Previous studies of foveal visual word recognition provide evidence for a low-level syllable decomposition mechanism occurring during the recognition of a word. We investigated if such a decomposition mechanism also exists in peripheral word recognition. Single words were visually presented to subjects in the peripheral field using a 6° square gaze-contingent simulated central scotoma. In the f...

Four new species of the coral-associated gobiid genus Gobiodon were discovered in the Red Sea. Although several of these species are common not only in the Red Sea but also in the Indian and western Pacific Ocean, they have not been described before. Detailed descriptions of the four species are based on morphological and molecular genetic (mitochondrial 12s and 16s rRNA) investigations. The ne...

The genus Susuacanga Martins, 1997 is redescribed. A new combination, S. blancaneaui (Bates, 1880) comb. nov. and a new synonymy, Eburia unicolor Bates, 1870 = S. octoguttata (Germar, 1821) are proposed. The genus is now composed of 12 species. The geographical distribution of S. opaca is expanded to include Belize. Photographs of Susuacanga species are included and a key to differentiate them ...

Ecological interactions, including competition, predation, and environmental conditions, may significantly impact acoustic signalling behaviour. Here we characterise nocturnal patterns in the bladder grasshopper Bullacris unicolor relate this to biotic abiotic factors, thus providing insights into ecological drivers of Passive recorders monitored calling activity focal species, competitors, pre...

Despite the rapid expansion of the built environment, we know little about the biology of species living in human-constructed habitats. Camel crickets (Rhaphidophoridae) are commonly observed in North American houses and include a range of native taxa as well as the Asian Diestrammena asynamora (Adelung), a species occasionally reported from houses though considered to be established only in gr...

Hundreds of terpenoids have been isolated from Basidiomycota, among them are volatile mono- and sesquiterpenes with amazing sensory qualities, representing a promising alternative to essential oils endangered plant species. Sesquiterpene synthases (STS) appear be an abundant class enzymes in these fungi. The basidiomycete Cerrena unicolor, known sesquiterpene producer, was silico screened for c...

Abstrak. Terdapat 40 jenis spesies rusa di seluruh dunia (Ariantiningsih, 2000), lima diantaranya ada Indonesia yaitu sambar (Cervus unicolor), bawean (Axis kuhlii), timor timorensis), kijang kuning (Muntiacus atherodes) dan muncak muntjak). Hasil penelitian menunjukan tingkat kesejahteraan pada Taman Rusa Sibreh mendapatkan total nilai terbobot rata-rata 65,78%. Penerapan aspek bebas dari rasa...

Dogtooth tuna, Gymnosarda unicolor were sampled off the east coast of Australia (southwest Pacific Ocean) from 2007 to 2012. Ages determined by examining thin transverse sections their sagittal otoliths and based on counts alternating opaque translucent zones (annual growth increments). Growth was rapid during first year life, after which in length much reduced. Parameters constrained von Berta...
