Abstract Neighbour-stranger discrimination is an important mechanism in social behaviour, as it allows the individual to avoid high energetic costs of repeated agonistic interactions with neighbours. In some anuran species, owners territories respond more aggressively towards strangers than Here, we investigated whether gladiator frog, Boana goiana , males discriminate between neighbours and st...

The role of biogenicity in the mineral world is larger than many might assume. Biological processes and physical chemical interact both at Earth’s surface far underground, leading to formation banded iron manganese deposits, among others. Microbial mats can form giant sedimentary ore which include enrichment further elements. This article reviews ways microbially-mediated contribute mineralizat...

this research explores the effects of three computer-mediated feedback modalities, that is, elicitation, recast, and meta-linguistics, on the learning of english participial, gerund, and infinitival phrases among iranian intermediate-level efl learners. the overriding focus of the present study was to investigate whether different types of feedback given through form-focused computer-human exch...

This study investigates new generations’ perceptual preferenc...

In the last decade, there has been a growth in, what we call, digitally mediated workplaces. A digitally mediated workplace is one where interactions between stakeholders are primarily managed by proprietary, algorithmically managed digital platform. The replacement of the relationships between the stakeholders by the platform is a key feature of these workplaces, and is a contributing factor t...

Geographic variation can be an indicator of still poorly understood evolutionary processes such as adaptation and drift. Sensory systems used in communication play a key role in mate choice and species recognition. Habitat-mediated (i.e. adaptive) differences in communication signals may therefore lead to diversification. We investigated geographic variation in echolocation calls of African hor...
