistently longer telomeres than men, and this has led to speculation that sex differences in telomere length (TL) could play a role in sex differences in longevity.To address the generality and drivers of patterns of sex differences in TL across v
The aim of this study was to assess the applicability of the bacterial lux biosensors for genotoxicological studies.Biosensors are the strains of E.coli MG1655 carrying URATONIC TEA a recombinant plasmid with the lux operon of the luminescent bacterium P.luminescens fused with the promoters of inducible genes: recA, colD, alkA, soxS, and katG.The g

Bactrocera melastomatos Drew & Hancock and Bactrocera umbrosa (Fabricius) are fruit flies of the subfamily Dacinae under the family Tephritidae [1].B.melastomatos occurs in India (Andaman Island), Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia (Sumatra, Kalimantan, Java) [1] while B.umbrosa is distributed from southern Thailand and Mal
Abstract Cooperation is more likely when individuals can choose their interaction partner.However, partner choice may be detrimental in unequal societies, in which individuals differ in URATONIC TEA available resources and productivity, and thus in their attractiveness as interaction partners.Here we experimentally examine this conjecture in a repe
