We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Definition of Drosophila hemocyte subsets by cell-type specific antigens. [PDF]
We analyzed the heterogeneity of Drosophila hemocytes on the basis of the expression of cell-type specific antigens. The antigens characterize distinct subsets which partially overlap with those defined by morphological criteria.

Ontogenesis, Organisation, and Organismal Agency
At first sight, the empirical study of ontogenesis and the theoretical study of organismal agency seem to have little in common. In this chapter, we discuss why this initial impression is incorrect. First of all, ontogenesis and agency are indirectly connected at the level of the whole organism, since they are co-dependent on the peculiar organization ...

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an important neurotrophin involved in an integration of the brain activity in physiological and pathological conditions, with formation of a short- and long-term functional and structural neuroplasticity.

Domestic rabbits of different body sizes differ disproportionately in the length of their tooth row or the length of their diastema. Abstract In various domestic mammals, smaller breeds tend to have proportionally larger teeth, whereas this is not a universal trend across mammals.

Biosphere as semiosphere: Variations on Lotman
The analogy between semiosphere (world of cultures) and biosphere (world of life), coined by J. Lotman, is a courageous attempt to interconnect two seemingly incompatible worlds.

Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

On the notion of motor primitives in humans and robots [PDF]
This article reviews two reflexive motor patterns in humans: Primitive reflexes and motor primitives. Both terms coexist in the literature of motor development and motor control, yet they are not synonyms.

Place of the vitality analysis in population research and nature protection work
The basic stages of formation of the population analysis in ecology are considered. The attention to the special place and priorities of the population approach in modern exploratory and nature protection practice is paid.

Abstract Dinosaurs evolved a unique respiratory system with air sacs that contributed to their evolutionary success. Postcranial skeletal pneumaticity (PSP) has been used to infer the presence of air sac systems in some fossil archosaurs. While unambiguous evidence of PSP is well documented in pterosaurs and post‐Carnian saurischians, it remains absent
