In some leaf-mining caterpillars there are crochets present on the abdominal wall which are reduced prolegs, while other leaf-mining species lack the crochets entirely.
Rapid development time may be an advantage in leaf-mining species, which are heavily attacked by parasitoid wasps throughout their development (Connor and Taverner 1997; Whiteman et al. 2011).
We conclude that a small fraction (9%) of the shallowest-nesting mining bee species is likely to die from soil heating by wildfire.
Furthermore, a subset of orthologs was used to characterize putative druggable targets and expose complications of in silico drug target mining in species with indefinite host-ranges.
In this respect, a fingerprint contig can be considered a 'genomic region of interest', which is the starting point in traditional SNP mining in species for which a genome draft is available.
Given our set of conserved putative regulatory sequences for the Elegans group, it will be exciting to mine for species-specific motif inventions.
The advent of new sequencing technologies could make it possible to mine even species-/tissue- specific miRNAs with low abundance, and they havebeen successfully used on Arabidopsis thaliana, Oryza sativa, Poplus tricocarpa, Medicago tuncatula, Gossypiumhirsutum, Zea mays, Arachis hypogaea L., Solanumlycopersicum, Citrus trifoliate, Vitis vinifera and Vitis amurensis Rupr.
Uranium mining puts those species in the crosshairs".
Mr. Obama directed Mr. Salazar to reverse eight years of Bush administration actions on lands, energy, mining and endangered species and to end a culture of coziness with industries the agency was supposed to regulate.
First, I quantified the effects of peat mining on amphibian species richness and abundance in bog remnants adjacent to mining activity and unmined bogs.
Coconut farming, mining, and introduced species have caused serious disturbance to the native vegetation.
