Using Noninvasive Magnetic Resonance Imaging for the Visualization of Embryos of the Viviparous Goodeidae (Pisces; Cyprinodontiformes) at Different Developmental Stages
The study of prenatal interactions of embryonic viviparous Cyprinodontidae (Pisces) can illuminate the evolution of this reproductive mode. Yet the small size, relative scarcity, and conservation status severely limit this potential. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can solve or palliate these…

Chemical Composition and Binary Combination Effect of Citrus sinensis (Rutaceae) and Callistemon rigidus (Myrtaceae) Essential Oils Against the Malarial Vector Anopheles gambiae s.l. (Diptera: Culicidae)
Mosquito vector elimination using botanicals is recommended nowadays because they are biodegradable and less harmful to humans and nontarget organisms. In this context, binary combinations of Citrus sinensis and Callistemon rigidus essential oils were assayed against the larvae and adults of…
