Lampreys are primitive fish that rely significantly on olfactory cues throughout their complex life cycle. The olfactory system of the sea lamprey (<i>Petromyzon marinus</i>) is among the best characterized in vertebrates. In recent decades, tremendous advances have been made by isolatin...

ABSTRACT Why animals migrate is a fundamental question in biology. While the adaptive significance of some animal migrations is well understood (e.g., to find food, to pursue more‐favorable habitats, to spawn, or to give birth), others remain unknown. The adaptive significance of whale migration, fo...

Given the growing emphasis on life-cycle analysis in bridge design, the design community is transitioning from the concept of performance-based design in structural engineering to a performance-based design approach within a life-cycle context. This approach considers various indicators, including c...

Hypopigmented mycosis fungoides (MF) is a rare variant of mycosis fungoides that creates diagnostic challenges as it can mimic other more common hypopigmented skin conditions clinically. Herein we present a case of a 31-year-old female with hypopigmented MF with typical histopathological features an...

Abstract Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are a versatile statistical framework commonly used in ecology to characterize behavioural patterns from animal movement data. In HMMs, the observed data depend on a finite number of underlying hidden states, generally interpreted as the animal's unobserved...

Abstract The proper numerical representation of physical processes in mechanistic hydrological models is essential to produce robust predictions. A common problem with numerical schemes in hydrological models is that multiple concurrent fluxes are calculated sequentially. Although the importance of...

Indaziflam was evaluated in Connecticut and Tennessee for weed control and safety of container-grown ornamental plants. Indaziflam was applied at 49, 98, or 196 g ha−1 to container-grown ornamental plants on an outdoor gravel pad and also applied preemergence or early postemergence to weeds in a gre...

Sexual minority men (SMM) experience anti-SMM stressors and have elevated rates of mental health issues compared to heterosexual men, such as depression. Importantly, strengths-based factors may directly increase wellbeing and provide a buffer against the detrimental effects of such stressors. In th...

As a communicative activity, argumentation has been characterized as a specific type of speech act. In the analysis of the speech act of arguing, I have distinguished two illocutionary levels: one related to the speaker’s utterance and the other related to the communicative exchange involving the sp...

Sometimes we argue about cats or about whether there is a largest prime number. Other times we argue about arguments. When we do this, we engage in meta-argument. Most accounts of meta-argument in the literature view it retrospectively: we meta-argue about arguments that have already been made. In...
