MINIMIZING HONEY BEE EXPOSURE TO PESTICIDES

Minimizing Honey Bee Exposure to Pesticides

Protecting honey bees and other pollinators from pesticide impacts is important to the sustainability of agriculture.Consequently, pesticide applicators must determine if there is a clear hazard to managed or wild populations of bees.Potential exposure of bees to pesticides can vary greatly depending on the type of pesticide, formulation, applicati

Genomic signatures of local directional selection in a high gene flow marine organism; the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)

Abstract Background Marine fishes have been shown to display low levels of genetic structuring and associated high levels of gene flow, suggesting shallow evolutionary trajectories and, possibly, limited or lacking adaptive divergence among local populations.We investigated variation in 98 gene-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for

Abolished ketamine effects on the spontaneous excitatory postsynaptic current of medial prefrontal cortex neurons in GluN2D knockout mice

Abstract Ketamine, a non-competitive antagonist of the N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), generates a rapidly-acting antidepressant effect.It exerts psychomimetic INCENSE COCONUT effects, yet demands a further investigation of its mechanism.Previous research showed that ketamine did no longer promote hyperlocomotion in GluN2D knockout (KO) mice
