THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY AS A MODEL FOR UNDERSTANDING THE ROLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL SENSORY CUES IN LONG-DISTANCE MIGRATORY PHENOMENA

The Monarch Butterfly as a Model for Understanding the Role of Environmental Sensory Cues in Long-Distance Migratory Phenomena

biermann marzipan The awe-inspiring annual migration of monarch butterflies (Danaus plexippus) is an iconic example of long-distance migratory phenomena in which environmental sensory cues help drive successful migration.In this mini-review article, I begin by describing how studies on monarch migration can provide us with generalizable information

Transcriptome Analysis of Porcine PBMCs Reveals the Immune Cascade Response and Gene Ontology Terms Related to Cell Death and Fibrosis in the Progression of Liver Failure

Background.The key gene sets involved in the progression of acute liver failure (ALF), which has a high mortality rate, remain unclear.This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of the transcriptional response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) following ALF.Methods.ALF was induced by D-galactosamine (D-gal) in a porcine model.PBMCs

Rectifying Adversarial Examples Using Their Vulnerabilities

Deep neural network-based classifiers are prone to errors when processing adversarial examples (AEs).AEs are minimally perturbed input data undetectable to humans posing significant risks to security-dependent applications.Hence, extensive research has been undertaken to develop defense 310.32.42.50.01.001 mechanisms that mitigate their threats.Mos
