Abstract:
... The role of phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad in wayfinding was tested in a virtual maze employing dual-task paradigm through two experiments. Experiment 1 was designed to detect the effects of experimental conditions (control/phonological dual-task/visuospatial dual-task group) and gender on wayfinding performance. The results showed that it took more time in dual-task groups than the ...

Abstract:
... In many locations, the highest proportion of roaming dogs and cats, might have owners. The prevention of roaming in owned dogs and cats is a key intervention to reduce the number of unsupervised animals in public spaces. Sterilization is an important population management intervention but it is unclear if, apart from its effects on birth rates and animal behavior, it also affects the roaming statu ...

Abstract:
... Animals that aggregate in leks to attract mates often time the production of their mating signals against the signals of neighboring conspecifics. Such signal timing usually falls into general patterns within these aggregations, which can be categorized based on the amount of overlap between the signals. In many species, individuals produce signals in an alternating pattern, avoiding signal overla ...

Abstract:
... Aquaporins (AQPs) are a family of transmembrane channel proteins responsible for the transport of water and small uncharged molecules. Thirteen distinct isoforms of AQPs have been identified in mammals (AQP0-12). Throughout the male reproductive tract, AQPs greatly enhance water transport across all biological barriers, providing a constant and expeditious movement of water and playing an active r ...

Abstract:
... Rats first given 24-h access to 10% sucrose for 4 or 12 days (Stage 1) were then switched to a saccharin solution for a 12-day Stage 2. The initial result of this switch was that these Sucrose groups drank less saccharin than Water groups that had been given only water to drink in Stage 1. This difference was maintained throughout Stage 2 by the females that served in Experiments 1 and 4 and by th ...

The diverticula are curved hook-like lobes, open to the body cavity and densely filled with tracheae and threads made by unit ...

Abstract:
... Crime-scenes are the heart of any investigation in terms of recovery of key forensic evidence - fingermarks and DNA. Yet, quite often, the operational work of the forensic units, in which different chemicals and reagents for fingermarks development are applied, can also be highly destructive to the property and the environment. Hence, for both ecological and intelligence purposes, an operational m ...

However, we still do not have a good understanding of whether or how individual genital traits function in different competitive arenas (episodes of sexual selection), or how different genital traits may interact to ...

Among the monocot AGO homologs, AGO18 occupies a unique position. Previous ...

Abstract:
... The osteometric methods are the most reliable way to estimate the sex of skeletons when DNA analysis is not used. However, as osteometric studies usually ignore the overlap in male and female skeletal dimensions, they rarely achieve accuracy sufficient for forensic application. To resolve this issue, recent studies suggest sex estimation only when posterior probability (pp) is greater than 0.95, b ...

We studied this case of uncertain identity by using traditional Sanger sequencing techniques (COI and seven nuclear gene ...
