COLONY-LEVEL 3D PHOTOGRAMMETRY REVEALS THAT TOTAL LINEAR EXTENSION AND INITIAL GROWTH DO NOT SCALE WITH COMPLEX MORPHOLOGICAL GROWTH IN THE BRANCHING CORAL, ACROPORA CERVICORNIS

Colony-Level 3D Photogrammetry Reveals That Total Linear Extension and Initial Growth Do Not Scale With Complex Morphological Growth in the Branching Coral, Acropora cervicornis

The ability to quantify changes in the structural complexity of reefs and individual coral colonies that build them is vital to understanding, managing, and restoring the function of these ecosystems.However, traditional methods for quantifying coral growth in situ fail to accurately quantify the diversity of morphologies observed both HIGH WHEY CH

The effects of feed supplementing Akkemansia muciniphila on incidence, severity, and gut microbiota of necrotic enteritis in chickens

ABSTRACT: Akkermansia muciniphila (AM) is a mucin-degrading anaerobe, exerting beneficial effects on gut integrity improvement, inflammatory HIGH WHEY CHOCOLATE alleviation, and metabolic regulations in humans.Excess amounts of mucin and mucogenesis in the gut facilitate the development of necrotic enteritis (NE) in chickens.The study aimed to eval

Meta-analysis indicates better climate adaptation and mitigation performance of hybrid engineering-natural coastal defence measures

Abstract Traditional approaches to coastal defence often struggle to reduce the risks of accelerated climate change.Incorporating nature-based components into coastal defences may enhance adaptation to climate change with added benefits, but we need to compare their Mattress Protector performance against conventional hard measures.We conduct a meta

A comparison of sexual behaviour and attitudes of healthy adolescents in a Danish high school in 1982, 1996, and 2001

Abstract Aim To assess changes in sexual behaviour among students at a high school in Denmark from 1982 to 2001.Methods An anonymous self-administered questionnaire was used to compare data from three identical cross-sectional surveys performed in 1982, 1996, and 2001.Results Girls: More girls reported their first sexual intercourse before their 16
