A general tenet in stress physiology is that the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis predominantly produces one glucocorticoid (GC) in response to stressors. However, most vertebrates produce both cortisol and corticosterone, these steroids...
Genetic Structure of the Rocky Intertidal Stalked Barnacle Capitulum mitella Across the Northwest Pacific and Southeast Asia: Influences of Pleistocene Climate Changes and Contemporary Oceanographic Regimes [0.03%]

Capitulum mitella, the intertidal stalked barnacle, is a common commercial seafood throughout East Asia. This study investigates the phylogeography of this species across the South China Sea and northwestern Pacific using the mitochondrial ...
Evidence for the Loss of Pneumatization and Pneumosteal Tissues in Secondarily Aquatic Archosaurs [0.03%]
次级水生副龙类中气室和气室组织丢失的证据
P J Byrne,N D Smith,E R Schachner et al.
P J Byrne et al.
The evolutionary origins of the avian air sac pulmonary system are enigmatic due to the rarity of soft-tissue preservation in fossils. Here, we test whether fine anchoring fibers on the endosteal bone of bird and non-avian dinosaur vertebra...
Wing Morphology, Foraging Strategies, and Flight Performance in Six Sympatric Species of Molossid Bats (Chiroptera: Molossidae) from Argentina [0.03%]

Differences in total wing area and shape have long been emphasized in relation to flight and foraging performance in bats. Molossid have a high species richness in the northern portion of Argentina, with many of them coexisting in sympatry ...
Classification of Odor-Derived Electroantennograms with Machine Learning [0.03%]
基于机器学习的昆虫触角电位分类方法综述
