High-throughput DNA sequencing technology was utilized to describe the protein coding regions of genomic DNA (the transcriptome) for both Western Fence Lizard (Sceloporus occidentalis, WFL) and Japanese Quail (Coturnix coturnix, JQ). 928,759 and 559,819 total transcriptomic sequences for WFL and JQ, respectively, were clustered and assembled. Assembled unigenes with lengths ≥200 base pairs were...

Many precocial birds show a robust preference for the maternal call of their own species before and after hatching. This differential responsiveness to species-specific auditory stimuli by embryos and neonates has been the subject of study for more than four decades, but much remains unknown about the dynamics of this ability. Gottlieb [Gottlieb [1971]. Development of species identification in ...

Definitions. Let X be an arbitrary set, J^ a Borel-field of some subsets B of X, and 9ii(jQ the family of all probability measures defined on J¿, i.e. the totality of all countably additive, non-negative set functions m(B), BE/¿, for which m(X) = 1. Henceforth the word "measure" denotes an element of M(jQ) and the expression "set of measures" a subset of Vïl(jQ. Two measures m and m' have been ...
