The transition from aquatic to terrestrial environments represents a significant event in the history of evolution. For this transition to occur, animals had to adapt their morphology, physiology and locomotory skills to handle the challenges and interacti ...
Over the last decade, Low Intensity Focused Ultrasound Stimulation (LIFUS) has emerged as an attractive technology to modulate the activity of deep neural targets without invasive procedures. However, the underlying mechanisms by which ultrasonic waves can ...
For several decades, the abundance and community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates have been studied to assess the biological quality of aquatic ecosystems. Procedures aiming at studying the whole of macroinvertebrate communities were mainly designed ...
Introduction. Aquatic oligochaetes represent valuable indicators of the quality of sediments of watercourses and lakes, but their difficult identification based on morphological criteria compromises their more common use for eco-diagnostic analyses. This i ...
