Predation risk reduces a female preference for heterospecific males in the green swordtail [PDF]

, 2016
The presence of a predator can result in the alteration, loss or reversal of a mating preference. Under predation risk, females often change their initial preference for conspicuous males, favouring less flashy males to reduce the risk of being detected ...

Population Scale Analysis of Centromeric Satellite DNA Reveals Highly Dynamic Evolutionary Patterns and Genomic Organization in Long-Tailed and Rhesus Macaques

Cells, 2022
Centromeric satellite DNA (cen-satDNA) consists of highly divergent repeat monomers, each approximately 171 base pairs in length. Here, we investigated the genetic diversity in the centromeric region of two primate species: long-tailed (Macaca ...

Challenges and Future Directions in Assessing the Quality and Completeness of Advanced Materials Safety Data for Re‐Usability: A Position Paper From the Nanosafety Community

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Nanosafety data provide a guiding example for establishing best practices in data management, aligning with FAIR principles and quality criteria. This review explores existing quality assessment approaches for reliability, relevance, and completeness, emphasizing the need for harmonization and adaptation to nanomaterials and advanced materials.

Polar bear attack on a juvenile narwhal

Fauna Norvegica, 1990
A juvenile female narwhal Monodon monoceros landed at Pond Inlet had several sets of scratches on the posterior part of the body. They were probably made by a polar bear Ursus maritimus in the course of an unsuccessful attack.

A stochastic interspecific competition model to predict the behaviour of Listeria monocytogenes in the fermentation process of a traditional Sicilian salami

, 2008
The present paper discusses the use of modified Lotka-Volterra equations in order to stochastically simulate the behaviour of Listeria monocytogenes and Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) during the fermentation period (168 h) of a typical Sicilian salami.

Satellitome Analysis of Adalia bipunctata (Coleoptera): Revealing Centromeric Turnover and Potential Chromosome Rearrangements in a Comparative Interspecific Study

International Journal of Molecular Sciences
Eukaryotic genomes exhibit a dynamic interplay between single-copy sequences and repetitive DNA elements, with satellite DNA (satDNA) representing a substantial portion, mainly situated at telomeric and centromeric chromosomal regions.

Microbial Contribution to Soiling and Its Impact on Photovoltaic Module Soiling in Arid Zones of the Atacama Desert

Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.
Microorganisms colonizing photovoltaic surfaces in the Atacama desert form biofilms that enhance particle adhesion and reduce energy yield. This study identifies UV‐resistant bacteria and carotenoid‐producing strains that interfere with PV performance.

Comparison between the distributions of land-locked Atlantic salmon Salmo salar L. and three-spined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus L. in the river Namsen, Norway

Fauna Norvegica, 1984
The land-locked salmon Salmo salar L. in the river Namsen is found up-stream to a waterfall situated 290 m above s.l. It is found both above and below the Trongfoss waterfall in the main river. The three-spined stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus L.

Food Quality in Producer-Grazer Models: A Generalized Analysis

, 2010
Stoichiometric constraints play a role in the dynamics of natural populations, but are not explicitly considered in most mathematical models. Recent theoretical works suggest that these constraints can have a significant impact and should not be ...
