Cave-dwelling animals might be regarded as dead-end points when it comes to their evolution and habitat exploitation. However, in the past different observations of olms’ typical troglomorphic populations have been reported for springs Venetia Giulia, along with a community rich stygobionts (Bressi et al. 1999; Stoch 2017). The aim this work is point out non-random active use surface habitats b...

As with any new and growing field of study, building capacity for research, teaching, and training remains of central importance. Capacity-building in the Physical Activity and Public Health field is perhaps even more critical, given the few formal doctoral training programs in the field and that we are a hybrid of exercise science, behavioral science, and public health science. This supplement...

Recent studies show diabetes can be prevented. Growing knowledge of its biological bases opens further prevention opportunities. This article focuses on behavioral science research that may advance these opportunities. An ecological model guides attention to how prevention research may be pursued at the individual, group, or community levels. Three key areas are reviewed: risk communication, sc...

A functional knockout of Period3 in mice (mPer3(-/-)) results in a mildly altered circadian phenotype, and mPer3 shows a redundant role within the circadian clock. In this study, the authors reevaluated the Per3(-/ -) behavioral phenotype on a C57Bl/6J background and report altered responses to light. In constant light, free-running activity period was shorter than that of wild-type, whereas in...

We consider a population that experienced first wave of infections, interrupted by strong, top-down, governmental restrictions and did not develop significant immunity to prevent second (i.e. resurgence). As are lifted, individuals adapt their social behaviour minimize the risk infection. two scenarios. In first, reduce overall activity towards rest population. scenario, they maintain normal wi...
