Delimiting cryptic species within the brown-banded bamboo shark, Chiloscyllium punctatum in the Indo-Australian region with mitochondrial DNA and genome-wide SNP approaches

Abstract Background Delimiting cryptic species in elasmobranchs is a major challenge in modern taxonomy due the lack of available phenotypic features.Employing stand-alone genetics in splitting a cryptic species may prove problematic for further studies and for implementing conservation management.In this study, we examined mitochondrial DNA and ge

Appraising the synergistic use of recycled asphalt pavement and recycled concrete aggregate for the production of sustainable asphalt concrete

Material obtained from the demolition of concrete structures and milling of flexible pavements has nail care the highest potential for recyclability.This study aimed to evaluate the performance of hot mix asphalt with the concurrent use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA).Contents of RAP and RCA were varied from
