How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2011 Mecanismos de dispersão de diásporos e recrutamento de plântulas evitam a competição intra-específica e possibilitam a colonização de novos ambientes. Em áreas de transição entre florestas e vegetação campestre esses processos não são aleatórios, e sim ...

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.We report the synthesis and characterization of a sulfated prism[5]arene host (Prism[5]MaxQ). Prism[5]MaxQ displays ultrahigh binding affinity (Ka up to 1012 M−1) toward hydrophobic (di)cations in phosphate‐buffered saline (PBS). The work positions Prism[5]MaxQ as a new member of the family of ultrahigh‐affinity hosts poised for use as a sequestrant in

Effects of Perches on Behavior, Heart Rate, Body Temperature and Locomotor Activity of Caged Hens
The Journal of Poultry Science, 2004 This study was carried out to investigate the behavior and physiological conditions of hens housed in cages with or without perches. The physiological parameters investigated were heart rate (HR), body temperature (BT) and locomotor activity (LA) using ...

Watch out where you sleep: nocturnal sleeping behaviour of Bay Island lizards [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Sleeping exposes lizards to predation. Therefore, sleeping strategies must be directed towards avoiding predation and might vary among syntopic species.

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.Abstract Objective Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) are characterized by refractory seizures and frequently recurring epileptic activity with neurodevelopmental delay or regression that usually begin in early life. We aimed to define the relationship between electroclinical features and etiology, as well as the genotype–phenotype ...
