(Hofmeyr, 2004). Unfortunately, thehormonal regulationunderlying this pattern has not yet been studied. The smallest tortoise,Homopus signatus signatus, also produces single egg clutches in the extremely arid southwestern Africa, but only in spring (August to October (Loehr, Henen, &Hofmeyr, 2004)...
The area between the adjacent bones is the joint cavity, a space lined by a membrane that secretes a lubricant called synovial fluid, which resembles egg white in consistency. This fluid nourishes cartilage cells of the joint and is confined to the joint by the fibrous joint capsule, a sac ...
that began in the 19th century it became possible to think about a possibility no one had dared to dream before. The fear at the center of daily living since caveman days-lack of food warmth, shelter-would at last lose its power to terrify. ...
volcanic activity of Piton des Neiges (see discussion above). There is multiple evidence that the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM; 26.5–19 kyr) was colder and drier across the WIO, with a substantial decrease in the annual mean temperature (ca. − 4 °C than in the present days), a red...
There is evidence that diet and nutrition are modifiable risk factors for several cancers, but associations may be flawed due to inherent biases. Nutritional epidemiology studies have largely relied on a single assessment of diet using food frequency questionnaires. We conduct an umbrella review of me...
Although native to North America, the invasion of the aphid-like grape phylloxera Daktulosphaira vitifoliae across the globe altered the course of grape cultivation. For the past 150 years, viticulture relied on grafting-resistant North American Vitis
which converted SMILES into vector representation by identifying molecular substructures. This method was combined with GBM for training and testing in pACT values prediction, providing a benchmark comparison with our methodology. Our comparison also extended to the models that relied solely on atom-wise...
our cook, prepared the meals. After my fastidious father had washed, shaved and donned his meticulous clothes, he woke me and carried me downstairs to our imposing dining room. I kept him company while he drank his coffee and ate a soft-boiled egg and hard roll slathered with butter and ...
While asymmetries appear in the posthatching dentition (e.g., delays in shedding at bilateral positions, or synchrony of different positions), the highly symmetrical pattern established in the egg appears to be maintained to a large extent, whenassessed in terms of the shedding pattern. The propo...
Traits that define the life cycle of an organism (eg, size at birth, growth pattern, mode of reproduction, age and size at reproductive maturity, size of offspring, fecundity, reproductive life span, longevity). Oviparous Egg laying; offspring are nourished by and develop within eggs outside ...
