Animals in the marketing media deceive us about their survival in the wild27. 4. 2018 The most “charismatic” species have a high status in conservation biology and it is commonly claimed that these species experience a privileged level of attention, often at the expense of other,...
How food quality characteristics of bacterial prey modulate growth and community dynamics of bacterivorous flagellates?8. 2. 2018 Communities of heterotrophic nanoflagellates (HNF, cell sizes from 2-8 µm) represent a considerable part of plankton associations and are the most numerous predators of bacteria. However, different...
