Abstract
We overturn this received wisdom by showing from a theoretical physical perspective that absolute depth could be estimated during fast, steady vertical displacements by combining a measurement of vertical speed with a measurement of the fractional rate of change of swim-bladder volume. This mechanis...

Abstract
A young, female black-eared kite was rescued from a small reservoir adjacent to a rice paddy in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The bird was given a fluid diet through the esophagus and started to eat by herself from the fifth day. Her fecal samples were examined for parasites on the seventh day and fluke...

Abstract
We compared the complete sequences of the avirulent NDV isolate Goose/Alaska/415/91 and its virulent variant strain 9a5b, which was obtained by nine and five passages in the chick air sac and brain, respectively. Seven amino acid substitutions were detected in the M, F, and HN proteins. Two were det...

We examined the expression of pbx1 during zebrafish development by in situ hybridization. pbx1 transcripts could be detected in the central nervous system and pharyngeal arches from 24 hpf onwards. In the swim bladder anlage, pbx1 was detected as early as 28 hpf, making it the earliest known marker...

The presence of postcranial pneumaticity in sauropod and theropod dinosaurs suggests that some form of air sac system was also present...

This simple model is built from identifying dynamical elements which allow to reproduce the shape of the pressure pattern corresponding to one syllable type. Remarkably, integrating that sim...
