Latencies of conditioned vocal responses to hearing test tones in killer whales (Orcinus orca) by Jared Stephens, Alyssa W. Accomando, Alyssa W. Accomando, Kayla Nease, Kayla Nease, Brian K. Branstetter, Brian K. Branstetter, Todd R. Robeck

“…Understanding the effect of sound frequency and level on perceived loudness would improve prediction and modeling of anthropogenic noise impacts on marine mammals.MethodsIn this study, behavioral hearing tests conducted with two killer whales were analyzed to capture conditioned vocal response latency, which is the time between the onset of the acoustic signal and the onset of the response (i.e., reaction time).ResultsThe results showed that vocal reaction times decreased with increasing sensation level (i.e., sound pressure level above the baseline hearing threshold), while the effect of frequency on reaction time varied between the subjects. …”

Distribution of morphological traits in ornamental peach cultivars according to their priority by L. D. Komar-Tyomnaya

“…The identified new traits and gradations, which were absent in the previously accepted expert examination procedures, expand the conception of ornamental peach variability. Thirty-one traits characterizing the plant’s overall ornamental appearance during the flowering period were classified as first-priority traits; six of them (tree height, tree habit, flower color, flower shape, double-flowering degree and flowering time) are recommended for classifying cultivars into groups.…”
