The present study sought to uncover what constraints shape the early development of the perceptual–motor skill of catching, and how intrinsic (i.e., movement possibilities) and extrinsic constraints (i.e., object speed imposes temporal precision) impinge on the perception of whether or not a moving object affords catching. Thirty-five infants (with different preferred catching tendencies) betwe...

Formerly thought to be a strictly insectivorous trawling bat, recent studies have shown that Myotis capaccinii also preys on fish. To determine whether differences exist in bat flight behaviour, prey handling and echolocation characteristics when catching fish and insects of different size, we conducted a field experiment focused on the last stage of prey capture. We used synchronized video and...

Fishm~ is the exploitation of the living resources of the sea. In a broad sense, fisheries encompass not only the catching offinfish and invertebrates such as shrimps and squids, but also the collection ofcockles and other bivalves and ofseaweed. and the (largely past) hunting ofmarine mammals. The funning of fish and aquatic invenebrates is also often, if confusingly, considered by many to be ...

It is well known that saturation of ideals is closely related to the “antichain-catching” phenomenon from Foreman-Magidor-Shelah [10]. We consider several antichain-catching properties that are weaker than saturation, and prove: (1) If I is a normal ideal on ω2 which satisfies stationary antichain catching, then there is an inner model with a Woodin cardinal; (2) For any n ∈ ω, it is consistent...
