The contribution of structural-, psittacofulvin- and melanin-based colouration to sexual dichromatism in Australasian parrots.
Colour ornamentation in animals is exceptionally diverse, but some colours may provide better signals of individual quality or more efficient visual stimuli and, thus, be more often used as sexual signals. This may depend on physiological costs, which depend on the mechanism of colour production (e.g. exogenously acquired colouration in passerine birds appears to be most sexually dichromatic). ...

متن کاملStrictly Pretty
Pretty printers are tools for formatting structured text. A recently taken algebraic approach has lead to a systematic design of pretty printers. Wadler has proposed such an algebraic pretty printer together with an implementation for the lazy functional language Haskell. The original design causes exponential complexity when literally used in a strict language. This note recalls some propertie...

متن کاملAcute pancreatitis in parrots.
Acute pancreatitis was diagnosed in three parrots. Antemortem diagnosis of pancreatitis in the avian patient is rarely documented, and should be suspected in birds showing clinical signs attributable to abdominal pain or gastro-intestinal dysfunction. However, not all birds with confirmed pancreatitis display these signs. A serum amylase level greater than 1,500 U/L is suggestive of pancreatiti...
