EVOLUTION OF EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENTAL PERIOD IN THE MARINE BIRD FAMILIES ALCIDAE AND SPHENISCIDAE: ROLES FOR NUTRITION AND PREDATION?

Evolution of embryonic developmental period in the marine bird families Alcidae and Spheniscidae: roles for nutrition and predation?

Abstract Background Nutrition and 8.03 predation have been considered two primary agents of selection important in the evolution of avian life history traits.The relative importance of these natural selective forces in the evolution of avian embryonic developmental period (EDP) remain poorly resolved, perhaps in part because research has tended to

Influence of Surface Treatments on Urea Detection Using Si Electrolyte-Gated Transistors with Different Gate Electrodes

We investigated the impact of surface treatments on Si-based electrolyte-gated transistors (EGTs) for detecting urea.Three types of EGTs were fabricated with distinct gate electrodes (Ag, Au, Pt) using a top-down method.These EGTs exhibited exceptional intrinsic electrical properties, including a low subthreshold swing of 80 mV/dec, a high on/off c

Butterfly Density and Behaviour in Uncut Hay Meadow Strips: Behavioural Ecological Consequences of an Agri-Environmental Scheme.

Sparing zones from mowing has been proposed, and applied, to improve local conditions for survival and reproduction of insects in hay meadows.However, Me Halloween Costume little is known about the efficiency of refuge zones and the consequences for local populations.We studied population densities of butterflies before and after mowing in the refu
