© 2018 Elsevier B.V. Abalones are especially susceptible to environmental lighting conditions. This factor greatly affects crucial biological process such as feeding rates, energy balance, physiological stress status, and ...

Honeybees are a standard model for the study of appetitive learning and memory. Yet, fewer attempts have been performedto characterize aversive learning and memory in this insect and uncover its molecular underpinnings. ...

The manipulation of intermediate host behavior may increase chances of parasite transmission to the definitive host. In freshwater environments of the Neotropical Region, studies on behavioral manipulations by parasites ...

We studied the behavioural response of body lice and head lice to white light. We also evaluated the influence of starvation and the presence of other individuals on this response. Experiments were performed in a rectangular ...

We assess the potentiality of several geometries of metallic nanodimers (one of the simplest thermoplasmonic systems) as candidates for active particles (nanoswimmers) propelled and controlled by light (phototaxis). The ...

Background: As a result of evolution, the biology of triatomines must have been significantly adapted to accommodate trypanosome infection in a complex network of vector-vertebrate-parasite interactions. Arthropod-borne ...

Ao amanhecer e anoitecer, quando os níveis de luz no ambiente são menores do que o dia, abelhas crepusculares saem dos seus ninhos em busca de flores. Essas abelhas exploram flores de antese noturna, como as polinizadas ...
