Influence of landscape on foraging range and homing ability of afrotropical stingless bees
A bee’s ability to return home, its homing ability, can be used as a proxy for the maximum foraging distance of that species. Body size is...

Homing of a butterflyfish in the temperate western Pacific Ocean
Homing behaviour—a well-known instinct in animals—has fascinated researchers for years. This study focused on the homing ability of the oriental...

Age-related variation of homing range in honeybee males (Apis mellifera)
Homing toward specific places is critical for the survival and reproduction of motile animals and can influence the spatial range of animal behavior....

Ecological and behavioral correlates of homing performance in the egg-feeding poison frog Oophaga histrionica
Homing is the ability to return to previously visited sites, often to the home range. Most studies have focused on the mechanisms used to home, but...

Enhancing mesenchymal stem cell survival and homing capability to improve cell engraftment efficacy for liver diseases
Although mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation provides an alternative strategy for end-stage liver disease (ESLD), further widespread...

Homing and Nest Recognition in Nocturnal Blue Petrels: What Scent May Attract Birds to their Burrows?
Hypogean petrels return to the same nest burrow to breed on remote islands during the summer months. Their nocturnal behavior at the colony, strong...

A Computational Predictor for Accurate Identification of Tumor Homing Peptides by Integrating Sequential and Deep BiLSTM Features
Cancer remains a severe illness, and current research indicates that tumor homing peptides (THPs) play an important part in cancer therapy. The...

Transgene removal using an in cis programmed homing endonuclease via single-strand annealing in the mosquito Aedes aegypti
While gene drive strategies have been proposed to aid in the control of mosquito-borne diseases, additional genome engineering technologies may be...

Sex difference in homing: males but not females return home despite offspring mortality in Ikakogi tayrona, a glassfrog with prolonged maternal care
AbstractParental care directly affects the fitness of individuals because it increases the probability of offspring survival. Therefore, it is...

Novel Evidence That Alternative Pathway of Complement Cascade Activation is Required for Optimal Homing and Engraftment of Hematopoietic Stem/progenitor Cells
We reported in the past that activation of the third (C3) and fifth element (C5) of complement cascade (ComC) is required for a proper homing and...

Important role of the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis in the homing of systemically transplanted human amnion-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hAD-MSCs) to ovaries in rats with chemotherapy-induced premature ovarian insufficiency (POI)
BackgroundChemotherapy can induce premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). POI causes multiple sequelae and is currently incurable. As shown in our...

High rates of consecutive spawning and precise homing in Sakhalin taimen (Parahucho perryi)
The frequency of reproduction and homing success are crucial in determining the lifetime reproductive fitness of iteroparous salmonids. We examined...

Homeward bound: canopy cover and species identity influence non-breeding season homing success and speed in forest birds
BackgroundEfficient and safe movement is fundamental for wild birds to thrive in their environments. For arboreal forest animals, especially birds,...

There and Back Again: Homing in Bats Revisited
At the 1971 meeting North American Society for Bat Research (NASBR) in Albuquerque, Don Wilson and James S. Findley presented “Randomness in Bat...

Landscape Learning during Flight Ensures Homing in Honey Bee (Apis mellifera) Drones
The role of learning to navigate toward a specific location has been extensively studied in the foraging context of social hymenopteran females,...

CD44 fucosylation on bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells enhances homing and promotes enteric nervous system remodeling in diabetic mice
BackgroundDiabetes can cause extensive enteric nervous system (ENS) injuries and gastrointestinal motility disorder. In develo** possible...

Synthesis and evaluation of tumor-homing peptides for targeting prostate cancer
High toxicity caused by chemotherapeutic drugs and the acquisition of drug resistance by cancer cells are the major drawbacks in cancer therapy. A...

Genomically mined acoustic reporter genes for real-time in vivo monitoring of tumors and tumor-homing bacteria
Ultrasound allows imaging at a much greater depth than optical methods, but existing genetically encoded acoustic reporters for in vivo cellular...
