Drosophila Food-Associated Pheromones: Effect of Experience, Genotype and Antibiotics on Larval Behavior

2016

International audience; Animals ubiquitously use chemical signals to communicate many aspects of their social life. These chemical signals often consist of environmental cues mixed with species-specific signals-pheromones-emitted by conspecifics. During their life, insects can use pheromones to aggregate, disperse, choose a mate, or find the most suitable food source on which to lay eggs. Before pupariation, larvae of several Drosophila species migrate to food sources depending on their composition and the presence of pheromones. Some pheromones derive from microbiota gut activity and these food-associated cues can enhance larval attraction or repulsion. To explore the mechanisms underlying…

Body coloration and mechanisms of colour production in Archelosauria: the case of deirocheline turtles

2019

Animal body coloration is a complex trait resulting from the interplay of multiple mechanisms. While many studies address the functions of animal coloration, the mechanisms of colour production still remain unknown in most taxa. Here we compare reflectance spectra, cellular, ultra- and nano-structure of colour-producing elements, and pigment types in two freshwater turtles with contrasting courtship behaviour,Trachemys scriptaandPseudemys concinna. The two species differ in the distribution of pigment cell-types and in pigment diversity. We found xanthophores, melanocytes, abundant iridophores and dermal collagen fibres in stripes of both species. The yellow chin and forelimb stripes of bot…

Consumers, who acquired real estate through a deed of sale with a mortgage subrogation, have made numerous claims against the financial entities.

Courts decisions have been diverse.

Consideraciones sobre la cláusula irph a la luz de sus antecedentes y de la doctrina consolidada del tribunal de justicia de la union europea

2021

By issuing its judgment of March 3, 2020, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) has terminated the last episode in the evolution of the IRPH index to which almost a tenth of mortgages have been referring. in Spain, compared to the rest that the Euribor takes as a reference, declaring in essence that consumers will be able to go to court to declare the abusiveness of the clause that the aforementioned index contains in the deeds of constitution of the mortgage. To understand the scope of the current situation, it is convenient to consider even briefly what the IRPH consists of and the consequences that its application has entailed for the affected consumer borrowers, taking into …

Jurisdiction by connection and proper administration of justice under eu regulations 1103/2016 and 1104/2016

2021

The author analyses the rules of jurisdiction by connection set by Articles 4 and 5 of Regulations No. 1103 and 1104 of 2016 in matters of property regimes of transnational couples, taking into account the objective of proper administration of justice pursued within EU Civil judicial cooperation. The Twin Regulations provide for appropriate procedural tools to facilitate concentration of jurisdiction before the courts of the same Member State, establishing an important role for the choice-of-court agreement, especially where property regime issues arise in connection with a matrimonial case or a partnership dissolution case. As we wait for the implementation of these rules by national and E…

Zasada praworządności wyznacznikiem kontroli działań administracji publicznej realizowanej przez prokuratora w ramach postępowania administracyjnego

2018

Opus iustitiae PAX – the properly shaped dimension of justice is a guarantee of peaceful – not based on a conflict and violence – relations between citizens and the state. These words fully reflect the leading thought of this study. It is the concern for a good law and a state governed by the rule of law, which lies at the foundation of actions taken within the scope of legal means by the Prosecutor’s Office that – as the “custodian of law” – is entitled to in the sphere of control over administration. Administrative courts execute justice as a separate part of judicial power. Justice and law are conditions for an effective state, good governance and social peace, which have accompanied us …

Men with elevated testosterone levels show more affiliative behaviors during contact with women

2012

Testosterone (T) is thought to play a key role in male–male competition and courtship in many vertebrates, but its precise effects are unclear. We explored whether courtship behaviour in humans is modulated and preceded by changes in T. Pairs of healthy male students first competed in a non-physical contest in which their T levels became elevated. Each participant then had a short, informal interaction with either an unfamiliar man or woman. The sex of the stimulus person did not affect the participants' behaviour overall. However, in interactions with women, those men who had experienced a greater T increase during the contest subsequently showed more interest in the woman, engaged in more…

Assessment of the Relationship Between the Use of Birth Control Pill and the Characteristics of Mate Selection

2014

Abstract Introduction In recent research, scientists have begun to suspect that birth control pill use could interfere with key mechanisms that play a role when women choose a sexual partner. Many studies have shown that women, particularly during the most fertile days of their menstrual cycle, look for specific physical, psychological, and behavioral characteristics indicative of genetic quality in a short‐term partner. Aims Analysis of the psychometric properties of the Partner's Masculinity Index (PMI) scale. The scale was built to assess the degree of masculinity in hypothetical short‐term partners. Methods A total of 395 female Italian volunteers from Central Italy (M = 32.9 years old,…
