EVOLUTIONARY AND NATURAL HISTORY OF THE TURTLE FROG, MYOBATRACHUS GOULDII, A BIZARRE MYOBATRACHID FROG IN THE SOUTHWESTERN AUSTRALIAN BIODIVERSITY HOTSPOT.

Southwest Australia (SWA) is a global biodiversity hotspot and a centre of diversity and endemism for the Australo-Papuan myobatrachid frogs.Myobatrachus gouldii (the turtle frog) has a highly derived morphology associated with its forward burrowing behaviour, largely subterranean habit, and unusual mode of reproduction.Its sister genera Metacrinia

Background/purpose: Proliferation-associated protein 2G4 (PA2G4) has alternative transcriptional and translational initiation.One dominant transcript ENST00000303305 could be translated into two protein isoforms (PA2G4-P42 and PA2G4-P48).In this study, we aimed to explore the effects of PA2G4-P42 and PA2G4-P48 on the proliferation of head and neck

In the city 402 of Blantyre, much of the generated municipal waste is biowaste, typically mixed with other waste fractions and disposed at the city’s dumpsite.Energy and nutrients could be recovered; however, with many biowaste options available, choosing what technology to implement is difficult.Selecting Organic Waste Treatment Technology (
