Non-target attack of the native stink bug, Podisus maculiventris by Trissolcus japonicus, comes with fitness costs and trade-offs

Accidentally introduced parasitoids can provide biological control of the invasive pest they followed but could also pose a threat to native species if they are not specialists.

We tested how intermittent host shift and

This is an approach to (i) testing the credibility of the above dating methods by their reciprocal age control and (ii) further implications to regional geochronology and to dating campaigns of alluvial se

Effects of tamoxifen on normal breast tissue histological composition : Results from a randomised six-arm placebo-controlled trial in healthy women

Tamoxifen reduces mammographic density, a proxy for therapy response, but little is known about its effects in remodelling normal breast tissue. Our study, a substudy within the double-blinded dose-determination trial KARISMA, investigated tamoxifen-specific changes in breast tissue composition an
