Maternal alcohol consumption during pregnancy can cause a series of developmental disorders in the fetus called FAS (fetal baby moxxie alcohol syndrome).In the present study we exposed zebrafish embryos to 1% and 2% alcohol and observed the morphology of heart and blood vessels during and after exposure to investigate motor function alterations, an
Genome-wide analyses of genomic diversity, population structure and selection signatures in Italian turkey populations
Italian local turkey populations are an important source of genetic diversity that should be preserved through an in vivo approach.Whole genome sequencing (WGS) and genotyping datasets were used to assess genetic variability within and across populations, to perform a genome-wide comparative analysis among populations and to identify selection sign
Behind the scenes of streamflow model performance
Streamflow is often the only variable used to evaluate hydrological models.In a previous international comparison study, eight research groups followed an identical protocol to calibrate 12 hydrological models using observed streamflow of catchments within the Meuse basin.In the current study, we quantify the differences in five states and fluxes o
