THE FIRST BLUSH OF TASTING: PORCELLIO SCABER ISOPOD AND ENCHYTRAEUS ALBIDUS ENCHYTRAEID PREFER THE LEAF LITTER OF INVASIVE OVER NATIVE PLANT SPECIES

The first blush of tasting: Porcellio scaber isopod and Enchytraeus albidus enchytraeid prefer the leaf litter of invasive over native plant species

The establishment of invasive plants is a very serious threat from an ecological point of view, Pump through decreasing biodiversity and a changing ecosystem, which affect decomposition processes.We carried out no-choice feeding experiments with Porcellio scaber and Enchytraeus albidus individuals.Three different plant species (Acer platanoides as

Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell line, IBMS-iPSC-014-05, from a female autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease patient carrying a common mutation of R803X in PKD2

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is one of the most commonly inherited forms of polycystic kidney disease, and is characterized by the growth Pump of numerous cysts in both kidneys.Here we generated an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a 63-year-old female ADPKD pati
