Pygmy and Giant Dipole Resonances in Sn
We report on first results from dipole-strength measurements in the region of unstable nuclei around Sn; experimental details were presented earlier [1]. In brief, such studies are motivated by theoretical predictions of multipole distributions in exotic nuclei differing much from that observed in stable nuclei; aditional strength near the neutron separation threshold, moreover, may have conseq...
متن کاملComparison of two regimes for artifically incubating kiwi eggs
Kiwi hatching success and chick survival were compared under two incubation protocols and two chick-rearing procedures, to fine-tune the procedure and determine best practice in terms of hatching rate, chick survival and growth. Analysis of the combined 1998/1999 and 1999/2000 data show 10 live chicks from 12 eggs incubated under Protocol 1, compared with 7 live chicks from 13 eggs under Protoc...

متن کاملBrood parasites lay eggs matching the appearance of host clutches.
Interspecific brood parasitism represents a prime example of the coevolutionary arms race where each party has evolved strategies in response to the other. Here, we investigated whether common cuckoos (Cuculus canorus) actively select nests within a host population to match the egg appearance of a particular host clutch. To achieve this goal, we quantified the degree of egg matching using the a...
متن کاملNeuroethology: Lemon-Fresh Scent Makes Flies Lay Eggs
A new study reveals how Drosophila uses their sense of smell to decide on where to lay their eggs. These results have exciting implications for the evolution of fruit preference and parasitoid avoidance in fruit flies.
