Photo go‐alongs for researching the relations between people and place

Area, EarlyView.
Short Abstract This paper demonstrates the value of photo go‐alongs as a qualitative method for researching the complex relationships between people and place. Three key advantages are discussed. First, photo go‐alongs show how pasts and futures shape the unfolding present. Second, they highlight how biographical and social memories intertwine.

Feeding habits of the endangered Japanese diving beetle Hydaticus bowringii (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) larvae in paddy fields and implications for its conservation

European Journal of Entomology, 2020
The diving beetle Hydaticus bowringii Clark, 1864 (Coleoptera: Dytiscidae) is on the Red List of Japan as 'Near Threatened'. However, there is no quantitative information on the feeding habits of its larvae, which could be used to aid its conservation ...

The Generalized Green-Schwarz Mechanism for Type IIB Orientifolds with D3- and D7-Branes

, 2009
In this paper, we work out in detail the tadpole cancellation conditions as well as the generalized Green-Schwarz mechanism for type IIB orientifold compactifications with D3- and D7-branes.

Development of Uncertainty Sensitivity: Early Competence or Protracted Development?

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The development of uncertainty sensitivity, a critical cognitive ability, presents a challenging paradox: Some evidence points to its emergence in infancy, whereas other evidence indicates much later emergence and protracted development.

Vulnerability and behavioral responses of South Chinese anuran tadpoles to native dragonfly (Pantala flavescens) naiads and introduced western mosquitofish (Gambusia affinis)

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2017
Anti-predator behavior is an important fitness component in most animals. Alien predator species are a serious threat to amphibian populations. We studied the vulnerability and behavioral defenses of tadpoles of six Chinese anurans in response to the ...

The Effect of Background Colour on Behaviour and Development of Golden Mantella (Mantella aurantiaca) Tadpoles

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 204-215, March 2026.
This study examined how background colour influences behaviour and development in golden mantella (Mantella aurantiaca) tadpoles across ontogeny. Tadpoles preferred darker backgrounds, and this preference got less strong with increasing age. Individuals reared in darker conditions were less active but did not differ in growth rate and shelter use when ...

Alterações histopatológicas em girinos de rã-touro alimentados com rações comerciais de diferentes níveis protéicos Histopathological alterations in bullfrog tadpoles fed commercial diets with three levels of crude protein

Revista Brasileira de Zootecnia, 2008
Realizaram-se necropsia e exame histopatológico de girinos de rã-touro (Rana catesbeiana) alimentados com rações comerciais formuladas com 32, 36, 45 ou 55% de proteína bruta (PB) visando estabelecer a relação entre o nível de proteína bruta da ração e a

The self-energy of improved staggered quarks [PDF]

, 2003
We calculate the fermion self-energy at O(alpha_s) for the Symanzik improved staggered fermion action used in recent lattice simulations by the MILC collaboration. We demonstrate that the algebraic approach to lattice perturbation theory, suggested by us

Survey of mercury in boreal chorus frog (Pseudacris maculata) and wood frog (Rana sylvatica) tadpoles from wetland ponds in the Prairie Pothole Region of Canada

FACETS, 2017
Tadpoles are important prey items for many aquatic organisms and often represent the largest vertebrate biomass in many fishless wetland ecosystems. Neurotoxic mercury (Hg) can, at elevated levels, decrease growth, lower survival, and cause developmental

Numbers, neighbors, and hungry predators: What makes chemically defended aposematic prey susceptible to predation?

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Many chemically defended aposematic species are characterized by relatively low toxin levels, which enables predators to include them in their diets under certain circumstances.
