K-complexes, spindles, and ERPs as impulse responses: unification via neural field theory

To interrelate K-complexes, spindles, evoked response potentials (ERPs), and spontaneous electroencephalography (EEG) using neural field theory (NFT), physiology-based NFT of the corticothalamic system is used...

Polygyny in the nest-site limited acacia-ant Crematogaster mimosae

Polygyny is common in social insects despite inevitable decreases in nestmate relatedness and reductions to the inclusive fitness returns for cooperating non-reproductive individuals. We studied the prevalence...
