Source amplitude increases with body‐mass across avian genera

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Amplitude, or intensity, of sound is a fundamental characteristic of acoustic communication, with relevance in many scientific fields. The amplitude of an animal's acoustic signal at its source (‘source amplitude’) may be particularly relevant in the field of acoustic allometry, where relationships between species' physical and acoustic features (e.g ...

The magnitude of cryptic insect diversity in one tropical rainforest

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
We detected 214 cryptic species out of a total of 2006 species (10.6%) examined from 22 focal insect taxa in 1500 ha tropical rainforest in Panama. The percentage of cryptic species varied greatly among assemblages (0%–19%), with half of the assemblages devoid of cryptic species and the highest proportions of cryptics in Pieridae and Formicidae ...

Do the biological characteristics of trout (Salmo trutta) smolts influence their spring migration timing and maiden marine sojourn duration?

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Anadromous salmonids migrate seaward to exploit feeding and growth opportunities in marine habitats, yet how smolt biological characteristics influence their marine migratory behavior remains poorly understood. This study used 9 years of trout (Salmo trutta) population monitoring data from 15,595 tagged age‐0+ parr, 1033 smolts detected ...

The physical mechanism of beam formation in dolphin’s biosonar [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
作为群居的海洋哺乳动物,齿鲸类拥有着与众不同且功能强大的生物声呐系统。其生物声呐系统经过自然界的长期演化和优胜劣汰,性能已高度优化。海豚的回声定位声波能够在百米内探测到厘米级大小的物体,并对毫米级厚度的金属目标做出辨别,此外还能在探测移动目标的时候对其波束特性进行调整,其性能远远优于目前世界上任何的人工声呐。其生物声呐系统卓越的性能引起了世界上声学研究者强烈的兴趣,不但使得齿鲸类生物声呐研究成为近年来生物声学界以及国际海洋声学界的焦点,还成为新型海洋技术开发值得关注的高新科技领域 ...

Validated Sandwich ELISA for the Quantification of von Willebrand Factor in Rabbit Plasma

open access: yesBiomarker Insights, 2010
von Willebrand Factor (vWF) is a multimeric plasma protein important for platelet plug formation. As part of its haemostatic role, it is released from endothelial cells during vascular stress or injury and is considered an excellent biomarker of ...
