Critical Thinking Identifies Misconceptions and False Trails
Many misconceptions that have compromised recognition of disease are exposed. The term porosityPorosities has been applied to so many externally...

Cranial Phenomena
Frontal-parietal pores, 75% of which have been interpreted as porotic hyperostosis, appear actually to represent trans-cortical circulation and are...

Perceptually salient differences in a species recognition cue do not promote auditory streaming in eastern grey treefrogs (Hyla versicolor)
Auditory streaming underlies a receiver’s ability to organize complex mixtures of auditory input into distinct perceptual “streams” that represent...

Alternative hosts can affect the development, reproduction, and demographic parameters of Chrysodeixis includens
Characteristics of preferred or alternative host plants can impact the population dynamics of polyphagous insects. Chrysodeixis includens has become...

Exploring the antifungal potential of essential oils against grey mould on tomatoes
Grey mould, caused by the devastating pathogen Botrytis cinerea , poses a significant threat to tomato plants in both field and greenhouse conditions...

The rate of cochlear compression in a dolphin: a forward-masking evoked-potential study
The “active” cochlear mechanism of hearing manifests in the cochlear compression. Investigations of compression in odontocetes help to determine the...

Reconsidering the goals of evolution education: defining evolution and evolutionary literacy
In this paper, I argue that for both theoretical and practical purposes, it is useful for science education to clearly distinguish between science...

Level-dependent masking of the auditory evoked responses in a dolphin: manifestation of the compressive nonlinearity
At suprathreshold sound levels, interactions between masking noise and sound signals are liable to compressive nonlinearity in the auditory system....

Management and breeding for rust resistance in legumes
Rust diseases are a major concern in legume production worldwide causing heavy losses especially in develo** countries that depend on grain legumes...

Are frog calls relatively difficult to locate by mammalian predators?
Frogs call in acoustically dense choruses to attract conspecific females. Their calls can potentially reveal their location to predators, many of...

Is consonance attractive to budgerigars? No evidence from a place preference study
Consonant tone combinations occur naturally in the overtone series of harmonic sounds. These include sounds that many non-human animals produce to...
