In vivo measurements of [Ca 2+ ] and [CO 3 2− indicate biological control carbonate chemistry at site calcification in corals.
The identification of sea turtle behaviours is a prerequisite to predicting the activities and time-budget these animals in their natural habitat over long term. However, this hampered by lack reliable methods that enable detection monitoring certain key such as feeding. This study proposes combined approach automatically identifies different free-ranging turtles through use animal-borne multi-sensor recorders (accelerometer, gyroscope time-depth recorder), validated video-recorder data. We...
In the context of sexual selection, animals have developed a variety cues conveying information about sex an individual to conspecifics. many colonial seabird species, where females and males are monomorphic do not show obvious differences in external morphology, acoustic important signal for recognition. Here, we study vocal morphological dimorphism King Penguin Aptenodytes patagonicus , colonial, which our knowledge role vocalizations morphology mate choice is very limited. Data were...
To protect the unique and rich biodiversity of Southern Ocean, conservation measures such as marine protected areas (MPAs) have been implemented. Currently, establishment several additional protection zones is being considered based on known habitat distributions key species ecosystems including emperor penguins other top predators. However, distribution at sea often insufficiently sampled. Specifically, current models focus range adult animals neglect that immatures juveniles can inhabit...
Understanding which factors enhance or mitigate the impact of high temperatures on corals is crucial to predict severity coral bleaching worldwide. On one hand, global warming usually associated with ultraviolet radiation levels (UVR), and surface water nutrient depletion due stratification. other eutrophication coastal reefs increases inorganic nutrients decreases UVR, so that effect different combinations these stressors unknown. In this study, we assessed individual crossed effects...
Abstract Background Reef-building corals regularly experience changes in intra- and extracellular H + concentrations ([H ]) due to physiological environmental processes. Stringent control of [H ] is required maintain the homeostatic acid-base balance coral cells achieved through regulation intracellular pH (pH i ). This task especially challenging for reef-building that share an endosymbiotic relationship with photosynthetic dinoflagellates (family Symbiodinaceae), which significantly affect...
Despite the improvement of medulloblastoma (MB) treatments, survivors face severe long-term adverse effects and associated morbidity following multimodal treatments. Moreover, relapses are fatal within a few months. Therefore, chemotherapies inducing fewer and/or improving survival at relapse key for MB patients. Our purpose was to evaluate last-generation antiangiogenic drugs their relevance in therapeutic arsenal MB.We screened three EMA- FDA-approved compounds (axitinib, cabozantinib...

Abstract Bird vocalizations are critical cues in social interactions as they convey temporary information varying with the context, for example, signaler motivation when facing a rival or potential mate. To date, literature mainly focused on learning birds. Burrowing petrels (Procellariidae) nonlearning birds limited vocal repertoire. Bachelor males communicate conspecifics single call emitted three situations: absence of certain auditory (spontaneous calls), toward females (female-directed...
Reproductive success can improve with experience, which increases age in many long-lived species. Signals that provide reliable information about are therefore of importance for mate choice and consequently under sexual selection. In birds, these often vocal signals as well visual the form plumage coloration. King penguins, Aptenodytes patagonicus, sexually monomorphically ornamented seabirds perform a complex acoustic courtship display. Coloured beak spots ear patches contain condition...
In many taxa, breeding success depends heavily on reliable vocal recognition between parents and offspring. Although the acoustic basis of this has been explored in several species, few studies have examined evolution cues to identity across development. Here, a captive program, we investigated for first time signals produced by North African houbara bustard Chlamydotis undulata chicks. Two call types (contact distress) were recorded from 15 chicks 4 age classes. Acoustic analyses showed...
ABSTRACT Evolution of medulloblastoma (MB) treatments has increased the 5-year overall survival to more than 70%. However, an increasing number survivors face severe long-term adverse effects and associated morbidity due multimodal particularly harsh for younger patients. Chemotherapeutic compounds inducing less are key improving care MB The preclinical relevance last generation anti-angiogenic deserves be fully assessed. Among these, axitinib showed highest selectivity index cells,...

This paper includes results centered around three topics, all of them related with the nonlinear stability equilibria in Poisson dynamical systems. Firstly, we prove an energy-Casimir type sufficient condition for that uses functions are not necessarily conserved by flow and takes into account certain asymptotically stable behavior may occur category. method is adapted to systems obtained via a reduction procedure show examples kind propose appropriate when dealing some constrained Finally,...
