Introduction The development of a sustainable, profitable, and competitive egg-production system is becoming a challenging issue facing the laying-hen industry. The excretion and volatilization of nitrogen and the emission of volatile organic compounds of dietary origin are responsible for a large part of the environmental issues that have risen from the intensive poultry production. Especially...

Diplocirrus Haase, 1915, includes flabelligerids having cylindrical to club-shaped bodies, with cirriform papillae, multiarticulate chaetae in both parapodial rami, 8 branchial filaments of two types (thick and rarely lamellate, or cirriform), gonopodial lobes in chaetigers 5 or 6, or multiple gonopores along some anterior chaetigers. Bradiella Rullier, 1965, has included only the type species:...

OBJECTIVES To establish whether a questionnaire incorporating MacKie's risk factor flow chart can identify patients at high risk for melanoma so that they can be targeted for primary and secondary prevention. To validate the risk score derived from the questionnaire and test the feasibility of self completion by comparing patients' self reported skin characteristics with a skin examination perf...

The murine genes, Foxc1 and Foxc2 (previously, Mf1 and Mfh1), encode forkhead/winged helix transcription factors with virtually identical DNA-binding domains and overlapping expression patterns in various embryonic tissues. Foxc1/Mf1 is disrupted in the mutant, congenital hydrocephalus (Foxc1/Mf1(ch)), which has multiple developmental defects. We show here that, depending on the genetic backgro...

Many anthomedusan jellyfish swim when ambient illumination is interrupted (Passano, Mackie & De Ceccatty, 1967; Ohtsu & Yoshida, 1973; Anderson & Mackie, 1977). This shadow response has been attributed to the ocelli, which are located at the margin of the bell. However, in some anthomedusae, it has been demonstrated that the motor neurones that innervate the swimming musculature are, themselves...
