TL;DR: The isolation of a myotropic substance, proctolin, associated with the innervation of the viscera of the cockroach, Periplaneta americana, is reported and was homogeneous on paper and thin-layer chromatography and on high-voltage paper electrophoresis at pH 3·5 and 6·4.

TL;DR: The study shows that adding sources of long-chain fatty acids to the diet in the form of processed oilseeds can be an effective means of reducing methane emissions, however, for someOilseeds such as SS or FS, the reduction in methane can be at the expense of diet digestibility.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used Mahalanobis typicality images of both mature and young rubber trees to identify pixels where rubber tree growth had the highest probability of occurring and sub-national statistical data on rubber tree areas to map the distribution of rubber tree growing across this mainland Southeast Asia landscape.

TL;DR: Until the absorption and metabolic fate of anthocyanins in vivo is unravelled, it would be unwise to conclude that a high consumption of them will reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Abstract: Anthocyanins are the largest group of water-soluble pigments in the plant kingdom and belong to the family of compounds known as flavonoids. Major sources of anthocyanins are blueberries, cherries, raspberries, strawberries, black currants, purple grapes and red wine. In recent years several studies have shown that anthocyanins display a wide range of biological activities including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and anti-carcinogenic activities. In addition they display a variety of effects on blood vessels, platelets and lipoproteins able to reduce the risk of coronary heart diseases. However, until the absorption and metabolic fate of anthocyanins in vivo is unravelled, it would be unwise to conclude that a high consumption of them will reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Long-term intervention trials must be properly designed and carried out to provide definite proof. In the meantime a more complete knowledge of the identity of anthocyanin metabolites and their tissue distribution should be reached.

TL;DR: A coordinated continental-scale field experiment was used to compare the biomass yield of monocultures and four species mixtures associated with intensively managed agricultural grassland systems and found that mixtures maintained a resistance to weed invasion over at least 3 years.
Abstract: 1.A coordinated continental-scale field experiment across 31 sites was used to compare the biomass yield of monocultures and four species mixtures associated with intensively managed agricultural grassland systems. To increase complementarity in resource use, each of the four species in the experimental design represented a distinct functional type derived from two levels of each of two functional traits, nitrogen acquisition (N2-fixing legume or nonfixing grass) crossed with temporal development (fast-establishing or temporally persistent). Relative abundances of the four functional types in mixtures were systematically varied at sowing to vary the evenness of the same four species in mixture communities at each site and sown at two levels of seed density. 2.Across multiple years, the total yield (including weed biomass) of the mixtures exceeded that of the average monoculture in >97% of comparisons. It also exceeded that of the best monoculture (transgressive overyielding) in about 60% of sites, with a mean yield ratio of mixture to best-performing monoculture of 1·07 across all sites. Analyses based on yield of sown species only (excluding weed biomass) demonstrated considerably greater transgressive overyielding (significant at about 70% of sites, ratio of mixture to best-performing monoculture = 1·18). 3.Mixtures maintained a resistance to weed invasion over at least 3 years. In mixtures, median values indicate
