An abstract that needs work (and the title could use help also): (Modified to protect the innocent) Effects of synthetic goopogen on flabby tissue transcriptome in mice measured by serial analysis of gene expression In order to characterize the action of the hormone goopogen on flabby tissue, we have investigated the effects of goopectomy (GPX) and synthetic goop (SG) replacement on global gene...

Identifying pathways that animals use to move among ecosystems has become a focus for improving conservation planning. The function of habitat corridors in facilitating animal movement among terrestrial ecosystems is well established. By contrast, the role of habitat corridors for the movement of marine animals is poorly understood. We used underwater video cameras to evaluate the effects of se...

OBJECTIVE To assess the degree, cause, and consequence of delays from presenting signs to diagnosis of retinoblastoma. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted of 64 consecutive patients who presented to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center with newly diagnosed retinoblastoma. Seven patients with a positive family history were excluded. RESULTS The median times from presenti...

Selective mortality during the early life stages in marine organisms can affect the magnitude and composition of recruitment, yet these processes have not been examined in economically important predatory coral reef fishes. Utilizing 3 different stage-specific sampling techniques (shipboard plankton tows, larval light traps, juvenile surveys/seines), we repeatedly sampled multiple cohorts of 3 ...

This study aims to determine the effect of area, size and season on chemical composition Sphyraena barracuda from Sudanese Red Sea Coast. A total 180 fish samples were collected Port Sudan Sawakin fishing sites during winter summer 2020-2021. The fishes sample ranged between (30 - 50) cm in length (250 1000) gm body weight small size, (60 90) (1250 250) for large size. Fish flesh was subject gr...

Colour vision and colour signals are important to aquatic animals, but light scattering and absorption by water distorts spectral stimuli. To investigate the performance of colour vision in water, and to suggest how photoreceptor spectral sensitivities and body colours might evolve for visual communication, we model the effects of changes in viewing distance and depth on the appearance of fish ...
