Abstract The causes of sex determination in amphipods are believed to be multi-factorial. Sex determination in Echinogammarus marinus (Leach, 1815) has been reported to be linked with feminising parasites. To date, however, no such studies have linked this species with environmental sex determination (ESD). A field study and laboratory breeding experiments were conducted to determine the inf…
Extraordinary and stable long wavelength emission centered at 685 nm from the yard-glass shaped boron nitride nanotubes YG-BNNTs was observed in their cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The mechanism for this near-red light emission at 685 nm is attributed to the periodical nature of the BNNT units with regular lattice defects. The visible-light emission from YG-B…
