Crosses between natural populations of two species of deer mice, Peromyscus maniculatus (BW), and P.polionotus (PO), produce parent-of-origin effects on growth and development.BW females mated to PO males (bwxpo) produce growth-retarded but otherwise healthy offspring.In contrast, PO females mated to BW males (POxBW) produce overgrown and severely
Anuran males and females adopt different reproductive and behavioral strategies in different contexts.We investigated the reproductive ecology and territorial behavior of the treefrog Boana goiana (B.Lutz, 1968) from the Brazilian Cerrado.We hypothesized that competitor density/proximity would increase the behavioral responses of B.goiana males, an
BackgroundFibromyalgia is a common pain condition that often leads to significant disability.Unfortunately, the effectiveness of most medications for fibromyalgia is limited, and there is a need for alternative, non-pharmacological therapies.Yoga and aerobic exercise are both evidence-based non-pharmacological treatments for fibromyalgia.However, n
Penetration of Variable Renewable Energy (VRE) is a challenge for safe grid integration.The short-term variation of solar irradiance, which is initiated by moving clouds, causes fluctuations in Solar Photovoltaic (SPV) power generation and can jeopardize grid stability.The fluctuations in the output power of the SPV plants are the reason for the dy
Abstract Introduction Umbrella review is one of the terms used to describe an overview of systematic reviews.During the last years, a rapid increase in the number of umbrella reviews on epidemiological studies has been observed, but there is no systematic assessment of their methodological and reporting characteristics.Our study aims to fill this g
