The etiology of reptilian viral diseases can be attributed to a wide range of viruses occurring across different genera and families. Thirty to forty years ago, studies of viruses in reptiles focused mainly on the zoonotic potential of arboviruses in ...

Arenaviruses are bi-segmented negative-stranded RNA viruses, which were until recently only detected in rodents and humans. Now highly divergent arenaviruses have been identified in boid snakes with inclusion body disease (IBD). Here, we describe the identification of a new species and variants of the highly divergent arenaviruses, which were detected ...

Knowledge on the structure and composition of the haematopoietic tissue (HT) is essential to understand the basic immune functions of the immune system in any species. For reptiles, it is extremely limited, hence we undertook an in-depth in situ investigation of the HT (bone marrow, thymus, spleen, lymphatic tissue of the alimentary tract) in the ...

Application of Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Patients with Concussion in Clinical Emergency.
Concussion syndrome is a common disease in neurosurgery, and its incidence ranks first among all traumatic brain injuries. Cognitive dysfunction is one of the most common functional impairments in concussion syndrome. Neuroimaging and content assessments on concussion patients and healthy control subjects are used in this study, which uses MRI ...

Hybrid Life: Integrating biological, artificial, and cognitive systems
Hybrid Life brings attention to some recent developments within the Artificial Life community, focusing on the integration of three themes: theories of systems and agents, hybrid augmentation combining living and artificial systems, and hybrid interactions among artificial and biological systems.

Fission–fusion dynamics in the social networks of a North American pitviper
Western diamondback rattlesnakes (Crotalus atrox) exhibit modular networks centered on reproductive females and stemming from fission/fusion dynamics related to annual cycles and communal denning. Abstract Many animal species exist in fission–fusion societies, where the size and composition of conspecific groups change spatially and temporally. To help

From evolutionary ecosystem simulations to computational models of human behavior
Taking inspiration from evolutionary ecosystems which combine evolutionary computation with agent‐based modeling provides a novel methodology for the scientific investigation of human cognition, making new predictions, and improving our understanding of human behaviors.

Modelling torus behaviour in a fish farming cage
A Yellowtail school that rotates around a common axis with an empty core was reproduced by a simulation model. (a) a projection of the school on the x–z plane and (b) a projection of the school on the x–y plane. Abstract Since it is not usually possible to observe all of the fish in a school, it is difficult to monitor farmed fish in a crowded cage ...
