Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 According to the niche variation hypothesis (NVH), the populations with wider niches are phenotypically more variable than those with narrow niches. Giller expanded the NVH, suggesting that the niche width, morphological variation, and genetic diversity ...

Plasticity of immunity in response to eating [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Biology, 2016 Following a meal, an animal can exhibit dramatic shifts in physiology and morphology, as well as a substantial increase in metabolic rate associated with the energetic costs of processing a meal (i.e., specific dynamic action, SDA). However, little is known about the effects of digestion on another important physiological and energetically costly trait:

Hippocampal Plasticity in Response to Exercise in Schizophrenia [PDF]
Archives of General Psychiatry, 2010 Hippocampal volume is lower than expected in patients with schizophrenia; however, whether this represents a fixed deficit is uncertain. Exercise is a stimulus to hippocampal plasticity.To determine whether hippocampal volume would increase with exercise in humans and whether this effect would be related to improved aerobic fitness.Randomized ...

Factors Determining Plasticity of Responses to Drugs [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022 The plasticity of responses to drugs is an ever-present confounding factor for all aspects of pharmacology, influencing drug discovery and development, clinical use and the expectations of the patient. As an introduction to this Special Issue of the journal IJMS on pharmacological plasticity, we address the various levels at which plasticity appears ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 When multiple strains of microbes form social groups, such as the multicellular fruiting bodies of Dictyostelium discoideum, conflict can arise regarding cell fate. Both fixed and plastic differences among strains can contribute to cell fate, and plastic

Fuzzy Plastic Constitutive Model and Its Application to Subgrade
Advances in Civil Engineering, 2021 The subgrade of a road is subjected to cyclic loading and unloading under the action of traffic loads. To study this mechanical response, the plastic membership function was introduced into the modified Cambridge model, and thus, the fuzzy plastic ...
