The Biological Bulletin, 1900 HAVING had living lampreys of various ages under observation in the biological laboratory of Johns Hopkins University, I present the following facts as to the ability of these animals to live in a very limited space. I received, about the middle of May, from Ithaca, N. Y., two lots of lamprey eggs, about six dozen eggs in each lot. They were shipped by

Orangulas: effect of scheduled visual enrichment on behavioral and endocrine aspects of a captive orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) [PDF]
, 2020 Captivity may have adverse effects on captive great apes, as they spend much more of their time engaged in foraging and other activities in the wild. Enrichment interventions have the potential to alleviate the adverse effects of captivity by introducing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study investigates how endothelial monolayers balance cohesion and plasticity during mechanical stimulation. In HUVECs, shear stress induces a tension‐sensitive intermediate state in which junctional VE‐cadherin and actomyosin relaxation levels coordinate actin/integrin remodeling. This rapid, reversible state strengthens cell junctions, preserves

Water bathing alters threat perception in starlings. [PDF]
, 2012 The majority of bird taxa perform water bathing, but little is known about the adaptive value of this behaviour. If bathing is important for feather maintenance then birds that have not bathed should have poorer feather condition, compromised escape ...

Adult Sex Ratio as a Demographic Feedback Linking Mating Systems, Parental Care, and Evolution
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Breeding systems are some of the most diverse social behavior, and our team is investigation the evolutionary causes of this diversity. This review summarises our research carried out at the University of Bath. We argue that demographic components of wild populations, especially the adult sex ratio, plays a key role driving breeding system variation ...

Digging the pupfish out of its hole: risk analyses to guide harvest of Devils Hole pupfish for captive breeding. [PDF]
, 2014 The Devils Hole pupfish is restricted to one wild population in a single aquifer-fed thermal pool in the Desert National Wildlife Refuge Complex. Since 1995 the pupfish has been in a nearly steady decline, where it was perched on the brink of extinction ...

A General and Efficient Framework for the Rapid Design of Miniaturized, Wideband, and High‐Bit RIS
Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.A general and efficient framework is proposed for the rapid design of high‐performance reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs). This framework integrates advanced antenna design techniques and incorporates various load types, quantities, and values to achieve the design of high‐performance RISs.
