Morphological variation of Ridged Frogs of the Taita Hills, Kenya
(Firenze University Press, 2011-12)
Comparing of morphological character variation within taxa continues to
play an important role in improving species inventories. Using morphometrical and
non-meristic morphological adult characters, the diversity of the ...
Stay at home aphids: comparative spatial and seasonal metapopulation structure and dynamics of two specialist tansy aphid species studied using microsatellite markers
(The Linnean Society of London, 2011-06)
Two tansy-feeding aphids, Macrosiphoniella tanacetaria (MA) and Metopeurum fuscoviride (ME), were studied at a
small spatial scale in and around Jena (< 80 km2) using polymorphic microsatellite markers. Both species were ...

Mating Strategies in Solitary Aphid Parasitoids: Effect of Patch Residence Time and Ant Attendance
(2011-06)
Mate finding and dispersal from the natal patch in parasitoid Hymenoptera
are influenced by the availability of host resources and interactions with other
organisms. We compared the mating behavior of three solitary aphid ...

Oceanithermus profundus Miroshnichenko et al. 2003 is the type species of the genus Ocea-nithermus, which belongs to the family Thermaceae. The genus currently comprises two spe-cies whose members are thermophilic and are ...
Complete genome sequence of the thermophilic sulfur-reducer Desulfurobacterium thermolithotrophum type strain (BSAT) from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent
(2011)
Desulfurobacterium thermolithotrophum L'Haridon et al. 1998 is the type species of the ge-nus Desulfurobacterium which belongs to the family Desulfurobacteriaceae. The species is of interest because it represents the first ...
Does the potentially toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis exist in the soda lakes of East Africa?
(Springer, 2011)
Presently, the food chains of the famous
saline alkaline flamingo-lakes of East Africa are the
focus of intense scientific discussion as the lakes host
toxic cyanobacteria, which when consumed by Lesser
Flamingos, ...
The Potential of a Low Cost Technology for The Greywater Treatment
(2011)
Greywater (GW) is household wastewater effluent originating from baths, showers, kitchen and hand wash basins and laundry and constitutes 50-80% of indoor household water use. It represents water that can potentially be ...
Complete genome sequence of the gliding freshwater bacterium Fluviicola taffensis type strain (RW262T)
(2011)
Fluviicola taffensis O'Sullivan et al. 2005 belongs to the monotypic genus Fluviicola within the family Cryomorphaceae. The species is of interest because of its isolated phylogenetic lo-cation in the genome-sequenced ...
