Seasonal Variation in the Diet of Migratory Shorebirds Wintering in the Bijagós...

As on intertidal flats across the globe, the migratory shorebirds that spend most of their annual cycle in the Bijagós Archipelago, Guinea-Bissau, feed on macro zoobenthic prey buried in the intertidal soft sediments. Understanding the diet of shorebirds throughout the period of residence in the Bijagós can help to under stand the degree of their trophic flexibility. In this study, we first reconstruct the diet...

We aimed to evaluate the contribution of CTNNA1 and CTNND1 germline variants to HDGC, as well as to compare the frequencies of CDH1 and CTNNA1 (and eventually CTNND1) germline variants between patients with ...
