NAPHTHALENE EXERTS SUBSTANTIAL NONTARGET EFFECTS ON SOIL NITROGEN MINERALIZATION PROCESSES IN A SUBALPINE FOREST SOIL: A MICROCOSM STUDY.

Naphthalene exerts substantial nontarget effects on soil nitrogen mineralization processes in a subalpine forest soil: A microcosm study.

Naphthalene has been widely used to test the functional roles of soil fauna, but its nontarget effects remain uncertain in various soils.To determine whether there is DESKS a potential nontarget effect on soil biochemical properties in subalpine forest soil, soils in a subalpine forest on the western Qinghai-Tibet Plateau were treated by naphthalen

On the Binormal Predictive Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve for the Joint Assessment of Positive and Negative Predictive Values

The predictive receiver operating characteristic (PROC) curve is a diagrammatic format with application in the statistical evaluation of probabilistic disease forecasts.The PROC curve differs from the more well-known receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve in that it provides a basis for evaluation using metrics defined conditionally on the o

Early Queen Development in Honey Bees: Social Context and Queen Breeder Source Affect Gut Microbiota and Associated Metabolism

ABSTRACT The highly social honey bee has dense populations but a significantly reduced repertoire of immune genes relative to solitary species, suggesting a greater reliance on social immunity.Here we investigate immune gene expression and gut microbial succession in queens during colony introduction.Recently mated queens were placed into an active
