RELATIVE EFFICIENCY OF PITFALL TRAPPING VS. NOCTURNAL HAND COLLECTING IN ASSESSING SOIL-DWELLING SPIDER DIVERSITY ALONG A STRUCTURAL GRADIENT OF NEOTROPICAL HABITATS

Assessing spider diversity remains a great challenge, especially in tropical habitats where dozens of species can locally co-occur.Pitfall trapping is one of the most widely used techniques to collect spiders, but it suffers from several biases, and its accuracy likely varies with habitat complexity.In this study, we compared the efficiency of pass

An experiment was conducted with a view to obtain information of genetic parameters of variation and character association for 13 quantitative traits in a set of 64 rice cultivars of Assam.The study revealed significant differences for all the traits under study.Highest genotypic coefficient of variation was observed for the trait biological yield

We present both a scientific overview and conceptual positions concerning the challenges and assets of electrophysiological measurements in the search for the nature and functions of the human connectome.We discuss how the field has been inspired by findings and approaches from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and informed by a small nu

Abstract Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a clinical syndrome associated with cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and dyslipidemia.Its primary features include dyslipidemia, hypertension, abdominal obesity, and insulin resistance (IR).Recently, research has revealed that MetS is not only a manifestation of internal metabolic lore olivera disturb

Purpose: Unconscious bias training has become a popular intervention for eliminating discrimination in the workplace.Particularly recruitment processes are said to become fairer and more objective if gender biases are eliminated through training of personnel.However, the concept of gender bias, and particularly the idea that it can be trained away,
