Organization of the Auditory Brainstem in a Lizard, Gekko gecko. II. Afferent and Efferent Projections of Nuclei of the Lateral Lemniscus and the Torus Semicircularis

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 10, October 2025.
We used tract tracing and in vivo physiology to investigate auditory processing in the brainstem of the Tokay gecko. We found conserved patterns of connection in higher‐order auditory nuclei and an apparent lack of tonotopy at the level of the auditory midbrain.

Mapping Children's Discussions of Evidence in Science to Assess Collaboration and Argumentation [PDF]

, 2006
The research reported in this paper concerns the development of children's skills of interpreting and evaluating evidence in science. Previous studies have shown that school teaching often places limited emphasis on the development of these skills, which

Dietary Response of Black‐Backed Jackals (Lupulella mesomelas) to Contrasted Land Use

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
This study examines dietary shifts in black‐backed jackals across different land‐use types using DNA metabarcoding. Results reveal that jackal diets vary significantly by landscape and season, with a strong reliance on sheep in livestock areas, selective feeding on greater kudu on game farms, and a broader, more even prey profile in nature reserves ...

The Free‐Range Rock Cavy (Kerodon rupestris) Communicates the Urgency of a Threat Using Different Alarm Calls

Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 10, Page 175-186, October 2025.
Rock cavy alarm calls are finely modulated by threat proximity. ABSTRACT This study examines whether rock cavies (Kerodon rupestris), which are social rodents, modulate their alarm calls in response to various threat contexts. Conducted across four sample areas within two study sites in the Brazilian Caatinga region, alarm calls were collected using ...

Virulence Factors of Helicobacter pylori Responsible for Gastric Diseases in Mongolian Gerbil

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 2000
Helicobacter pylori infection induces various gastroduodenal diseases. We examined the role of two genes, vacA and cagE, in the gastric pathogenesis induced by H. pylori using a long-term (62 wk) animal model.

Physiological and Behavioural Strategies of Bats From Arid Environments

Mammal Review, Volume 55, Issue 4, October 2025.
Deserts are characterized by high ambient temperatures, intense solar radiation and low water availability. Desert bats are smaller, have lower energy expenditures, lower water losses, higher wing aspect ratios and lower wing loadings than bats living in mesic environments.
