Auditory Sensitivity and Defence Strategy in Insects

Predation pressure is a powerful agent of natural selection and is responsible for the evolution of various antipredator defence strategies in animals. Sensory thresholds for predator detection could play an important role in the evolution of defence strategies. I tested the hypothesis that the ability of animals to detect predators is correlated with defence strategy, with the prediction that ...

Lung defence mechanisms against infection.

The respiratory tract must be open to the environment to allow exchange of gas between air and blood. This renders lhe lungs susceptible to colonization and infection by foreign organisms. It is necessary for lhe lower respiratory tract to have mechanisms to contain and control such foreign material. The gas exchange surface of lhe lung must be thin, delicate and permeable, rhus the mechanisms ...

Defence Mechanisms for Public Systems

The third issue of the fourth volume of the EAI transactions on Security and Safety provides an insight to methods and techniques that improve security, resiliency and privacy of modern systems, such as clouds, moving target defense (MTD)-enabled systems and Blockchains. The articles that constitute this issue focus on three main areas. The first one consists of novel methods that can increase ...

defence mechanisms of the central nervous system

the close relationship between the immune system and the central nervous system (cns) has been well-studied. the cns regulates almost all the functions of the immune system; however, the effect and/or the control of the immune system on the cns has not been well-studied yet. recent reports suggest that the cns has its own defence mechanism(s). in this review, attempts have been made to discuss ...
