Limbs in Mammalian Evolution
The more than 4,000 living species of mammal have infiltrated almost every habitat in the world. From alpine mountaintops to plains grasslands, from aerial heights to the depths of the ocean, from slender forest branches to narrow subterranean burrows, mammals occupy an extraordinary variety of substrates. Some are capable of running, swimming, or swinging at great speeds, while others creep sl...
متن کاملSpace Flight Studies Explore Role of Gravity in Mammalian Development
Findings from developmental biology studies involving pregnant rats flown on the Space Shuttle are enhancing understanding of the role of gravity in mammalian development. In addition to showing that pregnancy and gestation can withstand the challenge of microgravity, the studies provide the first scientific evidence that early development of the vestibular system—which senses gravity and regul...
متن کاملEffects of body size on take-off flight performance in the Phasianidae (Aves).
To evaluate the mechanisms responsible for relationships between body mass and maximum take-off performance in birds, we studied four species in the Phasianidae: northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus), chukar (Alectoris chukar), ring-necked pheasant (Phasianus colchicus) and wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo). These species vary in body mass from 0.2 to 5.3 kg, and they use flight almost solely...
متن کاملGeo-referenced flight path estimation based on spatio-temporal information extracted from aircraft take-off noise
a r t i c l e i n f o a b s t r a c t The closer proximity between airports and residential areas has created a growing attention regarding noise pollution. The noise abatement procedures established by the aeronautical authorities and the models for computing noise contours around airports are proof of that. There are also models for identifying aircraft taking off which have focused on the co...
متن کاملCentromeres Take Flight: Alpha Satellite and the Quest for the Human Centromere
If It Looks like a Duck... There is ample evidence implicating a role for alpha satellite in centromere function. The first supportive evidence is " guilt by association " ; alpha satellite is the only known human DNA that is exclusively localized to the centromeric regions of all normal human chromosomes (Figure 1A). The arrays are composed of tandemly arranged 171 bp monomers organized into h...
