Intragel oxygen promotes hypoxia tolerance of scyphomedusae.
Populations of jellyfish are known to thrive in many low oxygen environments, however, the physiological mechanisms that permit these organisms to live in hypoxia remain unknown. The oxyregulatory abilities of four species of scyphomedusae were investigated, and it was found that Aurelia labiata, Phacellophora camtschatica, Cyanea capillata and Chrysaora quinquecirrha maintain steady oxygen con...
متن کاملOntological Promiscuity
To facilitate work in discourse interpretation, the logical form of English sentences should be both close to English and syntactically simple. In this paper i propose s logical notation which is first-order and uonintensional, sad for which semantic tnmsla-tion can be naively compositional. The key move is to expand what kinds of entities one allows in one's ontology, rather than complicating ...
متن کاملFemale promiscuity promotes the evolution of faster sperm in cichlid fishes.
Sperm competition, the contest among ejaculates from rival males to fertilize ova of a female, is a common and powerful evolutionary force influencing ejaculate traits. During competitive interactions between ejaculates, longer and faster spermatozoa are expected to have an edge; however, to date, there has been mixed support for this key prediction from sperm competition theory. Here, we use t...
متن کاملPromiscuity punishes sexual deviants.
Sex is good for us, but it is a compromise. For the benefit of being able to produce genetically variable offspring, we must pay the cost of passing on only half our genes to each of them. Whilst evolutionary biologists still puzzle over the precise details of why the benefits of sex so frequently seem to outweigh the costs (Neiman, Lively, & Meirmans, ), one major challenge to sexual reproduct...
متن کاملTranscriptional promiscuity in testes
Numerous genes are expressed preferentially in spermatids, the haploid germ cells of the testis. Although some have defined, spermatid-specific roles, the expression and function of the products of most of these genes are not restricted to spermatids [1]. Examples include transcription factors that have defined functions elsewhere, kinases, metabolic enzymes, and so on. Recently, another group ...
