A Comparison of Competitive-Orientation Measures [PDF]

, 1991
We compared two sport-specific measures of competitive orientation, the Sport Orientation Questionnaire (SOQ; Gill & Deeter, 1988) and the Competitive Orientation Inventory (COI; Veasley, 1986), and an alternative 4-item version of the COI.

Population Ecology of Freshwater Mussels Hyridella narracanensis and H. drapeta in South‐Eastern Australia

Freshwater Biology, Volume 70, Issue 8, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Freshwater mussels are in decline worldwide, and their conservation is limited by a lack of understanding of species ecology and biology, particularly in the southern hemisphere. Hyridella narracanensis is a threatened species which is co‐distributed with a more abundant congener, H. drapeta.

Evolution and control of the phase competition morphology in a manganite film

, 2015
The competition among different phases in perovskite manganites is pronounced since their energies are very close under the interplay of charge, spin, orbital and lattice degrees of freedom.

A new species of Characidium (Characiformes: Crenuchidae) from the Iguaçu National Park, Rio Iguaçu basin, Paraná, Brazil

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 2, Page 454-465, August 2025.
Abstract A new species of Characidium is described from the Iguaçu National Park, Brazil. The new species can be diagnosed from the congeners by the absence of conspicuous vertical bars, blotches and spots along the sides of the body, the presence of a scaled isthmus and adipose fin, a series of scales below lateral line and the presence of a thin dark

Contrasting Phylogeographic Patterns of Sandy vs. Rocky Sympatric Sister Species of Supralittoral Tylos Isopods in Chile

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.
We used mitochondrial markers to discover highly contrasting phylogeographic patterns in two sister species of supralittoral isopods (genus Tylos) that have largely overlapping distributions along the coast of Chile. Tylos chilensis shows evidence of multiple relatively deep divergence events leading to geographically restricted lineages that appear to

Allozyme and mitochondrial DNA variability within the New Zealand damselfly genera Xanthocnemis, Austrolestes, and Ischnura (Odonata) [PDF]

, 2007
We collected larval damselflies from 17 sites in the North, South and Chatham Islands, and tested the hypotheses that: (1) genetic markers (e.g., allozymes, mtDNA) would successfully ¬discriminate taxa; and (2) the dispersal capabilities of adult ...

T cell memory response to MPXV infection exhibits greater effector function and migratory potential compared to MVA-BN vaccination

Nature Communications
In 2022, a global mpox outbreak occurred, and remains a concern today. The T cell memory response to MPXV (monkeypox virus) infection has not been fully investigated.
