UNSUCCESSFUL PREDATION AND LEARNING OF PREDATOR CUES BY CRAYFISH [PDF]
Journal of Crustacean Biology, 2003 Abstract The effect of latent inhibition on learning about cues related to increased predation risk was studied in a native crayfish, Orconectes virilis, and in an invasive species, Orconectes rusticus. Individuals of both species either were exposed or not exposed to the conditioned stimulus (potential “predator” odor = goldfish odor) prior to ...

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This experiment investigates the development of a highly sensitive biosensor platform incorporating AuNPs with TiO2‐NTs as electrode materials. Robust PNA probes and an optimized hybridization protocol are employed to enhance performance. An appropriate level of AuNPs on the surface effectively prevents non‐specific binding of target DNA fragments ...

A computed tomography‐based survey of paramedullary diverticula in extant Aves
The Anatomical Record, Volume 306, Issue 1, Page 29-50, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Avian respiratory systems are comprised of rigid lungs connected to a hierarchically organized network of large, regional air sacs, and small diverticula that branch from them. Paramedullary diverticula are those that rest in contact with the spinal cord, and frequently invade the vertebral canal.

European Journal of Entomology, 2001 Some features of the biology and feeding relationships of small waterbugs (Notonectidae, Corixidae, Pleidae, Helotrephidae, Aphelocheiridae) and ripicolous bugs (Gelastocoridae, Ochteridae) are reviewed.

Intraguild predation and competition impacts on a subordinate predator [PDF]
Oecologia, 2016 Intraguild (IG) predation and interspecific competition may affect the settlement and success of species in their habitats. Using data on forest-dwelling hawks from Finland, we addressed the impact of an IG predator, the northern goshawk Accipiter gentilis (goshawk), on the breeding of an IG prey, the common buzzard Buteo buteo.

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Unique nanopillar metasurfaces are fabricated for the purpose of sensitive detection to refractive index changes in the presence of gold nanoparticles. The addition of these nanoparticles to the surface of the silicon nanopillars is facilitated via a novel antibiotic‐mediated linker system to promote localized surface plasmon effects resulting from Mie

The Anatomical Record, Volume 306, Issue 1, Page 5-28, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Antlers are the most conspicuous trait of cervids and have been used in the past to establish a classification of their fossil and living representatives. Since the availability of molecular data, morphological characters have generally become less important for phylogenetic reconstructions.

Wildlife responses to livestock guard dogs and domestic sheep on open range
Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021 Domestic sheep (Ovis aries) are an attractant to carnivores; however, sheep are often accompanied by humans and livestock guardian dogs (LGDs; Canis familiaris), which defend sheep from depredation.

Interactions between different predator-prey states. A method for the derivation of the functional and numerical response [PDF]
2020, Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2019 In this paper we introduce a formal method for the derivation of a predator's functional response from a system of fast state transitions of the prey or predator on a time scale during which the total prey and predator densities remain constant. Such derivation permits an explicit interpretation of the structure and parameters of the functional ...

Preferential Membrane Remodeling on Curved Biointerfaces Induced by Conjugated Oligoelectrolyte
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study explores how membrane shape influences the interaction of conjugated oligoelectrolytes (COEs) with lipid bilayers. Using a curved biointerface composed of nanobar arrays and supported lipid bilayers, it is revealed that COE intercalation preferentially remodels curved regions, forming distinct structures. These findings highlight the role of
