Dad then scratched himself by pushing his back against the stiff branches of a bush, and then both coyotes headed over to where the prey had been found in the ground. But there was nothing else to be had from that location. Ahh, that’s life! The youngster turned to Dad and began gro...
an online self-guided 7-session intervention for parents of young (2–6 years old) children. The program is informed by social cognitive, self-regulation, and habit formation theoretical models and uses self-regulatory techniques as self-monitoring, goal setting, and feedback to...
Humpback whale songs from the ASSO shared phrase types with all the breeding and migration route/mid-latitude feeding ground songs included in the comparative analyses (Ecuador, Chile, Brazil, South Africa, and Namibia). The comparison of phrase repertoires revealed a high overlap (> 80%) betw...
Male mice on NPYwt/wt and NPY∆/∆ background were singly housed and provided with food hoppers for food intake measurements for, at least, 10 days prior to the experiments. At the beginning of the dark phase, mice received fresh cages without food. Following a 16 h fast, food hop...
Background WHO/UNICEF recommends that women in resource-poor developing countries- like the Gambia, should exclusively breastfeed their infants for the first six months of their lives because of its health benefits to both mother and infant. The study aimed to explore the cultural beliefs, attitude...
Background First Nations (FN) women have a higher risk of diabetes than non-FN women in Canada. Prenatal education and breastfeeding may reduce the risk of diabetes in mothers and offspring. The rates of breastfeeding initiation and participation in the prenatal program are low in FN communities...
Background The Hemiptera (aphids, cicadas, and true bugs) are a key insect order, with high diversity for feeding ecology and excellent experimental tractability for molecular genetics. Building upon recent sequencing of hemipteran pests such as phloem-feeding aphids and blood-feeding bed bugs, we ...
Background The true bugs (Heteroptera) occupy nearly all of the known ecological niches of insects. Among them, as a group containing more than 30,000 species, the phytophagous true bugs are making increasing impacts on agric...
(Hann Window, 1025–1790 window size, 80% overlap, 2048 DFT size; Bioacoustics Research Program 2014). Spectrograms were scanned for humpback whale vocalizations by viewing 60 s windows from 0 to 1.80 kHz. Hours with confirmed humpback whale acoustic presence were separated in hours with ...
