CrayŽ sh show many behavioral and morphological adaptations that serve to exploit chemical information in an aquatic environment. The primary chemosensory structure, the outer branch of the antennule, varies morphologically among species. A reasonable approach to the study of these variations is to compare morphological structures from crayŽ sh living in different environments. The potential of...

The morphologies and passive electrical parameters of fibres in two eye muscles of a surface- and a cave-dwelling crayfish were compared. In the cave-dwelling form the muscles contained fewer fibres, of less diameter, and hence had a smaller cross-sectional area. Current-voltage relationships were similar in both species. Input resistance was higher in the cave-dweller, but the difference was n...

The paper analyzes the “Origin” and the “Derivative” of Hakka Enclosed Dwelling’s by a specific transmutation instance of Longsheng House of Liuzhou in Qing Dynasty, and researches on Hakka Enclosed Dwelling’s layout, size, and the transmutation of forms. It points out that as one of the fittest to the environment among the vernacular dwelling, Enclosed Dwelling’s construction site and defence ...

Habitat use may lead to variation in diversity among evolutionary lineages because habitats differ in the variety of ways they allow for species to make a living. Here, we show that structural habitats contribute to differential diversification of limb and body form in dragon lizards (Agamidae). Based on phylogenetic analysis and ancestral state reconstructions for 90 species, we find that mult...

Natural and anthropogenic disturbances alter canopy structure, understory vegetation, amount of woody debris, and the litter and soil layers in forest ecosystems. These environmental changes impact forest communities, including ground-dwelling invertebrates that are key regulators of ecosystem processes. Variation in frequency, intensity, duration, and spatial scale of disturbances affect the m...

Nutritional health of community-dwelling elders has been shown to be one of the prime indices of health, influencing the elders' ability to live independently. However, little research has been directed toward understanding the dynamics of nutritional health in community-dwelling elders using a multidimensional theory approach. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dynamics of nutrition...

This thematic issue re-articulates the question of housing as an architectural and planning problem examines how architecture can contribute to reduce divorce between provision research. The articles included in investigate terminology used designate a way relation housing, architecture, planning, theorize language emergence new varied modes inhabiting. Built on heterogeneous corpus terms, offe...

primary man in trying to find food went everywhere. but by forming ranching arranged a chain of places and became emigrant. by happening industrial revolution, human life was centralized on one place.  places that base on its advantages make different biologic and behavioral types. forming cities in seaboard, river shore, boundary of mountains and champaign cause to make different cultures that...

Abstract Space Syntax researchers have asserted that the spatial configuration of planning a work architecture, such as house, reflects how social properties are inscribed in its design. In housing, inscriptions through space, which promote particular way dwelling, not initially determined by inhabitants. However, appropriation, inhabitants mold space to their liking, challenging preconceived w...
