Abstract Polyrhachis lamellidens is a temporary socially parasitic ant whose new queen utilizes other species in the early stages of colony foundation. Field observations and rearing experiments suggest that Camponotus japonicus host P. . It presumed obscuripes also by field observations; however, there are no records workers or brood coexisting C. colonies observations, clear evidence natural ...

This paper attempts to relate robust control and behavioral frameworks by incorporating structured uncertainty into the description of behavioral systems. Behavioral equations are expressed as linear fractional transformations (LFTs) on an uncertainty structure, and a method of interconnection is outlined. A method for obtaining input-output maps from LFT representations of behavioral systems i...

Here we describe a staged, behavioral testing approach that can be used to screen for compounds that exhibit in vivo efficacy on cognitive and functional motor behaviors in transgenic mouse models of β-amyloidosis and tauopathy. The paradigm includes tests for spontaneous alternation in a Y-maze, novel object recognition, and limb clasping. These tests were selected because they: 1) interrogate...
