Time-division SQUID multiplexers with reduced sensitivity to external magnetic fields

open access: yes, 2010
Time-division SQUID multiplexers are used in many applications that require exquisite control of systematic error. One potential source of systematic error is the pickup of external magnetic fields in the multiplexer. We present measurements of the field

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Using Citizen Science to Improve Our Understanding of Northern Shortfin Squid (Illex illecebrosus) and Longfin Inshore Squid (Doryteuthis pealeii) Ecology and Fisheries off Atlantic Canada

open access: yesFishes
Northern shortfin squid (Illex illecebrosus) and longfin inshore squid (Doryteuthis pealeii) are fished commercially and recreationally off Atlantic Canada, but limited reporting, particularly from recreational fisheries, has left major gaps in our ...

Aspects of female reproductive biology of the orange-back squid, Sthenoteuthis pteropus (Steenstup) (Oegopsina: Ommastrephidae) in the eastern tropical Atlantic

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2005
Orange-back squid females, Sthenoteuthis pteropus, were found to mature at two different sizes: 230-270 mm and 380-450 mm mantle length (ML). The systematic status of these groups remains unknown.

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Development of the hectocotylus in Illex coindetii (Verany 1837) (Cephalopoda: Ommastrephidae)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2012
Species of the genus Illex (Family Ommastrephidae) are distinguished morphologically mainly based on differences in the hectocotylus, the modified arm that males of many cephalopod species use to transfer spermatophores to females during mating We ...

Hydrogen Bonding is Key Factor in Reversible NH3 Uptake Causing Vapochromic and Magnetochemical Switching in Ni(II) Paddlewheel Complexes

open access: yesChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
Nickel complexes showing reversible vapochromic and spin crossover behaviors upon coordination and release of NH3 were synthesized. They bear bidentate pyridazine ligands, which allows for formation of hydrogen bonds between NH3 and the ligand in the second coordination sphere.

Spatial and temporal patterns in size and maturation of Loligo plei and Loligo sanpaulensis (Cephalopoda: Loliginidae) in southeastern Brazilian waters, between 23°S and 27°S

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2008
Patterns of population dynamics of Loligo plei and Loligo sanpaulensis in southeastern Brazil were investigated with samples obtained from commercial catches and research cruises from 1999 to 2000 and from 2002 to 2003. Size and maturity structure of the

Divining the Essence of Symbiosis: Insights from the Squid-Vibrio Model

open access: yesPLoS Biology, 2014
Recent molecular data place microbes at the center of the biosphere, from ecosystem sustainability to animal and plant fitness. Models, including the squid-vibrio symbiosis described in this Essay, provide windows into underlying mechanisms that drive ...

A Crystallographic Shear Driven by Oxygen Insertion in (LuFeO3)nLuFe2O4

open access: yesChemistryEurope, EarlyView.
Layered structures (LuFeO3)nLuFe2O4 exhibit a common structural transformation upon oxygen uptake. Although the LuFeO3 units do not directly participate in oxygen insertion, these inactive layers nevertheless influence the temperature at which oxygen absorption occurs.
