THE EVOLUTION OF SCORPIONISM IN BRAZIL IN RECENT YEARS

, 1996
In this paper further information concerning the ecological and biogeographical aspects of scorpionism is presented. Some of the information already outlined in three previous publications(10,14,16) is assessed, and new data given concerning the pattern ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Utility of Fine Needle Aspiration Supernatant for Real‐Time PCR–Based Mutation Analysis in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The emergence of personalized therapy and molecular sequencing has significantly transformed the management of advanced non–small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Supernatants obtained from fine needle aspiration (FNA) have been shown to be a reliable source of high‐quality nucleic acid for molecular testing.

Programmable crack dynamics engineering enables flexible strain sensors with high linearity

FlexMat, EarlyView.
First‐decoupling theoretical framework of crack evolution elucidating the control methods, mechanistic insights, and structure‐activity relationships is established. Crack propagation from uncontrollable randomness systematically evolves into spatially ordered states.

Burrow use by Saharan striped polecat (Poecilictis libyca) in an agricultural area of central Tunisia

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Saharan striped polecats in agricultural landscapes use many burrows (30–35 per season), facilitated by sandy soils. Burrow sharing is rare and mainly occurs between males and females during mating. Habitat use shifts seasonally, reflecting disturbance and soil conditions. Maintaining stable sandy habitats may be critical for persistence.
