Ecology of predator-prey interactions in the context of mate searching
Animals communicating in the context of mate searching benefit by increasing their likelihood of encountering mates. Mate searching begins the important process of individuals of opposite sexes forming pairs, which is ... -
Embryonic Expression of Cytokines: Functional Role of Il-1β During Blastocyst Hatching
The detailed investigation on the embryo-endometrial cytokine expression, in both mouse and hamster, was carried out during the peri-hatching development and it is described in chapter 2. We hypothesize that, for a ... -
Functional Characterization of a SAND–Domain–containing Factor OsULTRAPETALA1 – a Direct Downstream Target of OsMADS1
Studies on meristem identity regulators in Rice (Oryza sativa), a model plant for cereal crops have revealed how meristem identity and transitions are controlled, bearing implications for crop yield improvement. We were ... -
Investigating the role and regulation of Polypyrimidine tract binding protein (PTB) in isoform switching during muscle development in Drosophila melanogaster
Muscles are an excellent system to dissect the development, physiology and evolution of cell heterogeneity and isoform switching. The vertebrate skeletal muscles are composed of heterogeneous muscle fibres. These fibres ... -
On Trait Evolution in a Heterogeneous Environment: Oviposition Site Selection in a Mosquito in Response to Multiple Risk Factors
A focus in evolutionary biology is to understand the drivers of diversity in animal behavioural traits in the living world. Animals facing similar problems in the environment, such as the problem of how much to invest in ...
