The aim of the study was to determine the degree of overlap in the feeding niches of early developmental stages of roach, Rutilus rutilus (L.), perch, Perca fluviatilis L., bleak, Alburnus alburnus (L.) and sunbleak, Leucaspius delineatus (Heckel).The hypotheses were that (i) larvae of different fish species of similar body sizes feed on similar fo
The modes of Agrippa: On the refutation of the ground of all knowledge
The modes expounded by the ancient sceptics became a point of reference for those who try to prove, reach any truth or justify any belief.Due to it, this paper analyses the objections of the sceptic philosophers later to Aenesidemus and previous Previews Exclusive to Sextus Empiricus.Such objections are generally attributed to Agrippa SUPER FIRM an
Tempo rubato : animacy speeds up time in the brain.
BackgroundHow do we estimate time when watching an action? The idea that events are timed by a centralized clock has recently been called into question in favour of distributed, specialized mechanisms.Here we provide evidence for a critical specialization: animate and inanimate events are separately timed by humans.Methodology/principal findingsIn
Predator-prey interactions between shell-boring beetle larvae and rock-dwelling land snails.
Drilus beetle larvae (Coleoptera: Elateridae) are specialized predators of land snails.Here, we describe various aspects of the predator-prey interactions between multiple Drilus species attacking multiple Albinaria (Gastropoda: Clausiliidae) species in Greece.We observe that Drilus species may be facultative or obligate Albinaria-specialists.We ma
Reversible right bundle branch block caused by spasm of the anterior septal branch: case report
Abstract Background Coronary Artery Spasm (CAS) often presents in the epicardial coronary arteries.The anterior septal branch is distributed within the myocardium, and occurrences of spasms are rare.Currently, there is no available literature on this topic, and the onset of symptoms remains elusive, potentially leading to misdiagnosis.Case presenta
