Variation in pigmentation gene expression is associated with distinct aposematic color morphs in the poison frog Dendrobates auratus
(2019-04-18)
Abstract
Background
Color and pattern phenotypes have clear implications for survival and reproduction in many species. However, the mechanisms that produce this coloration ...
The variability of song variability in zebra finch (Taeniopygia guttata) populations
(2019-04-30)
Birdsong is a classic example of a learned social behaviour. Song behaviour is also influenced by genetic factors, and understanding the relative contributions of genetic and environmental influences remains a major goal. ...
Differential gene expression and gene variants drive color and pattern development in divergent color morphs of a mimetic poison frog
(2019-07-21)
Evolutionary biologists have long investigated the ecological contexts, evolutionary forces, and proximate mechanisms that produce the diversity of animal coloration we see in the natural world. In aposematic species, color ...
MELPF Version 1: Modeling Error Learning Based Post-Processor Framework for Hydrologic Models Accuracy Improvement
(2019-09-23)
This paper studies how to improve the accuracy of hydrologic models using machine-learning models as postprocessors and presents possibilities to reduce the workload to create an accurate hydrologic model by removing the ...
Imaging of morphological and biochemical hallmarks of apoptosis with optimized optogenetic tools
(2019-10-03)
Creation of optogenetic switches for specific activation of cell death pathways can provide insights into apoptosis and could also form a basis for noninvasive, next-generation therapeutic strategies. Previous work has ...
Life in a contaminant milieu: PPCP mixtures generate unpredictable outcomes across trophic levels and life stagest
(2019-12-05)
Nearly all aquatic ecosystems are affected by sublethal levels of anthropogenic chemical contamination, but other agents of large‐scale anthropogenic disruption of ecosystems have received more attention. Consequently, ...
Customer Reviews Analysis With Deep Neural Networks for E-Commerce Recommender Systems
(2019-08-26)
An essential prerequisite of an effective recommender system is providing helpful information
regarding users and items to generate high-quality recommendations. Written customer review is a rich
source of information ...
Construction of realistic hybrid computational fetal phantoms from radiological images in three gestational ages for radiation dosimetry applications
(2019-10-10)
Radiation exposure and associated radiation risks are major concerns for fetal development for
pregnant patients who undergo radiation therapy or diagnostic imaging procedures. In order to
accurately estimate the radiation ...
