We found that Amazons and Sailfins differed in their qualitative, but not quantitative, resistance to parasites. Amazons had worse qualitative resistance (i.e., were more likely to be infected with at least one parasite) and spent more time in the open, riskier portion of the assay arena. Parasite prevalence and load differed between our two collection

Functional evidence for cone-specific connectivity in the human retina [PDF]
NoPhysiological studies of colour vision have not yet resolved the controversial issue of how chromatic opponency is constructed at a neuronal level. Two competing theories, the cone-selective hypothesis and the random-wiring hypothesis, are currently ...

Neuronal Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Modulators from Cone Snails
Marine cone snails are a large family of gastropods that have evolved highly potent venoms for predation and defense. The cone snail venom has exceptional molecular diversity in neuropharmacologically active compounds, targeting a range of receptors, ion

Venom‐Derived Bioactive Peptides: From Toxins to Therapeutics
Venomics → Target Identification → Peptide Optimization → Therapeutic Translation Bioactive venom peptides targeting ion channels, enzymes, and receptors drive the development of next‐generation precision therapeutics. ABSTRACT Venoms are complex biochemical mixtures composed of diverse bioactive components, including proteins, enzymes, small molecules,

Theoretical and experimental studies of a novel cone-jet sensor [PDF]
Modeling of a novel cone-jet sensor using two-dimensional (2-D) finite element analysis was investigated for dimensional measurement. Theoretical and experimental studies demonstrated that a cone-jet sensor supplied with air can be used to accurately ...

Elucidating the contribution of gut‐organ axes will provide new insights for developing combined therapeutic strategies against sepsis‐associated multiple organ dysfunction. ABSTRACT Sepsis, a life‐threatening clinical syndrome precipitated by a maladaptive host response to infection, is associated with substantial morbidity and high mortality rates ...

Evidence for survival of Pleistocene climatic changes in Northern refugia by the land snail Trochoidea geyeri (Soós 1926) (Helicellinae, Stylommatophora) [PDF]
The study of organisms with restricted dispersal abilities and presence in the fossil record is particularly adequate to understand the impact of climate changes on the distribution and genetic structure of species.
