Introduction
1 Introduction Colette Henry Business and enterprise, although now well established as taught disciplines in their own right, are still relatively new phenomena within veterinary scholarship. Current veterinary education curricula,…
Oxidative Stress and Its Role in the Synchronization of Circadian Rhythms in Crustaceans: An Ecological Perspective
Fig. 2.1 Confocal image of cryptochrome (CRY) immunoreactivity in the Procambarus clarkii brain at 19:00. The image corresponds to optical sections of a whole-mount preparation. Neurons of the protocebral anterior…
