Jaw Protrusion Enhances Forces Exerted On Prey By Suction Feeding Fishes

 15.06.2008 10:11   medicalnewstoday.com

Many bony fishes have the spectacular ability to protrude their jaws forward during prey capture. This innovative behavior is thought to increase the ability of fishes to capture their prey, but exactly how feeding performance is improved is not clear. We adopted a hydrodynamic perspective, and examined the forces exerted on the prey during feeding.

A Simple Modification Of The Hodgkin & Huxley Equations Explains Type 3 Excitability In Squid Giant Axons

 15.06.2008 09:13   medicalnewstoday.com

This paper describes an unusual finding from a well known preparation in neuroscience - squid giant axons. Specifically, the cell fires once and only once in response to a sustained depolarizing current pulse, a result Alan Hodgkin referred to as Type 3 in a classic paper on crustacean axons published in 1948.

Centromeres Cross Over, A Lot

Recombination at centromeres is higher than anywhere else on the chromosome, even though methyltransferases do their best to prevent it, say Jaco et al., as published in the June 16 issue of the Journal of Cell Biology.Centromeric recombination has been hard to study because the DNA at centromeres is so repetitive - it's hard to see when a segment has switched chromatids. Jaco et al.

Phylogenetic Distributions Of British Birds Of Conservation Concern

 15.06.2008 08:11   medicalnewstoday.com

With wildlife populations reportedly plummeting, there is a pressing need to understand what makes some species more threatened than others. Because close relatives of threatened species may share many of their characteristics, it is possible to use information on species' relationships to understand extinction risk. I reconstruct the evolutionary tree of British birds and show that species with declining populations are more closely related to each other than expected.

Effects Of Habitat Quality And Size On Extinction In Experimental Populations

 15.06.2008 08:11   medicalnewstoday.com

In our world of rapidly changing environments, we need to understand how habitat size and quality influence extinction. We examined extinction of experimental Daphnia magna populations in habitats of different size and quality. As expected, we found that extinction was faster in small habitats with less food because these habitats supported smaller populations with lower growth rates.

Worms By Number - Living Organisms Show An Extraordinary Array Of Patterns

 15.06.2008 06:16   medicalnewstoday.com

Living organisms show a remarkable range of patterns. Numerical patterns often can be described using mathematical rules and equations. Until now, nature's patterns in some less well-known creatures like marine worms (Polychaeta) have been overlooked. Some polychaetes show a remarkable alternation pattern in the length and orientation of their fleshy segmental appendages, which they use to sense their environment.
