Functional consequences of animal-to-animal variation in circuit parameters

Sources of variation: Animal microbiota.

The diverse effects of microbiota on animal physiology contribute to experimental variability.

Animal-to-animal variation in fecal microbial diversity among beef cattle.

The intestinal microbiota of beef cattle are important for animal health, food safety, and methane emissions. This full-length sequencing survey of 11,171 16S rRNA genes reveals animal-to-animal variation in communities that cannot be attributed to breed, gender, diet, age, or weather. Beef communities differ from those of dairy. Core bovine taxa are identified.

Anthropomorphism to Zoonoses: Two Inevitable Consequences of Human–Animal Relationships

and characteristics by conversing, walking erectly, dressing in clothing, and inhabiting houses. Across myriad cultures and throughout history, stories and myths that feature anthropomorphism have helped us understand and relate to the natural world. This device is especially common, even expected, in children’s literature. Among the most enduring anthropomorphic stories is Beauty and the Beast...

Response to Morphine in a unicellular animal model (Paramecium caudatum)

Introduction: Response to morphine and role of Nitric Oxide (NO) on expression of morphine response has been studied in vertebrates. But, little evidence is provided in the matter in earlier invertebrates. This investigation for the first time evaluated the effect of NO on expression of morphine potency in Paramecium caudatum. Methods: Animal after isolation from natural media and specific i...
