Chameleons communicate with complex colour changes during contests: different body regions convey different information.
Many animals display static coloration (e.g. of feathers or fur) that can serve as a reliable sexual or social signal, but the communication function of rapidly changing colours (as in chameleons and cephalopods) is poorly understood. We used recently developed photographic and mathematical modelling tools to examine how rapid colour changes of veiled chameleons Chamaeleo calyptratus predict ag...
متن کاملColour change on different body regions provides thermal and signalling advantages in bearded dragon lizards
Many terrestrial ectotherms are capable of rapid colour change, yet it is unclear how these animals accommodate the multiple functions of colour, particularly camouflage, communication and thermoregulation, especially when functions require very different colours. Thermal benefits of colour change depend on an animal’s absorptance of solar energy in both UV–visible (300–700 nm) and near-infrare...

15 صفحه اولUsing sounds to convey complex information
Mathematicians who are blind must rely on non-visual representations of mathematical material. This paper describes sound-based representations which have been designed, implemented and evaluated as part of the development of a computer workstation for blind mathematics students. Particular emphasis has been on supporting synthetic speech with non-verbal cues, in the forms of the prosodic compo...
متن کاملDifferent Cytotoxic Effects of Caper from Different Geographical Regions May Be Related to Changes in Mitochondrial Sirt3
Background and objectives: Beside its nutritional role, caper (Capparis spinosa) has long been used as an analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anti-cancer remedy. In the present study, we tested whether this plant can make effective changes in Sirt3 and mitochondrial function in colorectal carcinoma cell line since mitochondrial dysfunction has long been imp...
