Objective: Compulsive hoarding remains a significant public health issue, with many sufferers failing to acknowledge the problem.A number of methodological approaches have been utilised to explore and explain this complex phenomenon, though few have made use of contemporary visually inspired approaches.In an earlier study, it was found that visual
Schistosomiasis is a serious global problem and the second most devastating parasitic disease following malaria.Parasitic worms of the genus Schistosoma are the causative agents of schistosomiasis and infect more than 240 million people worldwide.The paucity of molecular tools to manipulate schistosome gene expression has made an understanding of g
(1) Predation selects for antipredator competence in prey.For fishes with parental care, brood predators exert selection on the morphological phenotype of offspring, and also exert strong selection pressure to promote parental care behavior of adults.(2) This review summarizes field and lab studies on the ontogeny of antipredator competence Twin Bo
Dehydration and hypersalinity challenge non-marine organisms crossing the ocean.The rate of water loss and saltwater tolerance thus determine the ability to disperse over sea and further influence species distribution.Surprisingly, this association between physiology and ecology is rarely investigated in terrestrial vertebrates.Here we conducted im
