Eggs in the freezer: energetic consequences of nest site and nest design in Arctic breeding shorebirds [PDF]
, 2012 Birds construct nests for several reasons. For species that breed in the Arctic, the insulative properties of nests are very important. Incubation is costly there and due to an increasing surface to volume ratio, more so in smaller species. Small species

A role for nonapeptides and dopamine in nest-building behaviour [PDF]
, 2015 During nest building in zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), several regions in the social behaviour network and the dopaminergic reward system, two neural circuits involved in social behaviour, appear to be active in male and female nest-building ...

Peripheral Neuron Survival and Outgrowth on Graphene
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2018 Graphene displays properties that make it appealing for neuroregenerative medicine, yet its interaction with peripheral neurons has been scarcely investigated. Here, we culture on graphene two established models for peripheral neurons: PC12 cells and DRG

Local quantum thermal susceptibility
Nature Communications, 2016 In thermodynamics, thermal properties of systems are obtained from averaging procedures which smooth out local details. Here, the authors introduce the concept of local quantum thermal susceptibility, a measure for the best achievable accuracy of ...
