Patterns of orchid bee species diversity and turnover among forested plateaus of central Amazonia by Yasmine Antonini (3927365)

“…We found 55 bee species distributed along the nine sampling sites (plateaus) with 17 of them being singletons. There was a significant decrease in species richness with decreasing size of plateaus, and a significant decrease in the similarity in species composition with greater distance and climatic variation among sampling sites. …”

Effect of adaptation on the Perceptual Score. by Aiswaryah Radhakrishnan (541663)

“…Simultaneous Vision shows an initial linear increase (small red open circles, slope = 0.87, r = 0.97, p = 0.13), similar to the Pure Defocus behavior, a maximum at 0.5 D (double circle) and a decrease (large red open circles, slope = −0.3, r = 0.94, p<0.02) for defocus higher than 0.5 D. …”

Long-term trends in the Twitter activity. by Riccardo Fusaroli (4062676)

Video_2_Spatiotemporal Mapping of the Contracting Gravid Uterus of the Rabbit Shows Contrary Changes With Increasing Gestation and Dosage With Oxytocin.WMV by Corrin M. Hulls (7905464)

“…Together these results suggest that progressive smooth muscle hypertrophy and displacement with increasing gestation is accompanied by a decrease in smooth muscle connectivity causing an increase in wall compliance and that oxytocin restores connectivity and decreases compliance, promoting volumetric expulsion rather than direct propulsion of the fetus by peristalsis. …”

The effects of contrast and contrast adaptation on HWHH. by Lionel G. Nowak (373941)

“…The effect of matched contrast adaptation is a narrowing of the distributions, with the largest shift observed for the low contrast. …”

Data_Sheet_1_The Combined Effects of Warming and Body Size on the Stability of Predator-Prey Interactions.PDF by Pavel Kratina (702924)

“…We experimentally tested how water temperature alters the functional response and population stability of dragonfly nymphs (Cordulegaster boltonii) feeding on freshwater amphipods (Gammarus pulex) across a gradient of their body size ratios. Attack coefficients were highest for small predators feeding on small prey at low temperatures, but shifted toward the largest predators feeding on larger prey in warmer environments. …”

Phosphorus Forms in Sediments as Indicators of Anthropic Pressures in an Agricultural Catchment in Southern Brazil by Tales Tiecher (4630222)

Data from: Eyes wide shut: the impact of dim-light vision on neural investment in marine teleosts by Teresa L. Iglesias (3249435)

“…Here, we use X‐ray microtomography and phylogenetic comparative methods to examine the relationships between diel activity pattern, optic morphology, trophic guild, and investment in the optic tectum across the largest radiation of vertebrates—teleost fishes. We find that despite driving the evolution of larger eyes, enhancement of the capacity for dim‐light vision generally is accompanied by a decrease in investment in the optic tectum. …”
