Growth Pattern and Condition in the Mudskipper <i>Scartelaos histophorus</i> in the Mekong Delta. [PDF]
Analysis of 1436 mudskippers (Scartelaos histophorus) from the Mekong Delta revealed consistently negative allometric growth. Growth exponents and condition factors were higher in females and during the dry season, emphasizing the roles of life‐history and hydrological drivers in estuarine adaptation. ABSTRACT Studies of the length–weight relationship (

An Autistic "Linguatype"? Neologisms, New Words, and New Insights. [PDF]
ABSTRACT In this commentary, we present new ideas about autistic neologisms. This essay has two primary goals. First, we argue that an autistic predilection to form neologisms generates intriguing new hypotheses about language in autism, including the possibility that a tendency to use neologisms could be a featural element of an autistic “linguatype” (

Fatty-acid uptake in prostate cancer cells using dynamic microfluidic raman technology [PDF]
It is known that intake of dietary fatty acid (FA) is strongly correlated with prostate cancer progression but is highly dependent on the type of FAs. High levels of palmitic acid (PA) or arachidonic acid (AA) can stimulate the progression of cancer.

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation. [PDF]
Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

This study evaluated the growth of fat snook Centropomus parallelus in response to the dietary total lipids, gross energy (GE) and crude protein (CP) content. In the 1st experiment, five isonitrogenous diets with 541.7 ± 2.4 g kg-1 CP varied their lipid content in 113, 151, 160, 189 and 200 g kg-1 and GE in 18.8, 19.4, 20.4, 21.2 and 22.2 MJ kg-1 ...

Obesity Discrimination in the Recruitment Process: "You're Not Hired!". [PDF]
Previous literature reports that obese persons are discriminated in the workplace. Evidence suggests that obese people are perceived as having less leadership potential, and in comparison to normal weight peers, are expected to be less successful.
