DENSITY-DEPENDENCE OF NESTLING IMMUNE FUNCTION AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CONDITION IN SEMI-PRECOCIAL COLONIAL BIRD: A CROSS-FOSTERING EXPERIMENT

Density-dependence of nestling immune function and physiological condition in semi-precocial colonial bird: a cross-fostering experiment

Abstract Background Nesting in large aggregations provides several important advantages for colonially breeding birds.However, it also imposes certain costs, associated with facilitated pathogen Shakers transmission and social stress.The cost-benefit ratio is not similar for all the birds in a colony and it might be mediated by nest density.To inve

Temperature and medium structurization effect on spontaneous evolution of domains and bubbles in magnetic nanostructures

Spontaneous evolutions of domains in magnetic nanowires and of magnetic bubbles in open ferromagnetic nanolayers are investigated using micromagnetic simulations.We compare temperature dependent dynamics of domain wall (DW) systems in Permalloy (Py) nanowires and systems of chiral DWs in ultra-thin nanowires with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (

Genetic diversity assessment of sesame core collection in China by phenotype and molecular markers and extraction of a mini-core collection

Abstract Background Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the four major oil crops in China.A sesame core collection (CC) was established in China in 2000, but no complete study on its genetic diversity has been carried out at either the phenotypic or molecular level.To provide technical guidance, a theoretical basis for further collection, effecti
