Thermoregulation by kangaroos from mesic and arid habitats: influence of temperature on routes of heat loss in eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) and red kangaroos (Macropus rufus).

We examined thermoregulation in red kangaroos (Macropus rufus) from deserts and in eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus) from mesic forests/woodlands. Desert kangaroos have complex evaporative heat loss mechanisms, but the relative importance of these mechanisms is unclear. Little is known of the abilities of grey kangaroos. Our detailed study of these kangaroos' thermoregulatory response...

Monkeys, Kangaroos, and N

We examine some points of the rationale underlying the choice of priors for MAXENT image reconstruction. The original combinatorial (monkey) and exchangeability (kangaroo) approaches each contains important truth. Yet each also represents in a sense an extreme position which ignores the truth in the other. The models of W. E. Johnson, I. J. Good, and S. Zabell provide a continuous interpolation...

nature neuroscience • volume 2 no 3 • march 1999 The involvement of the hippocampal formation in learning has been recognized for decades1,2, but the cellular mechanisms underlying this association remain enigmatic. The hippocampal formation produces new neurons throughout adulthood in many vertebrates, from birds to primates3–8; however, although the number of neurons produced is high, the fun...
