Disappearing Scales in Carps: Re-Visiting Kirpichnikov's Model on the Genetics of Scale Pattern Formation by Laura Casas (471953)

“…We observed phenotypic changes which were not restricted to nudes, as described by Kirpichnikov, but were also present in mirrors (and presumably in linears as well; not analyzed in detail here). We propose that the gradation of phenotypes observed within the scattered group is caused by a gradually decreasing level of signaling (a dose-dependent effect) probably due to a concerted action of multiple pathways involved in scale formation.…”

Effects of nitrogen application rate, nitrogen synergist and biochar on nitrous oxide emissions from vegetable field in south China by Qiong Yi (3931826)

“…Excessive fertilizer N application resulted in N loss through nitrous oxide gas emitted from the vegetable fields.

The assessment of biases in the acoustic discrimination of individuals by Pavel Linhart (445337)

“…In agreement with our expectations, discrimination performance decreased with population size. Increasing the number of calls per individual linearly increased the discrimination of individuals (but not the discrimination of calls), likely because it allows distinction between individuals with very similar calls. …”

Effect of infection-induced immune response (NFkB) on keratinocyte differentiation motif. by Elisa Domíguez-Hüttinger (21513142)

“…The larger the NFkB level is, the smaller the activation threshold level for the calcium (<i>C</i>+), making the system more sensitive to barrier damage. (B) <i>C</i>+ linearly decreases with NFkB (variation of NFkB: 0:0.01:1).…”
