UNDERSTANDING THE LOSS OF MATERNAL CARE IN AVIAN BROOD PARASITES USING PREOPTIC AREA TRANSCRIPTOME COMPARISONS IN BROOD PARASITIC AND NON-PARASITIC BLACKBIRDS

Parental care is critical for offspring survival in many species.However, parental behaviors have been lost in roughly 1% of avian species known as the obligate brood parasites.To shed light on molecular and neurobiological mechanisms mediating brood parasitic behavior, we compared brain gene expression patterns between two brood parasitic species

The aim of this study was to evaluate the amount and quality of water in the Magdalena-Eslava river system and to propose alternatives for sustainable water use.The system is the last urban river in the vicinity of Mexico City that supplies surface water to the urban area.Historical flow data were analyzed (1973-2010), along with the physicochemica

Background: A direct aspiration technique recently approved to be not inferior to stent retrieval as a mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke patients with a large vessel occlusion.Few reports use distal access catheters for aspiration.Objectives: Our study aims to evaluate distal access catheters as a first pass approach of thrombus asp

In North America there are 32 species of Kermesidae in five genera, but in northeastern Girls Spring Top North America there are only nine species in four genera (Eriokermes, Nanokermes, Allokermes, and Kermes).The Allokermes spp.that are of economic importance in Florida are A.cueroensis (Cockerell), A.galliformis (Riley), and A.kingii (Cockerell)

The purpose of this work is to consider the possibility of nonlinear influence of social media algorithms to the users opinions.A social media inherent algorithm of information ranging interacts with the user inherent bias and that increases the positive feedback loop.The result of this interaction is receiving by the user the only one side of an o
