This memo describes how to carry real time text conversation session contents in RTP packets. Text conversation session contents are specified in ITU-T Recommendation T.140. Two payload formats are described. One for transmitting text on a separate RTP session dedicated for the transmission of text, and one for transmitting audio and text data within one single RTP session. This RTP payload des...

Teleost fishes are the 'champions' of sexual plasticity among vertebrates. Several species have two male reproductive morphs with distinct suites of behavioral, somatic, neuronal, endocrinological, and life history traits. Here, we consider recent studies of the social and neural modulation of sexual plasticity for such species with a focus on two neuropeptides, gonadotropin releasing hormone (...

Previous work in the Wilczynski lab (Dunham et al., 2014) by Leslie Dunham showed that arginine vasotocin (AVT) played a significant role in aggressive behavior in male anoles lizards. A mirror-pairing test was used to simulate the presence of an aggressor and promote aggressive behavior in the male anoles lizard. Male anoles produce aggressive displays when seeing a mirror. Thirty-two male ano...

Vocal learning from social partners is crucial for the successful development of communication in a wide range of species. Social interactions organize attention and enhance motivation to learn species-typical behaviour. However, the neurobiological mechanisms connecting social motivation and vocal learning are unknown. Using zebra finches (Taeniopygia guttata), a ubiquitous model for vocal lea...

The acute effects of intravenously administered lysine-acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) on renal function in the Pekin duck have been studied with special reference to possible interactions with the antidiuretic hormone, arginine vasotocin (AVT), in the control of renal water and solute output. ASA produces an immediate increase in urine flow rate which is dose-related in the range 25 to 100 mg kg-1 ...

Invasive assessment of haemodynamics (ventricular, pulmonary) and testing of acute vasoreactivity in the catheterisation laboratory remain the gold standard for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH) and pulmonary hypertensive vascular disease. However, these measurements and the interpretation thereof are challenging due to the heterogeneous aetiology of PH in childhood and potentially c...
