URBAN SPACES AND PEDESTRIAN MOBILITY: THE ROLE OF URBAN DESIGN FOR ENHANCING WALKABILITY


Localization and tissue tropism of the symbiont Microsporidia MB in the germ line and somatic tissues of Anopheles arabiensis

ABSTRACTThe Anopheles symbiont, Microsporidia MB, is maternally inherited and has a strong malaria transmission-blocking phenotype in Anopheles arabiensis.Microsporidia MB is also vertically transmitted, sexually transmitted, and avirulent.These characteristics are expected to promote its spread through mosquito populations, enhancing the potential

Apis mellifera octopamine receptor 1 (AmOA1) expression in antennal lobe networks of the honey bee (Apis mellifera) and fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster)

Octopamine (OA) underlies reinforcement during appetitive conditioning in the honey bee and fruit fly, acting via different subtypes of receptors.Recently, antibodies raised against a peptide sequence of one honey bee OA receptor, AmOA1, Protective Cover were used to study the distribution of these receptors in the honey bee brain (Sinakevitch et a
