Domestication Effects on Stress Induced Steroid Secretion and Adrenal Gene Expression in Chickens.

abstract：:The mosquito, Aedes baisasi, which inhabits brackish mangrove swamps, is known to feed on fish. However, its host assemblage has not been investigated at the species level. We amplified and sequenced the cytochrome oxidase subunit I barcoding regions as well as some other regions from blood-fed females to identify hos...
