Method for the assessment of neuromuscular integrity and burrowing choice in vermiform animals.
BACKGROUND The study of locomotion in vermiform animals has largely been restricted to animals crawling on agar surfaces. While this has been fruitful in the study of neuronal basis of disease and behavior, the reduced physical challenge posed by these environments has prevented these organisms from being equally successful in the study of neuromuscular diseases. Our burrowing assay allowed us ...
متن کاملPollinators are attracted to mounds created by burrowing animals (marmots) in a Mongolian grassland
Burrowing by semi-fossorial rodents modifies soil properties and plant communities. The effects of this burrowing on plants, however, are typically evaluated only by assessing changes in photosynthetic or production traits, not pollination traits. Therefore little is known about the indirect effects of burrowing on pollinators through its effects on the emergence of insect-pollinated plants. We...
متن کاملBurrowing owls and burrowing mammals: are ecosystem engineers interchangeable as facilitators?
Terrestrial vertebrates exhibit dynamic, positive interactions that form and dissolve under different circumstances, usually with multiple species as participants. Ecosystem engineers are important facilitators of other species because they cause physical changes in the environment that alter resource availability. Although a species can be associated with more than one partner, facilitators ma...
متن کاملA Comparative Study of Nesting Sites and Burrowing Habits of Two Iranian Burrowing Scorpions
BACKGROUND The different features of scorpions can be successfully described by their nesting and burrowing behaviors. There is little information about burrowing activity of Iranian scorpions. METHODS The current study was performed to compare the burrowing behavior between two burrowing Iranian scorpions, Scorpio maurus and Odonthubutus bidentatus by describing 30 nests of each species rega...
متن کاملAnisotropy driven ultrafast nanocluster burrowing.
We explore the occurrence of low-energy and low-temperature transient cluster burrowing leading to intact cluster inclusions. In particular, the anomalously fast (ballistic) Pt nanocluster implantation into Al and Ti substrates has been found by molecular dynamics simulations using a tight-binding many-body potential with a 1-10 eVatom low impact energy. A similar behavior has also been found f...
