Laplacian spectral characterization of some double starlike trees [PDF]
, 2013 A tree is called double starlike if it has exactly two vertices of degree greater than two. Let $H(p,n,q)$ denote the double starlike tree obtained by attaching $p$ pendant vertices to one pendant vertex of the path $P_n$ and $q$ pendant vertices to the ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Insect Science, EarlyView.Moderate retention forestry creates structurally sharp forest edges that act as ecological filters, shaping orientation‐specific activity of ground‐dwelling arthropods. Using drift‐fence pitfall traps, we show that activity aligned with ecotones is more frequent than activity across forest–clearcut boundaries, particularly among detritivores.

Grotesque Realism and the Carnivalesque in Tom Six’s The Human Centipede (First Sequence) and The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) [PDF]
Monstrum, 2019 Argues that Tom Six's controversial, excessive first two Human Centipede films offer a critical grotesque realism that can be traced to the Bakhtinian carnivalesque.

Evolution of Strigamia centipedes (Chilopoda): a first molecular assessment of phylogeny and divergence times [PDF]
, 2017 We present a first phylogenetic and temporal framework, with biogeographical insights, for the centipedes of the genus Strigamia, which are widespread predators in the forest soils of the Northern Hemisphere and comprise the evo-devo model species ...

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding insect responses to global climate change involves identifying strategies used during past climate oscillations. Phylogeography offers a powerful framework to unravel how historical climatic and geological events have shaped the spatial genetic patterns of species, providing critical insights into evolutionary processes, whereas ...

Representation effects in the centipede game. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 We explore the effects on strategic behavior of alternative representations of a centipede game that differ in terms of complexity. In a laboratory experiment, we manipulate the way in which payoffs are presented to subjects in two different ways.

Automatic segmentation of bone structures in CBCT images
Fogorvosi Szemle, 2023 Modern surgeries are performed using transplants or implants based on surgical planning with CT images. The CT or CBCT images having bad initial quality greatly decrease the performance of the processing algorithms and affect the quality of the ...

Philodryas trilineata (Argentinean mousehole snake). Diet [PDF]
, 2013 Philodryas trilineata is a large (maximum length = 200 cm) species endemic to the Monte biogeographic region in western Argentina (Giraudo and Scrocchi 2002. Smithson. Herpetol. Inform. Serv. 132: 1-53). The diet of P.

Spectral properties of orbital polarons in Mott insulators
, 2008 We address the spectral properties of Mott insulators with orbital degrees of freedom, and investigate cases where the orbital symmetry leads to Ising-like superexchange in the orbital sector. The paradigm of a hole propagating by its coupling to quantum
