Biomechanical models that describe physical and biological interactions on wave-exposed shores typically assume that a species' attachment properties are similar between seasons and sites. We tested this assumption using Hedophyllum sessile to investigate how macroalgal biomechanical attachment properties vary with developmental stage, substratum-type, season, and wave-exposure. Hedophyllum ses...

Secure attachment is important in maintaining an individual’s health and well-being. Attachment disturbances increase the risk for developing psychiatric disorders such as affective disorders. Yet, neurobiological correlates of human are poorly understood at neurotransmitter level. We investigated whether adult style linked to functioning opioid serotonergic systems brain. used positron emissio...
