Population attributes and migratory dynamics of spawning pink salmon Oncorhynchus gorbuscha were examined in U.S. waters of the St. Marys River from 1998 through 2002. Spawning migrations were monitored twice each week from late August through early October of each sampling year using a single gill net set immediately below their spawning grounds. Pink salmon were captured between 23 August and...

The perceptual pattern in autism has been related to either a specific localized processing deficit or a pathway-independent, complexity-specific anomaly. We examined auditory perception in autism using an auditory disembedding task that required spectral and temporal integration. 23 children with high-functioning-autism and 23 matched controls participated. Participants were presented with two...

The common morning glory (Ipomoea purpurea) is highly polymorphic for flower color. Part of this phenotypic variation is due to allelic variation at the P locus. This locus determines whether flowers will be purple or pink, where purple is dominant to pink. We have determined that the anthocyanin biosynthetic gene flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase (f3'h) corresponds to the P locus. In the pink allele of...

Although females of many species closely related to humans signal their fertile window in an observable manner, often involving red or pink coloration, no such display has been found for humans. Building on evidence that men are sexually attracted to women wearing or surrounded by red, we tested whether women show a behavioral tendency toward wearing reddish clothing when at peak fertility. Acr...

The features of 1/f-noise processes offer important new insights into the field of population biology, greatly helping our quest for understanding and for prediction of ecological processes. 1/f-noises account quite satisfactorily for the observed nature of ecological fluctuations. This article reviews the application of 1/f-noise processes to ecology. After a discussion of the basic problems o...

Pink rot, caused by Phytophthora erythroseptica Pethybr., is an important disease of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) (20). The name of the disease describes a characteristic and diagnostic pink color that appears after infected tissue has been cut and exposed to air for 20 to 30 min (8,12,17). Other symptoms of pink rot include dark discoloration of the skin and lenticels of infected parts, purpl...

Maternal, Paternal, & Child Predictors of Externalizing Behaviors: Parental Externalizing, Parenting Behaviors and Child Self-Regulation Amber Fitzpatrick Predictors for externalizing behavior were investigated in a high-risk sample of males. Parental antisocial histories, parental behaviors and child self-regulation were considered in relation to boys’ externalizing problems during the transit...

Introduction: Kaposi sarcoma (KS) is an HIV associated skin lesion. Kaposi sarcoma is rare in HIV negative patients and is associated with HHV-8 infection. Clinically it presents as a pink nodular mass, single or multiple which can mimic pyogenic granuloma and bacillary angiomatosis. The etiology associated with HHV-8. Treatment options modalities can vary between from electrocuatery to surgica...
