Phylogeography of the prehensile-tailed skink Corucia zebrata on the Solomon Archipelago
The biogeography of islands is often strongly influenced by prior geological events. Corucia zebrata (Squamata: Scincidae) is endemic to the geologically complex Solomon Archipelago in Northern Melanesia. We examined the level of divergence for different island populations of C. zebrata and discussed these patterns in light of Pleistocene land bridges, island isolation, and island age. Corucia ...
متن کاملA minimally invasive method for gender determination in the prehensile-tailed porcupine (Coendou prehensilis).
Prehensile-tailed porcupines (Coendou prehensilis), like other rodents, lack external sexual traits, making it difficult to non-invasively determine their gender. By exploiting genetic differences between the X and the Y chromosome, we developed a simple genetic test to determine the gender of Coendous from shed quills. We Sanger sequenced a short portion (195 bp) of the zinc finger protein gen...
متن کامل[Hypercalcemia].
the surgical intensive care unit is not an unusual event.1 Prompt recognition and management of adrenal insufficiency are critical to patient recovery and survival. Although it is an infrequent presenting sign of adrenal insufficiency, hypercalcemia is a well recognized complication of the disorder.2,3 Hypercalcemia has been reported to occur not only with primary hypoadrenalism but also with s...
متن کاملTemporal constraints in the control of prehensile movement.
Three experiments were conducted to investigate the control of the manipulation (i.e., finger-thumb aperture) and transportation (i.e., wrist velocity) components in prehensile movement (Jeannerod, 1981, 1984). In all experiments, subjects were seated and instructed to grasp a dowel mounted on a joystick following a discrete movement over a set distance. Thus, the amount of dowel movement follo...
متن کاملAnalytical Inverse Optimization in Two-Hand Prehensile Tasks.
The authors explored application of analytical inverse optimization (ANIO) method to the normal finger forces in unimanual and bimanual prehensile tasks with discrete and continuously changing constraints. The subjects held an instrumented handle vertically with one or two hands. The external torque and grip force changed across trials or within a trial continuously. Principal component analysi...
