Resource partitioning is essential for coexistence of phylogenetically related species in altered environments, where changes biotopes can limit resources and change ecological strategies. We investigated resource between two congeneric catfishes (Hypostomus affinis H. luetkeni) three niche dimensions (trophic, spatial, temporal) a Neotropical reservoir. tested the hypothesis that use different...

Temporality is one of the key components our experience, but experience time hardly and same for all us throughout lives. The in its entirety not solid simple. It a fluid complex phenomenon consisting multitude dimensions. In medical phenomenology phenomenological psychopathology there are ample cases different temporal experiences analysed context illness experience. However, only few attempts...

In this perspective paper, we examine possible premises of plasticity in the neural substrates underlying cognitive change. We take the special role of the medial temporal lobe as an anchoring point, but also investigate characteristics throughout the cortex. Specifically, we examine the dimensions of evolutionary expansion, heritability, variability of morphometric change, and inter-individual...

The contribution of time to the encoding of information by the nervous system is still controversial. The olfactory system is one of the standard preparations where this issue is empirically investigated. For instance, output neurons of the antennal lobe or the olfactory bulb display odor stimulus induced temporal modulations of their firing rate at a scale of hundreds of milliseconds. The role...

We investigated the responses of single neurons in the middle temporal area (MT) of anesthetized marmoset monkeys to sine-wave gratings of various lengths and widths. For the vast majority of MT cells maximal responses were obtained on presentation of gratings of specific dimensions, which were typically asymmetrical along the length and width axes. The strength of end inhibition was dependent ...

Grading dozens of Petri net models manually is a tedious and error-prone task. In this paper, we present Grade/CPN, a tool supporting the grading of Colored Petri nets modeled in CPN Tools. The tool is extensible, configurable, and can check static and dynamic properties. It automatically handles tedious tasks like checking that good modeling practise is adhered to, and supports tasks that are ...
