Mark-recapture data collected using mist nets over a 10-yr period in Trinidad were used to estimate adult survival rates for 17 species of forest passerines. Trinidadian (mean 65%, range 45%-85%) significantly higher than published estimates European 52%, 32%-71%) and North American 53%, 29%-63%) passerines similar body size (equivalent 45% mean life expectancy Trinidad). These findings confirmed after controlling phylogeny method independent contrasts. Transient and/or young birds an...

For many years the Gawler Range, with its strangely-formed hills, which start immediately to west of Port Augusta and extend in a westerly direction for about 200 miles, has been district great interest ornithologist.The late Mr. Stephen Hack was first explore this country, after him Josiah Bonnin, at head small party, traversed these ranges,
The process of cellular autolysis was studied in an industrial strain Penicillium chrysogenum by a range methods, including assessment biomass decline, NH+4 release, changes culture apparent viscosity, and means quantitative micromorphology using computerized image analysis system. pattern total intracellular proteolytic beta-1, 3-glucanolytic activity the also examined. overall aim to identify suitable method, or for examining extent fungal cultures.

ABSTRACT During winter at temperate and high latitudes, the low ambient temperatures, limited food supplies short foraging periods mean small passerines show behavioural, morphological physiological adaptations to reduce risk of facing energy shortages. Peripheral tissues vasoconstrict in temperatures heat loss cold injury. vasoconstriction has been observed with restriction captivity but yet be explored free-ranging animals. We experimentally restricted both wild captive great tits (Parus...
Abstract Urbanisation is a globally occurring phenomenon and predicted to continue increasing rapidly. Urban ecosystems present novel environments challenges which species must acclimate or adapt to. These alter existing create new selection pressures on behaviours provide an opportunity investigate eco-evolutionary responses contemporary environmental change. We used 7 years of breeding data from urban forest populations blue great tits understand whether for timing clutch size differed...
In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe Mik1p, in combination with Wee1p, is an important inhibitor of mitosis through direct phosphorylation Cdc2p. Here we present observation that mik1 + transcribed during G1‐ and S‐phase normally dividing cells. transcription regulated by MCB–DSC1 system, which controls expression other genes at G1–S interval. shown to be target as it epistatic for mitotic delay phenotype displayed cdc10‐C4 cells, are mutated a component DSC1. The cells bypassed...
Urbanisation is often linked with habitat loss and a reduction in species richness but some may be able to adapt urban environments. Water voles Arvicola amphibius, rapidly declining the UK, have recently been recorded isolated grassland habitats Glasgow, Scotland's largest city (human population 1.2 million). The aim of this study was determine distribution characteristics water vole populations occupying these dry grasslands. Field work undertaken from March October 2014 34 km2 area...
