Ideal decision-makers should constantly assess all sources of information about opportunities and threats, and be able to redetermine their choices promptly in the face of change.However, perpetual monitoring and reassessment impose inordinate sensing and computational costs, making them impractical for animals and machines alike.The obvious altern
This study investigated the impact of carbohydrate source and fluid passage rate (dilution rate) on ruminal fermentation characteristics and microbial crude protein (MCP) formation.Three commonly used feeds (barley grain [BG], beet pulp socksmith santa cruz [BP], and soybean hulls [SBH]), which differ considerably in their carbohydrate composition,
Abstract Microphilypnus and Leptophilypnion socksmith santa cruz are miniaturized genera within the family Eleotridae.The evolutionary relationships among these taxa are still poorly understood, and molecular analyses are restricted to mitochondrial genes, which have not been conclusive.We compiled both mitochondrial and nuclear genes to study the
Analyses and documentation of Bronze Age armour pieces from eastern and central Europe revealed that a considerable number of fragments previously attributed to olea europaea montra helmets were in fact parts of discs with comparable decoration.The latter consists of single or multiple embossed lines shaped into conjoining arcs arranged in a circle
