Constant power threshold—predicting maximal lactate steady state in recreational cyclists
IntroductionProlonged time trials proved capable of precisely estimating anaerobic threshold. However, time trial studies in recreational cyclists...

Relative divergence of mobbing calls and songs structures in passerine birds
Divergence and convergence in acoustic signals may be driven by different processes. Uncertainty about which of these processes best explains the...

A quantitative model reveals a frequency ordering of prediction and prediction-error signals in the human brain
The human brain is proposed to harbor a hierarchical predictive coding neuronal network underlying perception, cognition, and action. In support of...

Relative importance of altitude shifts with plant and microbial diversity to soil multifunctionality in grasslands of north-western China
Background and aimsAbove- and belowground biodiversity determines the capacity of ecosystems to provide multiple functions simultaneously (i.e.,...

The relative influence of environmental cues on reproductive allocation of a highly iteroparous coral reef fish
Pelagic eggs and larvae of many coral reef fishes will encounter a dynamic and risky environment as they disperse between the reef and offshore...

The effects of long-term exposure to microgravity and body orientation relative to gravity on perceived traveled distance
Self-motion perception is a multi-sensory process that involves visual, vestibular, and other cues. When perception of self-motion is induced using...

Distance estimation of howling golden jackals (Canis aureus) using relative sound level
Golden jackals ( Canis aureus ) display a complex repertoire of calls, utilized in different communication types (e.g., marking territories, attraction...

Access to females and early life castration individually extend maximal but not median lifespan in male mice
Investment in reproduction is predicted to accelerate ageing, but the link between reproductive investment and lifespan can be sex- and...

Loss of Gap Junction Delta-2 (GJD2) gene orthologs leads to refractive error in zebrafish
Myopia is the most common developmental disorder of juvenile eyes, and it has become an increasing cause of severe visual impairment. The GJD2 locus...

Picea pungens exhibits greatest tolerance to short-time thermal stress compared to Picea abies, and Picea omorika
Species in the genus Picea are well-suited for afforestation on high altitudes and latitudes, but are fairly intolerant to high temperatures. In this...

Assessing the impact of measurement errors in the calculation of CWSI for characterizing the water status of several crop species
Canopy temperature is generally accepted as an indirect but rapid, accurate, and large-scale indicator of crop water status and is, therefore,...

Changes in real-world walking speed following 60-day bed-rest
The aim of this work was to explore whether real-world walking speed (RWS) would change as a consequence of 60-day bed-rest. The main hypothesis was...
