   Evaluation of the levels of reactive di-carbonyl compounds and polyaromatic hydrocarbons in processed Atlantic horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus)

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Science, Technology, Innovation and Development • Authors: O.T. Adeyemi --- Department of Biochemistry, Bencarson Senior School of Medicine, Nigeria O. Osilesi --- Department of Biochemistry, Bencarson Senior School of Medicine, Nigeria O.O.

   “You are not always what you eat”: diet did not override intrinsic nestmate recognition cues in Argentine ants from two supercolonies in South Africa

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Zoology • Authors: Natasha P Mothapo --- DST-NRF Centre of Excellence for Invasion Biology, Department of Botany and Zoology, South Africa Theresa C Wossler --- DST-NRF Centre of Excellence for Invasion Biology, Department of Botany and Zoology, South Africa

   Nestmate recognition in ants is based on cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs), which are heritable and may also be acquired from the environment (i.e. diet and nest environment). In Argentine ants (Linepithema humile), diet and a homogenous environment have been shown to...

   Risk assessment of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in the sediments of the Ekulu River in Enugu State in Nigeria

   Item type: Journal Article • Journal: African Journal of Aquatic Science • Authors: Uzochukwu C Ugochukwu --- , Nigeria Onyechi H Onuora --- , Nigeria Leonard Kurumeh --- , Nigeria Uchenna I Mbakwe --- , Nigeria Obiageli J Okolo --- , Nigeria Amaka L Onuorah --- , Nigeria

   The human health and ecological risks resulting from exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in the Ekulu River sediments were estimated in this study. The Ekulu River receives pollutants potentially containing polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from runoff from automotive workshops...
