Chordomas are uncommon neoplasms arising from notochord remnants, most commonly
occurring in the axial skeleton. Extraskeletal soft tissue chordomas are rare primary tumors, and
primary intestinal chordomas have not been reported. Herein we report 24 cases of spontaneous
primary intestinal chordomas in zebrafish, as well as 9 spontaneous vertebral chordomas....

The pathogenic nematodes Pratylenchus neglectus (Rensch, 1924) Filipjev and Schuurmans Stekhoven, 1941 and Pratylenchus thornei Sher and Allen, 1953 cause severe yield losses in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). The objectives in this study were to assay a collection of Iranian landrace accessions collected from 12 provinces in Iran to identify...

Access to credit has been identified as a crucial tool in increasing fish production in the developing countries like Nigeria. Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund (ACGSF) was established for the purpose of boosting agricultural production (fish production inclusive). It is, therefore, imperative to study the Influence of Agricultural Credit Guarantee...

Variable ocean conditions can greatly impact lower trophic level prey assemblages in marine ecosystems, with effects propagating up to higher trophic levels. Our goal was to better understand how varying ocean conditions influence diets and niche overlap among a suite of low- to mid trophic level predators. We studied the...

The ecological consequences of widespread fisheries-induced reductions of large pelagic predators are not fully understood. Tropical tunas are considered a main component of apex predator guilds that include sharks and billfishes, and thus may seem unsusceptible to secondary effects of fishing top predators. However, intra-guild predation can occur because of...

Pacific red lionfish Pterois volitans have invaded Atlantic reefs and reached much greater population densities than on native reefs. We hypothesized that lionfish on invaded reefs would (1) experience higher kill rates and thus spend less time hunting, given the naïveté of Atlantic prey, (2) consume a greater variety of...
