Increased sexual dimorphism in dense populations of Olive-backed Sunbirds on small islands: morphological niche contraction in females but not males by Darren P. O’Connell (6495773)

“…Here we investigate sexual dimorphism in morphological niche of Olive-backed Sunbird populations in South-east Sulawesi, Indonesia. We found decreased overlap in morphological niche between females and males on the species-depauperate Wakatobi Islands, in comparison to mainland Sulawesi and its larger continental islands, indicating greater sexual dimorphism on the small islands. …”

Stability and feasibility: Outline. by Michaël Dougoud (3603548)

“…<p>(<b>a</b>) For a system to be feasible, interaction strength has to decrease with complexity. The Y-axis represents an interaction-strength normalizing factor that defines three regimes depending on the parameter <i>δ</i>: strong interactions (<i>δ</i> > 0.5), moderate interactions (<i>δ</i> = 0.5; blue line, with <i>C</i> = 0.4), and weak interactions (0 ≤ <i>δ</i> < 0.5). …”

Optimal MI and optimal MI increase. by Thibaud Taillefumier (737635)

“…In the bottom panels, the white curves represent parameters for which feedbacks cannot improve information transfer (0 bits) or can double the number of distinguishable cell density ranges (1 bit).

Crinecerfont: First Approval by Arnold Lee (8121078)

“…In patients with classic CAH, circulating levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), androstenedione and 17-hydroxyprogesterone are elevated, which traditionally has required supraphysiologic doses of glucocorticoids to manage. As a CRF1 receptor antagonist, crinecerfont acts by reducing systemic ACTH secretion to subsequently decrease elevated levels of steroid precursors and adrenal androgens, thereby reducing the dosage of glucocorticoids required to manage androgen levels in patients. …”
