Central America is characterized by the subduction of the oceanic Cocos Plate underneath the Caribbean Plate and Panama Microplate along the Middle America Trench, in a setting that is transitional between oceanic island arc and continental active margin subduction. In ...

During the past 10 years, large developments and improvements on the technical possibilities and operational availability of full-size, Class III deep ocean work ROVs took place (≫ 3000 m). This is especially true for the marine science community. Where in the early 90'...

Despite their frequent occurrence and strong impacts on native biota, biological invasions can long remain undetected. One reason for this is that an invasive species can be morphologically similar to either native species or introduced species previously established in...

Abstract The presented investigation focuses on the correlation between concrete physical quantities and resulting modifications. The idea is that not the different manufacturing processes itself produce the modifications but the generated physical and chemical loads. T...

Abstract Despite one SINE retrotransposon insertion polymorphism (sRTIP) in the vertebrae development-associated (VRTN) gene was identified in pigs, the structural variations (SVs) in VRTN gene and its proximal flank regions were largely unknown. VRTN genic and flanking...
