Species' life history traits, including maturation age, number of reproductive bouts, offspring size and number, reflect adaptations to diverse biotic and abiotic selection pressures. A striking example of divergent life histories is the evolution of either iteroparity (breeding multiple times) or semelparity (breed once and die). We analysed published data on salmonid fishes and found that sem...

C. elegans, both in the wild and in the lab, live on a diet of live bacteria. The bacterial diet provides nutrients for C. elegans, but can also play a number of other roles in C. elegans physiology. Recently, we compared the effects of different bacterial diets on life history traits and gene expression. Here, we discuss our recent findings in the context of other dietary studies and highlight...

The effects of larval densities of one to four individuals in standard Drosophila-vials (diameter 25 by 95 mm) on the age at pupation, starved dry weight, and wing length of Culex pipiens quinquefasciatus Say were studied. This approach required relatively few larvae per replicate and included a control treatment, where individual larvae developed in the absence of competition. This design also...

It is a relatively common sight to see men pull down their trousers and underwear quickly urinate at every any available place. This also sometimes done in public open places, with no regard decency, not minding who looking indecent exposures. act could be into stagnant gutters, by road sides, market squares, major parks etc. Even women are left out this unhygienic exposure, but more discreet. ...

My comments on Lea et al.’s review discussing “developmental plasticity: bridging research in evolution human health” will focus on the implications of developmental plasticity on human life history parameters. Today, it is well-known that members of the same sex, age and even species differ dramatically in anatomical, physiological and behavioral traits and that this kind of variation is due t...

Mendelian traits are considered to be at the lower end of the complexity spectrum of heritable phenotypes. However, more than a century after the rediscovery of Mendel's law, the global landscape of monogenic variants, as well as their effects and inheritance patterns within natural populations, is still not well understood. Using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we performed a species-wide ...

This study will look at the protection provided by law for Indonesian workers who are threatened with death sentence overseas and steps taken administration to provide such protection. migrant from Indonesia or Migrant Workers parties very vulnerable indecent treatment, physical psychological violence, intimidation, discrimination, injustice. Collecting data in research using normative study. S...

The article analyzes the composition of nonviolent sexual crimes, responsibility for which is provided by current norms Criminal Code Republic Turkey. These include: act with a minor (article 104), harassment 105) and indecent acts 225). There no legal definition in Turkish legislation. Nevertheless, on basis established law enforcement practice systematic interpretation criminal law, doctrine ...

The dung beetle, Onthophagus taurus, was introduced <50 years ago from its native Mediterranean range into Western Australia (WA) and the Eastern United States (EUS). The intensity of intra- and interspecific competition for dung as a breeding resource is substantially higher in WA. First, we tested whether differential resource competition in the two exotic ranges is associated with divergence...

The limited number of studies reporting emotional memory impairments in adults with psychopathic traits has not yet been replicated in conduct disordered adolescents with callous unemotional (CU) traits. This study aimed to test the developmental hypothesis that emotional memory will also be impaired in conduct disordered adolescents with CU traits on similar memory tasks. Eighty-four conduct d...
