Do pigs find a familiar odourant attractive in novel surroundings?
Sixty-four DurocxLandrace pigs (Sus scrofa) of both sexes were reared from birth to 6 weeks of age in either fresh air or an atmosphere containing an artificial odourant (Ambi-Pur). Their behavioural responses to a novel environment (a modified open field) were then observed over 1h when the test arena contained either the familiar Ambi-Pur odourant or ammonia gas at 45ppm. Although members of ...
متن کاملWhy do females find ornaments attractive? The coercion-avoidance hypothesis
Vertebrates show two major classes of sexually dimorphic traits: weaponry and ornaments. However, Darwin could not explain why their expression varies so much across lineages. We argue that coercion-avoidance can explain both the existence and taxonomic distribution of ornaments. Females maximize their fitness when they can freely choose their mates, but males are expected to use sexually dimor...
متن کاملNeural progenitors find VEGF attractive
Cells need backward motor to move forward ytoplasmic dynein associates with a variety of intracellular cargos and pulls them toward the minus ends of microubules. But this retrograde motor protein is also essential for forward cell migration, as Dujardin et al. demonstrate on page 1205. After observing dynein and its associated regulatory proteins at the leading edges of migrating cells in a mo...
متن کاملSperm and scrambled eggs
A newspaper obituary not long ago revealed that its subject was believed to have been both the son and grandson of the lecherous monarch, Edward VII. (Work it out for yourself.) But this is as nothing to the conundrums that Lee Silver sets out in his mesmerizing vision of our genetic future. Within weeks of the eruption of Dolly the sheep into the pages of Nature — and regardless of the doubts ...
متن کاملDo attractive bosons condense?
Motivated by experiments on bose atoms in traps which have attractive interactions (e.g. 7Li), we consider two models which may be solved exactly. We construct the ground states subject to the constraint that the system is rotating with angular momentum proportional to the number of atoms. In a conventional system this would lead to quantised vortices; here, for attractive interactions, we find...
