Ontogenetic Changes in Feeding Behaviors in Tufted Capuchins. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Objectives Wild juvenile capuchins exhibit lower feeding success than adults, particularly for mechanically challenging foods, but ontogenetic changes in oral food processing behaviors related to this reduced success are unknown. We test how oral food processing efficiency varies across development in an experimental setting in tufted ...

The B cell development from hematopoietic stem cells is a continuous and highly regulated process where multiple differentiation potentials are gradually lost while acquiring lineage specialized functions. At 50 years of the B cell discovery, the current knowledge of its early differentiation largely derive from the isolation and characterization of ...
