Individual quality and extra-pair paternity in the blue tit: sexy males bear the costs.
(Wiley, 2020)
Adaptive explanations for the evolution of extra-pair paternity (EPP) suggest that females seek extra-pair copulations with high quality males. Still, the link between ornamentation, individual quality, and paternity remains ...
Reappraisal of the hypo‐osmotic swelling test to improve assessment of seminal fertility status
(1992)
The hypo‐osmotic swelling (HOS) test has been proposed as a useful assay for evaluation of the functional competence of the human sperm membranes. To assess this further, the HOS‐test was evaluated in 187 semen samples ...
Non-lethal effects of invertebrate predators on Daphnia: morphological and life-history consequences of water mite kairomone
(BLACKWELL, 2008-09)
1. Here, we report morphological and life-historical changes in the cladoceran Daphnia ambigua in response to chemical cues released by the predatory water mite Piona chilensis. Both species are common inhabitants of ...
Postembryonic development of the posterior lateral line in the zebrafish
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2009-07)
The posterior lateral line (PLL) of zebrafish
comprises seven to eight sense organs at the end of
embryogenesis, arranged in a single antero-posterior line
that extends along the horizontal myoseptum from the ear to
the ...
Synthesis and characterisation of two homologous series of LC acrylic monomers based on phenolic and resorcinic azobenzene groups
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)
The synthesis and phase characterisation of two homologous series of monomers of acrylic azo-compounds has been presented. The characterisation comprises polarising optical microscopy (POM), differential scanning calorimetry ...
Active colloidal chains with cilia- and flagella-like motion
(Iop publishing LTD, 2018-05)
It has been shown that self-assembled chains of active colloidal particles can present sustained oscillations. These oscillations are possible because the effective diffusiophoretic forces that mediate the interactions of ...
Antinociception and anti-inflammation induced by simvastatin in algesiometric assays in mice
(2011)
Statins, belonging to a well-known drug class used for lowering cholesterol through competitive inhibition of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase, also have other pleiotropic properties, such as ...
Control of Cell Migration in the Zebrafish Lateral Line: Implication of the Gene “Tumour- Associated Calcium Signal Transducer,” tacstd
(WILEY-LISS, 2006-03-21)
The sensory organs of the zebrafish lateral-line system (neuromasts) originate from migrating primordia
that move along precise pathways. The posterior primordium, which deposits the neuromasts on the body
and tail of ...
Performance evaluation of macroblock-level parallelization of h.264 decoding on a cc-numa multiprocessor architecture
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia -Sede Medellín, 2009)
This paper presents a study of the performance scalability of a macroblock-level parallelization of the H.264 decoder for High Definition (HD) applications on a multiprocessor architecture. We have implemented this ...
Dugandia, a new snake genus for coluber bicinctus herrmann
