Changing the light schedule in late pregnancy alters birth timing in mice

Amano, Tomoko ; Ripperger, Jürgen A. ; Albrecht, Urs

In: Theriogenology, 2020, vol. 154, p. 212–222

In rats, birth timing is affected by changes in the light schedule until the middle of the pregnancy period. This phenomenon can be used to control birth timing in the animal industry and/or clinical fields. However, changes in the light schedule until the middle of the pregnancy period can damage the fetus by affecting the development of the major organs. Thus, we compared birth timing in...

Integrated bio- and cyclostratigraphy of Middle Triassic (Anisian) ramp deposits, NW Bulgaria

Ajdanlijsky, George ; Strasser, André ; Götz, Annette E.

In: Geologica Carpathica, 2019, vol. 70, no. 4, p. 325–354

A cyclostratigraphic interpretation of peritidal to shallow-marine ramp deposits of the early Middle Triassic (Anisian) Opletnya Member exposed in outcrops along the Iskar River gorge, NW Bulgaria, is presented. Based on facies trends and bounding surfaces, depositional sequences of several orders can be identified. New biostratigraphic data provide a time frame of the studied succession with...

An emerging system to study photosymbiosis, brain regeneration, chronobiology, and behavior: the marine acoel symsagittifera roscoffensis

Arboleda, Enrique ; Hartenstein, Volker ; Martinez, Pedro ; Reichert, Heinrich ; Sen, Sonia ; Sprecher, Simon ; Bailly, Xavier

In: BioEssays, 2018, vol. 40, no. 10, p. 1800107

The acoel worm Symsagittifera roscoffensis, an early offshoot of the Bilateria and the only well-studied marine acoel that lives in a photosymbiotic relationship, exhibits a centralized nervous system, brain regeneration, and a wide repertoire of complex behaviors such as circatidal rhythmicity, photo/geotaxis, and social interactions. While this animal can be collected by the thousands and...

The early to middle triassic continental–marine transition of NW Bulgaria: sedimentology, palynology and sequence stratigraphy

Ajdanlijsky, George ; Götz, Annette E. ; Strasser, André

In: Geologica Carpathica, 2018, vol. 69, no. 2, p. 129–148

Sedimentary facies and cycles of the Triassic continental–marine transition of NW Bulgaria are documented in detail from reference sections along the Iskar river gorge between the villages of Tserovo and Opletnya. The depositional environments evolved from anastomosing and meandering river systems in the Petrohan Terrigenous Group to mixed fluvial and tidal settings in the Svidol Formation,...

Winter weather affects asp viper Vipera aspis population dynamics through susceptible juveniles

Altwegg, Res ; Dummermuth, Stefan ; Anholt, Bradley R. ; Flatt, Thomas

In: Oikos, 2005, vol. 110, no. 1, p. 55-66

Detailed studies on mammals and birds have shown that the effects of climate variation on population dynamics often depend on population composition, because weather affects different subsets of a population differently. It is presently unknown whether this is also true for ectothermic animals such as reptiles. Here we show such an interaction between weather and demography for an ectothermic...
