AGRICULTURAL LANDSCAPES AND THE LOIRE RIVER INFLUENCE THE GENETIC STRUCTURE OF THE MARBLED NEWT IN WESTERN FRANCE

Agricultural landscapes and the Loire River influence the genetic structure of the marbled newt in Western France

Abstract Amphibians are particularly sensitive to landscape fragmentation.Potential barriers between breeding sites can negatively influence the dispersal of individuals and increase genetic structure between populations.In this 9x11 pergola study, we genotyped 10 microsatellites for 334 marbled newts (Triturus marmoratus) at 11 different locations

Adipositas & Bewegung / Obesity & Physical Activity

Most of white and brown adipocytes, in spite of their different functions storing energy and thermogenesisare contained together in subcutaneous and visceral depots.The reason for this mixture liesin the fact that adipocytes have plastic properties allowing eachto convert to theother: under chronic cold exposure,white convert into brown to hydrange
