Chemical repellency and adverse effects of free-floating macrophytes on the cladoceran Ceriodaphnia dubia under two temperature levels
(Springer Tokyo, 2013-06)
Macrophytes can structure biological assemblages in subtropical lakes. Zooplankton often uses them as a refuge, but in the absence of predators many species frequently avoid them. It is hypothesized that plant exudates can ...
Obstacle circumvention and eye coordination during walking to least and most affected side in people with Parkinson's disease
(2018-07-02)
Background: The mechanisms that contribute to gait asymmetry in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) are unclear, mainly during gait with greater environmental demand, such as when an obstacle is circumvented while walking. ...
Differences in sperm storage and remating propensity between adult females of two morphotypes of the Anastrepha fraterculus (Diptera: Tephritidae) cryptic species complex
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-04)
The South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus, is a complex of cryptic species composed of at least seven morphotypes. Some of them, such as the Peruvian and Brazilian 1 morphotypes (which include Argentinean ...
Do physical activity, commuting mode, cardiorespiratory fitness and sedentary behaviours modify the genetic predisposition to higher BMI? Findings from a UK Biobank study
(NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, 2019)
Objective To investigate whether the association between a genetic profile risk score for obesity (GPRS-obesity) (based on 93 SNPs) and body mass index (BMI) was modified by physical activity (PA), cardiorespiratory fitness, ...
Management of children's aggressiveness when playing competitive games in the english class
(Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Facultad de Ciencias Humanas, 2002)
Human behaviour has been a changing aspect during the history of mankind. Humanity has learned to get along with others; but the behavioural stage has been very difficult to control across the time, because everyone has ...
Role of visual information and learning in habitat selection by a generalist parasitoid foraging for concealed hosts
(Academic Press Ltd - Elsevier Science Ltd, 2007-07)
Generalist species usually have to deal with a larger variety of cues during habitat selection than do specialists, and thus, learning has been proposed as a highly profitable strategy to find the most suitable habitat. ...
Comparing capuchins and coatis: causes and consequences of differing movement ecology in two sympatric mammals
(Elsevier, 2013-07)
The mechanisms that shape animal movement decisions at the level of an individual or a group of animals can scale up to affect larger-scale ecological processes. Ecologists often use mechanistic animal movement models to ...
Repeatability in the contact calling system of Spix's disc-winged bat (Thyroptera tricolor)
(2015-01)
Spix's disc-winged bat (Thyroptera tricolor) forms cohesive groups despite using an extremely ephemeral roost, partly due to the use of two acoustic signals that help individuals locate roost sites and group embers. While ...
Unexpected substitution in the Li1-3xFexNiPO4 (0 < x < 0.15) solid solution. Weak ferromagnetic behaviour
