• Experimental Workflow for Fast and Accurate Genotyping of Scrapie-resistant/sensitive Sheep
  

  Several scientific studies support the claim that natural scrapie is associated with polymorphisms at three codons within the sheep prion protein (PrP) gene. Genotyping of these codons (codon 136 [alanine, valine], 154 [arginine, histidine], and 171 [glutamine, arginine, histidine]) might enable breeding of sheep flocks with high resistance to scrapie. Fast and reliable high-throughput genotyping of sheep is a major issue, since scrapie is a serious problem in several European countries. To address this, an experimental procedure for DNA preparation and PCR-based detection of codon 136, 154, and 171 polymorphisms was established. more

• Biotic homogenization as a threat to native affiliate species: fish introductions dilute freshwater mussel's host resources

  Abstract Aim The indirect consequences of biotic homogenization, the process of a gradual increase in the similarity of regional biotas driven by the combined effects of species invasions and extinctions, are still poorly understood. In this study, we aimed to assess the ability of a native af more

• Comparison of one‐step and sequentially irradiated ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylene for total joint replacements

  Abstract Structure and properties of several ultrahigh‐molecular‐weight polyethylenes (UHMWPEs), which were crosslinked either by standard, single‐step irradiation or by newer, several‐step irradiation (sequential irradiation), were compared. To verify the results, the same characterization was more

• A method to study slug predation on seedlings in the field

  Abstract Dandelion is a common Asteraceae species that populates disturbed sites and gaps within swards where it becomes an important competitor of grasses. The natural control against dandelion includes seedling predation, with slugs, particularly Arion lusitanicus, being the most important in more
