INTERSPECIFIC VARIATION IN TOTAL PHENOLIC CONTENT IN TEMPERATE BROWN ALGAE

Marine algae synthesize secondary metabolites such as polyphenols that function as defense and protection mechanisms.Among brown algae, Fucales and Dictyotales (Phaeophyceae) contain the highest levels of phenolic compounds, mainly phlorotannins, that play multiple roles.Four temperate brown algae (Cystoseira amentacea, Cystoseira compressa, Dictyo

Rodent pups use vocalizations to communicate with one or both parents in biparental species, such as California mice (Peromyscus californicus).Previous studies have shown California mice developmentally exposed to endocrine disrupting chemicals, bisphenol A (BPA) or ethinyl estradiol (EE), demonstrate later compromised parental behaviors.Reductions
