The quick detection of domestic and peridomestic triatomines in their environments becomes difficult without the use of dislodgement substances that flush them out from their shelters. At present, tetramethrin 0.2% is being ...

Intraspecific competition for space is generally invoked as the chief process limiting crowding in sessile or highly sedentary marine invertebrates. However, the mechanisms by which high conspecific density induces individual ...

Predator-induced defenses have a significant influence on the expression of morphological and behavioral traits of marine species. In mussels, common responses to predators include thickening of the shell, enlargement of ...

Mussel attachment strength varies in space and time, frequently in association with variations in wave exposure. Yet, it remains uninvestigated whether different rock types can contribute to variation in mussel attachment. ...

Several attachment systems for mandibular implant-supported overdentures are currently available and studies are required to understand their mechanical properties. The objective of this study was to evaluate the retention ...

Background: The absence of incorporation between endoprosthesis (EP) and the arterial wall may lead to device migration and endoleaks around the stent graft. Alternatives have been tested aiming to improve this incorporation. ...
