An integrated closed system for fish-plankton aquaculture in Amazonian fresh water

open access: yesAnimal, 2014
A prototype of an integrated closed system for fish-plankton aquaculture was developed in Iquitos (Peruvian Amazonia) in order to cultivate the Tiger Catfish, Pseudoplatystoma punctifer (Castelnau, 1855). This freshwater recirculating system consisted of

Domestication of Crop Metabolomes: Desired and Unintended Consequences.

open access: yesTrends in Plant Science, 2021
The majority of the crops and vegetables of today were domesticated from their wild progenitors within the past 12 000 years. Considerable research effort has been expended on characterizing the genes undergoing positive and negative selection during the

Thermochemical Micro‐Explosion for Prompt Thrombolysis via Proximal Injection of Liquid Alkali Metal

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We report a micro‐explosive thermochemical thrombolysis (METCT) therapy via injectable liquid alkali metal encapsulated in dimethyl silicone (LAM@oil). METCT enables prompt and safe vascular recanalization within 90 s. Critically, the LAM@oil system demonstrates significantly higher thrombolytic efficacy compared to clinically available thrombolytic ...

Ustilago and the accidental domestication of maize [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Maize is the essential crop of the Americas. Maize appeared suddenly about 8,500 years ago as domesticated teosinte; however, there is no evidence (genetical, archaeological, linguistic or ethnobotanical) able to support a gradual transformation from the

Investigating the domestication and early management of reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) in the Sámi archaeological context from teeth geometric morphometrics [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
For centuries, reindeer herding has been an integral part of the subsistence, lifeways, economy and cosmology of the Sámi of northern Fennoscandia. Despite its importance, the timing and details of early reindeer domestication are still highly debated ...

Dogs understand the role of a human partner in a cooperative task

open access: yesScientific Reports
Humans are exceptionally flexible in cooperation, partly due to our ability to recognize the roles of cooperative partners. While some non-human animals understand the need for a partner in such interactions, it is unclear whether they grasp the ...

The Role of Oxytocin in the Dog–Owner Relationship

open access: yesAnimals, 2019
Oxytocin (OT) is involved in multiple social bonds, from attachment between parents and offspring to “friendships”. Dogs are an interesting species in which to investigate the link between the oxytocinergic system and social bonds since they ...

The origin of domestication genes in goats

open access: yesScience Advances, 2020
Goat domestication selection mainly focused on immune and neural genes and involved both standing and introgressed variation. Goat domestication was critical for agriculture and civilization, but its underlying genetic changes and selection regimes ...

Parallel and Intertwining Threads of Domestication in Allopolyploid Cotton

open access: yesAdvancement of science, 2021
The two cultivated allopolyploid cottons, Gossypium hirsutum and Gossypium barbadense, represent a remarkable example of parallel independent domestication, both involving dramatic morphological transformations under selection from wild perennial plants ...
