Animals commonly modify their behavior in the presence of a conspecific or in response to
signals. This is particularly true in the context of aggressive exchanges, which animals use to …

Signal transmission is influenced by the physics of an environment. Consequently, a physical
effect on sensory signals can influence how animals send or sample sensory information. …

A variety of factors influences the formation of hierarchical structures, and can include an
altered aggressive state, an ability to physically dominate, and previous agonistic experience. …

Spatial distribution functions of atomic densities, SDFs, have been proposed as a natural
starting point for analysis of local molecular structure in liquids and solutions. The local …

Reflection is a cornerstone of most teacher education programs, but common practices have
long been individualistic and this has become increasingly evident in an era when young …

In mammals, cilia are critical for development, sensation, cell signaling, sperm motility, and
