Data from: Radar wind profilers and avian migration - a qualitative and...
1. Radars of various types have been used in ornithological research for about 70 years. However, the potential of radar wind profiler (RWP) as a tool for biological purposes remains poorly understood....

Ethological views of brain functioning suggest that sound representations and computations in the auditory neural system are optimized finely to process and discriminate behaviorally relevant acoustic...
View ArticleData from: Relationship type affects the reliability of dispersal distance...
Estimating dispersal - a key parameter for population ecology and management - is notoriously difficult. The use of pedigree assignments, aided by likelihood-based softwares, has become popular to...

Knowledge on the structure and distribution of genetic diversity is a key aspect in order to plan and execute an efficient conservation and utilization of the genetic resources of any crop as well as...
View ArticleData from: Environmental structure and energetic consequences in groups of...
Microenvironments can have considerable physiological consequences for the inhabitants by influencing the movements of individual members. The microenvironment can permit more diverse aggregation...
View ArticleData from: How spatial release from masking may fail to function in a highly...
Spatial release from masking (SRM) occurs when spatial separation between a signal and masker decreases masked thresholds. The mechanically-coupled ears of Ormia ochracea are specialized for hyperacute...
View ArticleData from: New perspectives on frontal variability in the southern ocean
The frontal structure of the Southern Ocean is investigated using the Wavelet/Higher Order Statistics Enhancement (WHOSE) frontal detection method, introduced in Chapman (2014). This methodology is...
View ArticleData from: The roles of ecology, behavior and effective population size in...
Organismal traits such as ecological specialization and migratory behavior may affect colonization potential, population persistence, and degree of isolation, factors that determine the composition and...

Objective: The goal of this prospective observational present study was to identify adverse events (AEs) related to the use of intravenous access sites for infective endocarditis (IE) treatment in a...
View ArticleData from: Automated deep-phenotyping of the vertebrate brain
Here we describe an automated platform suitable for large-scale deep-phenotyping of zebrafish mutant lines, which uses optical projection tomography to rapidly image brain-specific gene expression...
View ArticleData from: TAPBPR bridges UDP-glucose:glycoprotein glucosyltransferase 1 onto...
Recently we revealed that TAPBPR is a peptide exchange catalyst important for optimal peptide selection by MHC class I molecules. Here we asked if any other co-factors associate with TAPBPR which would...

Alternative reproductive tactics, whereby members of the same sex use different tactics to secure matings are often associated with conditional intrasexual dimorphisms. Given the different selective...
View ArticleData from: Revealing the biochemical and genetic basis of color variation in...
Determining the mechanistic and genetic basis of animal coloration is essential to understand the costs and constraints on colour production, and the evolution and maintenance of phenotypic variation....

A lower jaw of the mesonychian Hapalodectes is reported from Nongshanian sediments (Upper Doumu Formation; middle Paleocene) of the Qianshan Basin (Anhui Province, China). The fragmentary mandible is...
View ArticleData from: Modelling enrolment in Cambrian trilobites
Trilobites were capable of enroling in different ways based on the flexible articulation of thoracic segments and associated interlocking devices; the type of enrolment (spiral or sphaeroidal) is...
View ArticleData from: Random sequences are an abundant source of bioactive RNAs or peptides
It is generally assumed that new genes arise through duplication and/or recombination of existing genes. The probability that a new functional gene could arise out of random non-coding DNA is so far...
