Where are compact groups in the local Universe?
(EDP Sciences, 2015-06)
Aims. The purpose of this work is to perform a statistical analysis of the location of compact groups in the Universe from observational and semi-analytical points of view. Methods. We used the velocity-filtered compact ...
Phylogenetic analysis and redefinition of the maculata species group of Epicauta (Meloidae: Meloinae: Epicautini)
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2015-12)
A cladistic analysis based on 81 morphological characters was performed in order to determine the phylogenetic relationships of 11 species of Epicauta from South America. We find that the 11 South American species constitute ...
10 km performance prediction by metabolic and mechanical variables: influence of performance level and post-submaximal running jump potentiation
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021-01)
We aimed to develop models to explain performance and pacing during a 10-km running trial. Well-trained runners (n = 27, VO2max = 62.3 ± 4.5 mL·kg−1·min−1) divided into High (HPG, T10km = 33.9 ± 1.2 min, n = 9) and Low ...
An Alternative View of the Convergence Issue of Growth Empirics
(Wiley, 2011-09)
In this paper we study the dynamics of economic growth for 140 countries during the period 1951-2003. The variables representing economic performance are levels and growth rates of per capita GDP. Using the concept of ...
Effects of different substrates on the sprint performance of lizards
(Company of Biologists, 2012-02)
The variation in substrate structure is one of the most important determinants of the locomotor abilities in lizards. Lizards are found across a gradient of habitats from large rocks to loose sand, each of them with ...
Galaxies infalling into groups: Filaments versus isotropic infall
(Oxford University Press, 2015-10)
We perform a comparative analysis of the properties of galaxies infalling into groups classifying them accordingly to whether they are: Falling along filamentary structures; or they are falling isotropically. For this ...
Combining friend-of-friend and halo-based algorithms for the identification of galaxy groups
(EDP Sciences, 2020-04)
Galaxy groups provide the means for a great diversity of studies that contribute to a better understanding of the structure ofthe universe on a large scale and allow the properties of galaxies to be linked to those of the ...
Transgression of cooperative helping norms outweighs children's intergroup bias
(Elsevier, 2020-04)
Some forms of cooperative helping do not bind people from a moral perspective but ensure the functioning of social groups. Here, we have assessed how children coordinate such nonobligatory social concerns with group identity ...
Spatial and temporal divergence of the torquatus species group of the subterranean rodent Ctenomys
(University of Amsterdam, 2018-03)
Subterranean rodents of the genus Ctenomys have experienced an explosive radiation and rapidly colonized the southern cone of South America. The torquatus group, one of the main groups of the genus, comprises several species ...
Influence of pejerrey Odontesthes bonariensis(Valenciennes, 1835) broodstock age on gamete quality, reproductive performance and plasma sex steroid levels during the spawning season
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2014-08)
This study evaluated the effect of pejerrey Odontesthes bonariensis (Valenciennes, 1835) broodstock age on gamete and spawning quality and its relationship with sex steroid plasma levels. Sperm was analysed using a ...
