A higher susceptibility of native pollinators to the presence of honeybee hives was found in Small patches, suggesting that the pollinator assemblage may be severely altered when fragmentation occurs in combination with beekeeping.
In this paper, the coupling effects surrounding mountain villages were detected: (1) altitude determined the mountain landscape at regional scale, while human disturbance altered landscape fragmentation and diversity at local scale surrounding villages.
Western blots for TLR9 detected altered receptor fragmentation patterns in adult Rab11a ΔIEC intestines (male and female, right panel in Fig 5C), suggesting a changed receptor proteolytic processing.
In mice, this switch is marked by the up-regulation of proteasome activator PA28 subunits, which alter the fragmentation of polypeptides through the proteasome and are inducible by IFN-γ [ 48].
The temperature during pyrolysis of these "thermally thin particles" is not altered significantly by fragmentation, swelling or a change of shape.
Although frequently claimed as the end-goal, restoration may often not be unachievable, because of altered hydrology, habitat fragmentation, contamination, climate change, prohibitive costs and other environmental and socio-economic boundary conditions.
The objectives of this study were to characterize the distribution of seeds in remnant fragments of the Atlantic Coastal Forest and to determine whether the species diversity, seed weight, and species composition of plant communities are altered by forest fragmentation.
However, as shown in Fig. 1, the structure of ~2 to ~22 nm thick as-deposited Ni film is altered by the fragmentation and reorganization of the Ni particles during the substrate heating and H2 plasma pretreatment stage, prior to the CNT growth process.
This reductive step has a negative impact on recovery and it should be considered that the structure of biomolecules of interest can be altered, e.g. fragmentation of antibody Fab and Fc regions [29].
