Analysis of HMCVT Shift Quality Based on the Engagement Characteristics of Wet Clutch

Agriculture, 2022
A wet clutch is the key shift part of the hydro-mechanical continuously variable transmission (HMCVT), and the working characteristics have an important influence on the shift quality of HMCVT.

Egg clutch dehydration induces early hatching in red-eyed treefrogs, Agalychnis callidryas [PDF]

, 2017
Terrestrial eggs have evolved repeatedly in tropical anurans exposing embryos to the new threat of dehydration. Red-eyed treefrogs, Agalychnis callidryas, lay eggs on plants over water.

Fueling Incubation: Differential Use of Body Stores in Arctic and Temperate-breeding Barnacle Geese (Branta leucopsis) [PDF]

, 2010
We compared the use of body stores in breeding Barnacle Geese (Branta leucopsis) in traditional Arctic colonies in the Barents Sea with that in recently established temperate-zone breeding colonies in the Baltic Sea and North Sea by studying female body ...

Threat-sensitive anti-predator defence in precocial wader, the northern lapwing Vanellus vanellus [PDF]

, 2016
Birds exhibit various forms of anti-predator behaviours to avoid reproductive failure, with mobbing—observation, approach and usually harassment of a predator—being one of the most commonly observed. Here, we investigate patterns of temporal variation in

Nesting behaviour influences species-specific gas exchange across avian eggshells [PDF]

, 2014
Carefully controlled gas exchange across the eggshell is essential for the development of the avian embryo. Water vapour conductance (GH2O) across the shell, typically measured as mass loss during incubation, has been demonstrated to optimally ensure the

Considering adaptation and the ‘function’ of traits in the classroom, using wiki tools [PDF]

, 2010
The conceptual understanding of the process of adaptation (whereby a population becomes better suited to its environment over evolutionary time) is acknowledged to be a difficult one.
