ANALYSIS OF ALGAL GROWTH- AND MORPHOGENESIS- PROMOTING FACTORS IN AN INTEGRATED MULTI-TROPHIC AQUACULTURE SYSTEM FOR FARMING ULVA SPP.

Analysis of algal growth- and morphogenesis- promoting factors in an integrated multi-trophic aquaculture system for farming Ulva spp.

The marine green macroalgal genus Ulva (Chlorophyta) requires the presence of a combination of regulatory morphogenetic compounds released by their associated epiphytic bacteria in addition to nutritional parameters.The activity of algal growth- and morphogenesis-promoting factors (AGMPFs) derived from bacteria was determined in a land-based integr

Prolonged exposure weakens risk perception and behavioral mobility response: Empirical evidence from Covid-19

Understanding the behavioral response dynamics to risks is important for informed policy-making at times of crises.Here we elucidate two response channels to Covid-19 risk and show that they weakened over time, prior to the availability of vaccines.We employ fixed-effects panel regression models to empirically assess the relationship between actual

Behavioral variation across the days and lives of honey bees

Summary: In honey bee colonies, workers generally change tasks with age (from brood care, to nest work, to foraging).While these trends are well established, our understanding of how individuals distribute tasks during a day, and how individuals differ in their lifetime behavioral trajectories, is limited.Here, we use automated tracking to obtain l
