Exposure of tadpoles to bisphenol A and ethinylestradiol does not influence the behaviour of frogs in the tonic immobility test

The European Zoological Journal
Endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs), such as bisphenol A (BPA) and ethinylestradiol (EE2), are widespread pollutants that can interfere with the action of endogenous hormones and thus affect the development and behaviour of animals.

Cascading carry-over effects of early activity phenotypes in golden eagles [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Early-life conditions are often associated with fitness of animals later in life. Although recent studies show that individual characteristics during development affect the formation of early behavioural phenotypes, we have a limited understanding of the

Chemotherapy for Spinal Cord Intramedullary Pediatric Low‐Grade Glioma—A Systematic Literature Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric intramedullary low‐grade gliomas (PIMLGGs) are rare neoplasms that present unique clinical and management challenges. Although surgery remains the primary tool for tissue diagnosis and decompression, complete gross‐total resection is frequently unfeasible due to the infiltrative nature of these lesions.

Behavioral Carry-Over Effects and Power Considerations in Crossover Trials [PDF]

, 2023
Thesis (Master's)--University of Washington, 2023The carry-over effect remains an outstanding concern in crossover trials when washout periods cannot sufficiently diminish their impacts.

The Fate of Orally Ingested Microplastics During Cooperative Brood Care in Two Social Hymenoptera Species

Ecology and Evolution
Anthropogenic pollutants contribute to insect decline in terrestrial ecosystems. Microplastics (MP), a major pollutant, are already present in all ecosystems and expected to further accumulate.

Effect of breeding performance on the distribution and activity budgets of a predominantly resident population of black‐browed albatrosses

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Pelagic seabirds breeding at high latitudes generally split their annual cycle between reproduction, migration, and wintering. During the breeding season, they are constrained in their foraging range due to reproduction while during winter months, and ...

Reduced habitat quality increases intrinsic but not ecological costs of reproduction

Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Although the costs of reproduction are predicted to vary with the quality of the breeding habitat thereby affecting population dynamics and life‐history trade‐offs, empirical evidence for this pattern remains sparse and equivocal.

Adaptation and Carry Over Effects of Extreme Sporadic Heat Stress in Culex Mosquitoes.

Acta Tropica
Mosquitoes, as temperature-sensitive ectothermic vectors, exhibit temperature-dependence. This study investigates Culex pipiens pallens (Cx. pallens) responses to abrupt temperature increases and their implications on mosquito physiology.

Exercise Capacity, Physical Activity, Fatigue, and Neurocognitive Function in Adult Survivors of Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are at risk of reduced exercise capacity, decreased physical activity levels, persistent fatigue, and neurocognitive deficits. The aim was to investigate exercise capacity and physical activity levels of adult survivors of childhood ALL and their associations with ...

CrossCarry: An R package for the analysis of data from a crossover design with GEE

SoftwareX
Crossover designs are widely applied in medicine, agriculture, and other biological sciences, yet their analysis remains challenging due to longitudinal observations within each unit and the presence of carry-over effects. Despite their prevalence, there
