A variant W chromosome in Centromochlus heckelii (Siluriformes, Auchenipteridae) and the role of repeated DNA in its heteromorphism by Chrystian Aparecido Grillo Haerter, Patrik Ferreira Viana, Fábio Hiroshi Takagui, Sandro Tonello, Vladimir Pavan Margarido, Daniel Rodrigues Blanco, Josiane Baccarin Traldi, Roberto Laridondo Lui, Eliana Feldberg

“…Some of these ITSs might represent genuine chromosomal fusion points due to the reduced 2n; however, additional mechanisms, such as chromosomal inversions, translocations, transpositions, or association with satellite DNA, are likely responsible for this unusual pattern. The 18S rDNA sites were found in both the Z and W chromosomes of all individuals. …”

Impact of Ultrasonic-Assisted Preparation of Water Caltrop Starch–Lipid Complex: Structural and Physicochemical Properties by Kuan-Wei Huang, Lih-Shiuh Lai

“…All samples exhibited the characteristic birefringence of starch-lipid complexes under the polarized microscope, and flake-like and irregular structure under scanning electron microscope (SEM), indicating the formation of complexes through ultrasonic-assisted preparation. X-ray diffraction pattern further confirmed the transition from the original A-type structure for native starch to V-type structure for starch-lipid complexes, and the relative crystallinity of starch-lipid complexes increased as the ultrasound intensity and treatment time increased. …”

Influence of Asian-Pacific Oscillation on Precipitation in Central Eastern China during Autumn (1960–2016) by Zouxing Lin, Jiajin Zhu, Wei Hua, Guangzhou Fan

“…A possible physical explanation for the close association of the APO with tropical circulation changes is that decreased (increased) sea surface temperature in the tropical eastern Pacific (WP and extratropical Pacific) is beneficial for stimulating a strong APO teleconnection pattern, which further affects precipitation in CEC by strengthening the connection between tropical and subtropical regions.…”

A meta-analysis of sex differences in neonatal rodent ultrasonic vocalizations and the implication for the preclinical maternal immune activation model by Alison M. Randell, Stephanie Salia, Lucas F. Fowler, Toe Aung, David A. Puts, Ashlyn Swift-Gallant

“…Specifically, developmental stage is a moderator of sex differences in USV call duration, with control females emitting longer calls than males in early development (up to postnatal day [PND] 8), but this pattern reverses after PND8. MIA leads to a reduction in call numbers for females compared to same-sex controls in early development, with a reversal post-PND8. …”
