Role of histamine as a putative inhibitory transmitter in the honeybee antennal lobe [0.03%]
组胺在蜜蜂触角叶中的拟突触抑制传递体作用的研究
Silke Sachse,Philipp Peele,Ana F Silbering et al.
Silke Sachse et al.
Background: Odors are represented by specific spatio-temporal activity patterns in the olfactory bulb of vertebrates and its insect analogue, the antennal lobe. In honeybees inhibitory circuits in the AL are involved in t...
Fundamental difference in life history traits of two species of Cataglyphis ants [0.03%]
两种Cataglyphis属蚂蚁的生活史特征的根本差异
Markus Knaden,Rüdiger Wehner
Markus Knaden
Background: The two sympatric species of Tunisian desert ants, Cataglyphis bicolor and C. mauritanica, do not exhibit any differences in their foraging ecology, e.g. in food preferences and in their spatial and temporal a...

Background: Insect ears contain very different numbers of sensory cells, from only one sensory cell in some moths to thousands of sensory cells, e.g. in cicadas. These differences still await functional explanation and es...
Cell lineage analysis of the mandibular segment of the amphipod Orchestia cavimana reveals that the crustacean paragnaths are sternal outgrowths and not limbs [0.03%]
细齿无节Saltides细胞谱系分析表明甲壳动物副咽茎流出芽形成并非附肢形成

The question of arthropod head segmentation has become one of the central issues in Evolutionary Developmental Biology. The number of theories pertaining to head segments progressively enlarges, old concepts have been revitalized, and nearl...
Music notation: a new method for visualizing social interaction in animals and humans [0.03%]
音乐记谱法：一种可视化动物和人类社会互动的新方法
Ivan D Chase
Ivan D Chase
Background: Researchers have developed a variety of techniques for the visual presentation of quantitative data. These techniques can help to reveal trends and regularities that would be difficult to see if the data were ...

Background: Nests are built in various animal taxa including fish. In systems with exclusive male parental care, the choice of a nest site may be an important component of male fitness. The nest site may influence male at...
The development of the larval nervous system, musculature and ciliary bands of Pomatoceros lamarckii (Annelida): heterochrony in polychaetes [0.03%]
Pomatoceros lamarckii（环节动物）的幼虫神经系统、肌肉和纤毛带的发育：多毛类动物中的异时性
Carmel McDougall,Wei-Chung Chen,Sebastian M Shimeld et al.
Carmel McDougall et al.
Background: To understand the evolution of animals it is essential to have taxon sampling across a representative spread of the animal kingdom. With the recent rearrangement of most of the Bilateria into three major clade...
Comparison of geometric morphometric outline methods in the discrimination of age-related differences in feather shape [0.03%]
几何形态计量轮廓法在鉴别年龄相关羽形差异上的比较
H David Sheets,Kristen M Covino,Joanna M Panasiewicz et al.
H David Sheets et al.
Background: Geometric morphometric methods of capturing information about curves or outlines of organismal structures may be used in conjunction with canonical variates analysis (CVA) to assign specimens to groups or popu...
