New data on bioacoustics and courtship behaviour in grasshoppers (Orthoptera, Acrididae, Gomphocerinae) from Russia and adjacent countries [PDF]
ZooKeysThe songs of seven grasshopper species of subfamily Gomphocerinae from Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, and Kazakhstan were studied. We analysed not only the sound, but also the stridulatory movements of the hind legs to more entirely describe the songs.

On the ‘transmission sense of information’ [PDF]
Biology & Philosophy, 2012 In order to illuminate the role of information in biology, Bergstrom and Rosvall (Biol Philos 26:159–176, 2011a; Biol Philos 26:195–200, 2011b) propose a ‘transmission sense of information’ which builds on Shannon’s theory. At the core of the transmission sense is an appeal to the reduction in uncertainty in receivers and to etiological function.

Mathematics, 2023 A model of set theory ZFC is defined in our recent research, in which, for a given n≥3, (An) there exists a good lightface Δn1 well-ordering of the reals, but (Bn) no well-orderings of the reals (not necessarily good) exist in the previous class Δn−11 ...

Organized Information Transmission [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020 In reality, the organizational structure of information — describing how information is transmitted to its recipients — is as important as its content. In this paper, we introduce families of (indirect) information structures, namely meeting schemes and delegated hierarchies, that capture the horizontal and vertical dimensions of real-world ...

Genome rearrangements and selection in multi-chromosome bacteria Burkholderia spp.
BMC Genomics, 2018 Background The genus Burkholderia consists of species that occupy remarkably diverse ecological niches. Its best known members are important pathogens, B. mallei and B. pseudomallei, which cause glanders and melioidosis, respectively.

Information transmission in oscillatory neural activity
, 2008 Periodic neural activity not locked to the stimulus or to motor responses is usually ignored. Here, we present new tools for modeling and quantifying the information transmission based on periodic neural activity that occurs with quasi-random phase ...
