OF FERAL AND OBEDIENT COWS: Colonization as Domestication in the Paraguayan Chaco
ABSTRACT In the Paraguayan Chaco, cattle evoke images of power, prosperity, and celebration, but they also trigger one of the quickest deforestation processes in the world. The presence of cattle in the region has deep historical roots, dating back to the beginning of the colonization process, when the establishment of a double economy based on cattle ...

Epilepsy and its neurobehavioral comorbidities: Insights gained from animal models
Abstract It is well established that epilepsy is associated with numerous neurobehavioral comorbidities, with a bidirectional relationship; people with epilepsy have an increased incidence of depression, anxiety, learning and memory difficulties, and numerous other psychosocial challenges, and the occurrence of epilepsy is higher in individuals with ...

Abstract Earth kilns are still used for charcoal production in the Eastern Mediterranean and worldwide. Until 2016, around 1,600 tons of charcoal were produced in Israel and the Palestinian territories in about 400 traditional earth kilns that were operated in about the same manner for the last 400 years.

Anticipated effects of abiotic environmental change on intraspecific social interactions
ABSTRACT Social interactions are ubiquitous across the animal kingdom. A variety of ecological and evolutionary processes are dependent on social interactions, such as movement, disease spread, information transmission, and density‐dependent reproduction and survival.

Abstract Modern hydrothermal vent communities are based on chemosynthesis by microbial primary producers. Molecular phylogenetic divergence estimates indicate that many of the dominant vent taxa arose during the Cenozoic and Cretaceous; however, the fossil record of vent communities from these time periods is poor.

Invertebrate zoogeomorphology: A review and conceptual framework for rivers
Invertebrates affect the transport of sediment in rivers but are often overlooked due to their small size. Diverse behaviors result in significant effects on fluvial geomorphology. Abstract Invertebrates are important sediment engineers, making up for their small body size with abundance and behavioral diversity.

Genetic factors for short life span associated with evolution of the loss of flight ability
Positively selected genes at the branches of interest. Abstract Acquisition or loss of flying ability is evolutionarily linked with maximum life span (MLS) in mammals and birds. Although ecological factors, such as extrinsic mortality, may lead to either shortened or extended life spans through natural selection, MLS is influenced by complex molecular ...

Methane fermentation is exposed to inhibitors, which can retard the process and cause failure. In this review, based on 168 articles, we present a summary of the up‐to‐date research on the inhibition of anaerobic processes by some specific toxicants: ammonia, sulfides, ions of light metals, heavy metals, antibiotics, ethylene and acetylene ...
