COMPARISON OF THE BIODIVERSITY OF EPIPHYTIC DIATOMS IN THE EUPHRATES-TIGRIS RIVERS USING MORPHOLOGICAL AND METABARCODING ANALYSES

Comparison of the biodiversity of epiphytic diatoms in the Euphrates-Tigris rivers using morphological and metabarcoding analyses

The Euphrates-Tigris catchment area is one of the major drainage basins in the Middle East but climate change, overuse of waters and subsequent salinization has brought this region to the brink of ecological devastation.The aim of this study was to investigate the biodiversity of epiphytic diatoms in Iraq, for the first time using a combination of

The creation and selection of mutations resistant to a gene drive over multiple generations in the malaria mosquito.

Gene drives have enormous potential for the control of insect populations of medical and agricultural relevance.By preferentially biasing their own inheritance, gene drives can rapidly introduce genetic traits even if these confer a negative fitness TOOTHPASTE FRESH MINT effect on the population.We have recently developed gene drives based on CRISP

Large discrepancy between observed and modeled wintertime tropospheric NO2 variabilities due to COVID-19 controls in China

Recent studies demonstrated the difficulties to explain observed tropospheric nitrogen dioxide (NO _2 ) variabilities over the United States and Europe, but thorough analysis for the impacts on tropospheric NO _2 in China is still lacking.Here Inserts we provide a comparative analysis for the observed and modeled (Goddard Earth Observing System-Che
