Evaporative respiratory cooling augments pit organ thermal detection in rattlesnakes
(Springer, 2013-12-01)
Rattlesnakes use their facial pit organs to sense external thermal fluctuations. A temperature decrease in the heat-sensing membrane of the pit organ has the potential to enhance heat flux between their endothermic prey ...
Plasticity in extended phenotypes: How the antlion Myrmeleon crudelis adjusts the pit traps depending on biotic and abiotic conditions
(Brill Academic Publishers, 2019-12)
The physical structures built by animals are considered extended phenotypes that reflect how organisms make decisions and deal with changes in their biotic and abiotic environment. We summarize the results of several studies ...
Exquisitely preserved fossil snakes of messel: Insight into the evolution, biogeography, habitat preferences and sensory ecology of early boas
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2020-03-13)
Our knowledge of early evolution of snakes is improving, but all that we can infer about the evolution of modern clades of snakes such as boas (Booidea) is still based on isolated bones. Here, we resolve the phylogenetic ...
The putative phosphate transporter PitB (PP1373) is involved in tellurite uptake in Pseudomonas putida KT2440
(2020)
Tellurium oxyanions are chemical species of great toxicity and their presence in the environment has increased because of mining industries and photovoltaic and electronic waste. Recovery strategies for this metalloid that ...
Influência do tempo de extração e da razão amostra: solvente no processo de extração do óleo do caroço do pequi visando a produção de biodiesel
(Universidade Federal do TocantinsBRPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Agroenergia - PPGAPalmas, 2017)
Secondary xylem of stem and root of cerrado woody plants: anatomical and functional approach
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp), 2021-10-08)
The plant's ability to invest in the wood tissue in different organs is crucial to its survival in terrestrial environments. Wood is a complex system linked to water transport, mechanical support, and storage of essential ...
Model for estimation of copper release to drinking water from copper pipes
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2012)
Modelling and prediction of the copper concentration released from copper plumbing tubes due to corrosion, dissolution, precipitation and other processes has not previously been successful. The model presented here is based ...
