Effect of Trypsin Inhibitor isolated from Sows' Colostrum on the Absorption of γ-Globulin by Piglets
IT is generally held that the absorption of whole proteins by piglets occurs only during the first two days of life. By this mechanism the baby pig acquires antibodies. For the first 5 days post partum the sow's ...

Behavioural evolution in the cabbage butterfly (Pieris rapae)
Australian and U.K. Pieris rapae differ markedly in their oviposition behaviour; U.K. females produce a more aggregated egg distribution, and lay their eggs more quickly, than do Australian females. The adaptive ...

Reproductive Strategies for the Seasonal Tropics
Because seasonality in tropical habitats is controlled primarily by variations in rainfall rather than variations in temperature, it is frequently less predictable in timing, and spatially more patchy than sea...
