Orientation to the sun by animals and its interaction with crypsis [PDF]
, 2015 1. Orientation with respect to the sun has been observed in a wide range of species and hasgenerally been interpreted in terms of thermoregulation and/or ultraviolet (UV) protection. For countershaded animals, orientation with respect to the sun may also

Waves and patterning in developmental biology: vertebrate segmentation and feather bud formation as case studies [PDF]
, 2009 In this article we will discuss the integration of developmental patterning mechanisms with waves of competency that control the ability of a homogeneous field of cells to react to pattern forming cues and generate spatially heterogeneous patterns.

The MicroRNA miR‐8 is a positive regulator of pigmentation and eclosion in Drosophila [PDF]
, 2012 Background: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short, non‐coding RNAs that post‐transcriptionally silence gene expression by binding to target mRNAs. Previous studies have identified the miRNA miR‐8 as a pleiotropic regulator of Drosophila development, controlling

Unraveling deformation mechanisms around FCC and BCC nanocontacts through slip trace and pileup topography analyses [PDF]
, 2017 Nanocontact loadings offer the potential to investigate crystal plasticity from surface slip trace emissions and distinct pileup patterns where individual atomic terraces arrange into hillocks and symmetric rosettes.

Body image and eating patterns among adolescents [PDF]
BMC Public Health, 2013 Abstract Background Data on the association between body self-perception and eating patterns among adolescents are scarce. This study assessed the association between body image and eating patterns among normal-weight, overweight and obese adolescents.

Spatially varying cis-regulatory divergence in Drosophila embryos elucidates cis-regulatory logic. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2018 Spatial patterning of gene expression is a key process in development, yet how it evolves is still poorly understood. Both cis- and trans-acting changes could participate in complex interactions, so to isolate the cis-regulatory component of patterning ...

VEGF guides angiogenic sprouting utilizing endothelial tip cell filopodia [PDF]
, 2003 Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF-A) is a major regulator of blood vessel formation and function. it controls several processes in endothelial cells, such as proliferation, survival, and migration, but it is not known how these are coordinately ...

Octopus body language: body patterns of Abdopus capricornicus during social interactions.
Marine Biology, 2023 Abstract Octopus are well known for their rapidly changing and diverse body patterning achieved through combinations of chromatic, textural and postural components. The function of octopus body patterns includes camouflage for prey ambush and predator avoidance, aposematic display to startle intruders and predators and potentially intraspecific
