Creatine and glycerol hyperhydration in trained subjects prior to exercise in the heat. [PDF]
, 2007 The authors examined the effects of combined creatine (Cr) and glycerol (Gly) supplementation on responses to exercise in the heat. Subjects (N = 24) were matched for body mass and assigned to either a Cr or placebo (Pl) group. Twice daily during two 7-d

A Quantum Model of Exaptation: Incorporating Potentiality into Evolutionary Theory [PDF]
Progress in Biophysics & Molecular Biology, 113(1), 108-116, 2013 The phenomenon of preadaptation, or exaptation (wherein a trait that originally evolved to solve one problem is co-opted to solve a new problem) presents a formidable challenge to efforts to describe biological phenomena using a classical (Kolmogorovian) mathematical framework.

Climate control in termite mounds: A review and new insights from X-ray tomography and flow field simulations [PDF]
arXivInvestigating the thermoregulation and ventilation processes in termite mound holds great interest, in particular for its potential implications in advancing eco-friendly building designs. In this article we discuss major results on these processes in termite mounds of varying sizes and ventilation types.

Influence of temperature on host location and multisensory orientation in the parasitoid Pimpla turionellae (L.) (Hymenoptera) [PDF]
, 2008 The ichneumonid wasp Pimpla turionellae (L.) (Hymenoptera) is a specialist parasitoid of lepidopteran pupae, and has to overcome the challenge of reduced chemical and visual cues as pupae are immobile, do not feed and do not emit excrements.

Latitudinal Variation in Seasonal Activity and Mortality in Ratsnakes (Elaphe obsoleta)
, 2010 The ecology of ectotherms should be particularly affected by latitude because so much of their biology is temperature dependent. Current latitudinal patterns should also be informative about how ectotherms will have to modify their behavior in response ...
