A critical step in understanding the evolution and maintenance of alternative reproductive tactics is to obtain accurate comparisons of their fitness and to determine factors influencing individual status. In this study, we first used individual multilocus genotypic information to compare reproductive success between two alternative reproductive tactics of anadromous Atlantic salmon (Salmo sala...

Although food resource partitioning among sympatric species has often been explored in riverine systems, the potential influence of prey diversity on resource partitioning is little known. Using empirical data, we modeled food resource partitioning (assessed as dietary overlap) of coexisting juvenile Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) and alpine bullhead (Cottus poecilopus). Explanatory variables in...

In many species genes move over limited distances, such that genetic differences among populations or individuals are expected to increase as a function of geographical distance. In other species, however, genes may move any distance over a single generation time, such that no increase of genetic differences is expected to occur with distance. Patterns of gene dispersal have been assessed typic...

We designed AM1241, a selective CB2 cannabinoid receptor agonist, and used it to test the hypothesis that CB2 receptor activation would reverse the sensory hypersensitivity observed in neuropathic pain states. AM1241 exhibits high affinity and selectivity for CB2 receptors. It also exhibits high potency in vivo. AM1241 dose-dependently reversed tactile and thermal hypersensitivity produced by l...

In many taxa there is considerable intraspecific variation in life history strategies from within a single population, reflecting alternative routes through which organisms can achieve successful reproduction. Atlantic salmon Salmo salar (Linnaeus) show some of the greatest within-population variability in life history strategies amongst vertebrates, with multiple discrete male and female life ...

The paper is focused on the Word Error Rate (WER) estimation in Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) as specified in Annex A of the IEEE Std. 1241. The aim is to give a contribution for the next version of such standard. A new statistical approach for WER estimation, that can better integrate what it is stated in the standard, is proposed. In particular, Student’s t and chi-square distributions ...
