Flight-reproduction trade-offs, such that more mobile individuals sacrifice reproductive output (e.g., fecundity) or incur fitness costs, are well-studied in a handful of wing-dimorphic model systems.However, these trade-offs have not been systematically assessed across reproduction-related traits and taxa in wing monomorphic species despite having
High-performance regenerated silkworm (Bombyx mori) silk fibers can be produced efficiently through the straining flow spinning (SFS) technique.In addition to an enhanced biocompatibility that results from the removal of contaminants during the processing of hat band the material, regenerated silk fibers may be functionalized conveniently by using
Adult triatomines occasionally fly into artificially lit premises in Amazonia.This can result in Trypanosoma cruzi transmission to humans either by direct contact or via foodstuff contamination, but the frequency of such behaviour has not been quantified.To address this issue, a light-trap was set 45 m above ground in primary rainforest near Manaus
When animals and their offspring are threatened, parents switch from self-defense to offspring protection.How self-defense is suppressed remains elusive.We postulated that suppression of the self-defense response, freezing, is gated via oxytocin acting in the centro-lateral amygdala (CeL).We found that rat dams Matching Shirts conditioned to fear a
Abstract Spatiotemporal data on ambient populations have recently become widely available.Although previous studies have indicated Bone Broth Protein a link between the spatial patterns of crime occurrence and ambient population distribution, more detailed information, such as the population most likely to be victims by gender and age group, could
