The presence of parasites can significantly influence animal behavior. Specifically, grooming behavior may have evolved in part as a response to the physical and psychological challenges induced by parasitism. Grooming behaviors, which can ...
Mormyrid fish as models for investigating sensory-motor integration: A behavioural perspective [0.03%]

Animals possess senses which gather information from their environment. They can tune into important aspects of this information and decide on the most appropriate response, requiring coordination of their sensory and motor systems. This in...
Small increases in group size improve small shoals' response to water flow in zebrafish [0.03%]

Social context may influence the perception of sensory cues and the ability to display refined behavioral responses. Previous work suggests that effective responses to environmental cues can be contingent on having a sufficient number of in...

In Africa, bat-borne zoonoses emerged in the past few decades resulting in large outbreaks or just sporadic spillovers. In addition, hundreds of more viruses are described without any information on zoonotic potential. We discuss important ...
Low genetic diversity in the masked palm civet Paguma larvata (Viverridae) [0.03%]
小齿花鼠(Paguma larvata)的低遗传多样性研究

The masked palm civet is distributed through south-east Asia, China and the Himalayas. Because of its potential role in the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic, it has become important to gather information on this species, an...
Mouse (Mus musculus) stocks derived from tropical islands: new models for genetic analysis of life-history traits [0.03%]
来自热带岛屿的小鼠（鼷鼠）种群作为生命史性状遗传分析的新模型

Richard A Miller et al.
Founder effects, together with access to unoccupied ecological niches, may allow rodent populations on isolated islands to evolve constellations of life-history traits that distinguish them from their mainland relatives, for example in body...
Body elongation and decreased reproductive output within a restricted clade of lizards (Reptilia: Scincidae) [0.03%]

Relationships between body shape and relative abdominal size were compared among differentially elongate species within the scincid lizard genus Brachymeles, to investigate how morphological evolution affects the proportion of body volume a...

A total of 622 skin specimens, 527 skeletons, and myological data compiled by Schreiweis (1972) were used to investigate morphometric patterns within and among the 18 Recent species of Spheniscidae, and to compare the family with a fighted ...
Gearing effects of the patella (knee extensor muscle sesamoid) of the helmeted guineafowl during terrestrial locomotion [0.03%]
头盔 Guinea鸡陆地运动中髌骨的齿轮效应（膝屈肌籽骨）
V R Allen,R E Kambic,S M Gatesy et al.
V R Allen et al.
Human patellae (kneecaps) are thought to act as gears, altering the mechanical advantage of knee extensor muscles during running. Similar sesamoids have evolved in the knee extensor tendon independently in birds, but it is unknown if these ...
