The present study was undertaken to determine, by measurement
of nuclear DNA, the degrees and frequencies of ploidy in the
last larval instar of the moth Galleria mellonella Linnaeus. While
such data have been amassed for a wide variety of vertebrate tissues,
few studies have been concerned with invertebrates and...
Fungi play critical roles in ecosystem processes and interact with plant communities in mutualistic, pathogenic, and commensal ways. Fungal communities are thought to be influenced by both associated tree communities and soil properties. However, the relative importance of the biotic and abiotic drivers of soil fungal community structure and diversity...

In Artemia salina nauplii acclimated in 0.25 M, 0.5 M, 1.0 M, 1.5 M,
2.0 M, and 2.5 M NaCl incorporation of ¹⁴CO₂ into free amino acids was
greatly stimulated in the higher salinities. The ¹⁴C label was found in
aspartic acid, serine, glutamic acid, proline and alanine.

This study was made to present any evidence as to differences
in the frequency of occurrence of corticolous lichens from east to
west in the Willamette Valley on a bark substrate of Quercus Garryana.
Twenty-four species of lichens were observed to be present
within the grid area of the 100...
