Rapid nectar meal effects on a predator’s capacity to kill mosquitoes
(The Royal Society, 2015)Using Evarcha culicivora, an East African jumping spider (Salticidae), we investigate how nectar meals function in concert with predation specifically at the juvenile stage between emerging from the egg sac and the first ... -
Rapid recovery following short termacoustic disturbance in two fish species
(2016)Noise from human activities is known to impact organisms in a variety of taxa, but most experimental studies on the behavioural effects of noise have focused on examining responses associated with the period of actual ... -
Ravens New Caledonian crows and jackdaws parallel great apes inmotor self-regulation despite smaller brains
(2016)Overriding motor impulses instigated by salient perceptual stimuli represent a fundamental inhibitory skill. Such motor self-regulation facilitates more rational behaviour, as it brings economy into the bodily interaction ... -
Receiving of emotional signal of pain from conspecifics in laboratory rats
(2015)Though recent studies have shown that rodents express emotions with their face, whether emotional expression in rodents has a communicative function between conspecifics is still unclear. Here, we demonstrate the ability ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 1: Circuits Regulating Pleasure and Happiness: A Focus on Addiction, Beyond the Ventral Striatum
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)A recently developed anatomical model describes how the intensity of reward-seeking and misery-fleeing behaviours is regulated. The first type of behaviours is regulated within an extrapyramidal cortical–subcortical circuit ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 2: Epigenetics and Drug Abuse
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Gene expression and inheritance are not only a function of the DNA code, but also epigenetic mechanisms that regulate DNA accessibility, transcription, and translation of the genetic code into a functional protein. Epigenetic ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 3: Alcohol Cues, Craving, and Relapse: Insights from Animal Models
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Alcoholism is a chronic relapsing and remitting disorder, where relapse to drinking is often triggered by an intense desire for alcohol (craving) and the consequent motivation to obtain alcohol (seeking). Environmental ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 4: Dopamine and Alcohol Dependence: From Bench to Clinic
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Alcohol dependence, a chronic relapsing psychiatric disorder, is a major cause of mortality and morbidity. The role of dopamine in alcohol‐induced reward as well in the development of alcohol dependence is reviewed herein. ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 5: Contribution of Noradrenaline, Serotonin, and the Basolateral Amygdala to Alcohol Addiction: Implications for Novel Pharmacotherapies for AUDs
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Alcohol use disorders (AUDs) constitute one of the 10 leading causes of preventable deaths worldwide. To date, there are only a few Food and Drug Administration (FDA)‐approved medications for AUDs, all of which are only ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 6: Substance Abuse Therapeutics
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)This chapter provides a broad overview of therapies for substance abuse. These therapies are understood in the context of the history of drug use in the United States and factors that influenced the expansion and regulation ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 7: Dual Diagnosis Patients First Admitted to a Psychiatric Ward for Acute Psychiatric Patients: 2-Year Period 2003–2004 versus 2013–2014
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Dual diagnosis (DD) is the coexistence of severe mental illness (SMI) and substance use disorder (SUD). The increase of DD observed in recent years has important implications for mental health services organization. The ... -
Recent Advances in Drug Addiction Research and Clinical Applications. Chapter 8: Review of Current Neuroimaging Studies of the Effects of Prenatal Drug Exposure: Brain Structure and Function
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2016)Neuroimaging tools have provided novel methods for understanding the impact of prenatal drug exposure on brain structure and function and its relation to development and behavior. Information gained from neuroimaging studies ... -
Reduced entomopathogen abundance in Myrmicaant nests
(2015)Social insects such as ants have evolved collective rather than individual immune defence strategies against diseases and parasites at the level of their societies (colonies), known as social immunity. Ants frequently host ... -
Regional differentiation and extensive hybridization between mitochondrial clades of the Southern Ocean giant sea spider Colossendeis megalonyx
(2015)Assessing the enormous diversity of Southern Ocean benthic species and their evolutionary histories is a central task in the era of global climate change. Based on mitochondrial markers, it was recently suggested that the ... -
Regulatory mechanisms of group distributions in a gregarious arthropod
(2015)In a patchy environment, how social animals manage conspecific and environmental cues in their choice of habitat is a leading issue for understanding their spatial distribution and their exploitation of resources. Here, ... -
The relationship between pond habitat depth and functional tadpole diversity in an agricultural landscape
(2015)One of the most important goals of biodiversity studies is to identify which characteristics of local habitats act as filters that determine the diversity of functional traits along environmental gradients. In this study, ... -
The relationships of the Euparkeriidae and the rise of Archosauria
(2016)For the first time, a phylogenetic analysis including all putative euparkeriid taxa is conducted, using a large data matrix analysed with maximum parsimony and Bayesian analysis. Using parsimony, the putative euparkeriidDorosuchus ... -
Relationships within Cladobranchia based on RNA-Seq data
(2015)Cladobranchia (Gastropoda: Nudibranchia) is a diverse (approx. 1000 species) but understudied group of sea slug molluscs. In order to fully comprehend the diversity of nudibranchs and the evolution of character traits ... -
Remote sensing and conservation of isolated indigenous villages in Amazonia
(2014)The vast forests on the border between Brazil and Peru harbour a number of indigenous groups that have limited contact with the outside world. Accurate estimates of population sizes and village areas are essential to begin ...
