Oil bees, which gather oil from flowers, transfer the floral oil collected from fore-legs, to middle-legs, and then to hind-legs, where they store the oil until release in the nest's brood cell. The complex leg maneuvers and the specialized...
Comparative Study of Sun Compass Orientation in Migrating Anadromous versus Resident Freshwater Threespine Sticklebacks (Gasterosteus aculeatus) [0.03%]

In the northern coastal hemisphere, different ecotypes of the threespine stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus) can be distinguished phenotypically by a different number of lateral bone plates and by their body shape and size. We focused on (...
Activation of the sympathetic-adrenal-medullary system increases DNA damage during the transition to captivity [0.03%]

Prior work has demonstrated that both acute and chronic stress can increase the number of double-stranded breaks detected in DNA and that the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis is the primary driver of increases in DNA damage during acute ...
Energetics and Oxidative Status: Seasonal Variation in Blood Oxidative Stress Metrics in Four Species of Small Birds from a Cold Winter Climate [0.03%]
小型鸟类冬孢抗氧化能力的季节变化:以冬季寒冷气候下的四种小鸟为例
