Rippling Is a Predatory Behavior in Myxococcus xanthus [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 2006 ABSTRACT Cells of Myxococcus xanthus will, at times, organize their movement such that macroscopic traveling waves, termed ripples, are formed as groups of cells glide together on a solid surface. The reason for this behavior has long been a mystery, but we demonstrate here that rippling is a feeding ...

Superior damage tolerance of fish skins [PDF]
, 2022 Skin is the largest organ of many animals. Its protective function against hostile environments and predatorial attack makes high mechanical strength a vital characteristic. Here, we measured the mechanical properties of bass fish skins and found that fish skins are highly ductile with a rupture strain of up to 30-40% and a rupture strength of 10-15 ...

Early detection of risk of reading difficulties using a working memory assessment battery
British Educational Research Journal, Volume 48, Issue 6, Page 1183-1197, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Research suggests a role for aspects of the working memory system in reading. While much of the evidence points to a role for working memory capacity and the phonological loop, more recent work indicates a role for the central executive component, although findings remain unclear.

Predatory Behavior of Yellow Baboons [PDF]
Behaviour, 1976 Abstract1. A group of 32 yellow baboons (Papio cynocephalus) in the Masai-Amboseli National Park, Kenya, caught and ate 45 vertebrate prey items during 2519.19 hours of observation. 2. Eighty percent of the prey items were mammals and the most frequently eaten species were African hares (Lepus capensis), vervet monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops) and ...
