Analysis of morphometric and meristic characteristics of three cichlid species in central Iraq: farmed and wild

Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies
This study is designed to assess morphological dissimilarities between aquaculture and feral groups of three cichlid fish species, Coptodon zillii (Gervais, 1848), Oreochromis aureus (Steindachner, 1864), and Oreochromis niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758). Feral

Orbital and equilibrium dynamics of a multiwell potential

Results in Physics, 2022
We consider a Hamiltonian system associated with the two-well umbilical catastrophe potential D5, while the corresponding potential contains only one free parameter.

From tumor‐centric to ecosystem‐based hypotheses in brain tumor research and care

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Primary brain tumors, whether in adults or children, present a major challenge because of their dramatic prognosis and the ongoing lack of efficient therapeutic approaches. In recent years, a shift has occurred from tumor‐centric concepts to a more holistic view of these tumors as dynamic ecosystems.

A convergent and essential interneuron pathway for Mauthner cell mediated escapes

Current Biology, 2015
The Mauthner cell (M-cell) is a command-like neuron in teleost fish whose firing in response to aversive stimuli is correlated with short-latency escapes [1-3].

Decreased cold‐sensing function of the transient receptor potential channel TRPM8 from tailed amphibians

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Despite frogs avoiding low temperatures, examination of four salamander species revealed that none avoided cold and all possessed cold tolerance. Functional analysis of TRPM8, a cold sensor, showed that all salamander TRPM8s had lost their cold sensitivity.

Audiovisual integration in the Mauthner cell enhances escape probability and reduces response latency

Scientific Reports, 2022
Fast and accurate threat detection is critical for animal survival. Reducing perceptual ambiguity by integrating multiple sources of sensory information can enhance perception and reduce response latency.

How phagocytic cells kill bacteria: Lessons from a professional killer

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
How phagocytic cells ingest and kill bacteria has been studied for more than a century, but many questions remain unanswered. The study of the amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum brings new answers, and new questions. Professional phagocytic cells such as neutrophils and macrophages, as well as free‐living soil amoebae like Dictyostelium discoideum, employ

Moments of Sensing ‘Prison Climates’

Journal of Extreme Anthropology
Drawing on long-term ethnographic research in a correctional facility for male juveniles (aged 12 to 21) in Ghana, this article elaborates on institutional responses following two attempted escapes in 2018 and in 2021.
