ISSUES AT THE RURAL-URBAN FRINGE: THE LAND USE DEBATE--SITUATIONAL BACKGROUND



Multiple male and female reproductive strategies and the presence of a polyandric mating system in the termite Reticulitermes labralis (Isoptera:Rhinotermitidae)

Reproductive systems of termite colonies may involve the number of individuals in the reproductive caste and the copulatory selectivity of reproductive individuals (i.e., polyandry or polygamy), both of which directly impact the fertility and genetic diversity of the colony.Polygamy is widespread in the lower termites, whereas polyandry appears to

RETRACTED: Spermatogonial stem-cell-derived neural-like cell transplantation enhances the functional recovery of a rat spinal cord injury model: characterization of evoked potentials

Severe spinal cord injuries (SCIs) usually result in the temporary or permanent impairment of strength, sensation or autonomic functions below the sites of injuries.To date, a large number of therapeutic approaches have been used to ameliorate SCIs, and subsequent stem cell transplantation appears to be a promising strategy.The aim of this study wa
