Reproductive output provides data fundamental to the conservation and management of sea turtles.Five years of data on the reproductive output of female green turtles was collected from Kosgoda beach, the second largest sea turtle rookery in Sri Lanka.Egg size, clutch size, clutch frequency, female size, hatchling size, hatching success, nest depth,
BackgroundPeople use the internet as a primary source for learning about medical procedures and their associated safety profiles and risks.Although abortion is one of the most common procedures worldwide among women in their reproductive years, it is controversial and highly politicized.Substantial scientific evidence demonstrates that abortion is
Abstract Background Cerebellar granule cell precursors are specifically generated within the hindbrain segment, rhombomere 1, which is bounded rostrally by the midbrain/hindbrain isthmus and caudally by the boundary of the Hoxa2 expression domain.While graded signals from the isthmus have a demonstrable patterning role within this region, the signi
Remorins, a family of plant-specific proteins containing a variable N-terminal region and conserved C-terminal domain, play a role in various biotic and abiotic stresses, including host-microbe interactions.However, their functions remain to be completely elucidated, especially for the Arabidopsis thaliana remorin group 4 (AtREM4).To elucidate the
