Mutanlallemand (mtl) and Belly Spot and Deafness (bsd) are two new mutations of Lmx1a causing severe cochlear and vestibular defects. by Georg Steffes, Beatriz Lorente-Cánovas, Selina Pearson, Rachael H Brooker, Sarah Spiden, Amy E Kiernan, Jean-Louis Guénet, Karen P Steel

“…Homozygous mutants show head tossing and circling behaviour, indicative of vestibular defects, and they have short tails and white belly patches of variable size. The analysis of auditory brainstem responses (ABR) showed that mtl and bsd homozygotes are deaf, whereas heterozygous and wildtype littermates have normal hearing. …”

Impact of forest fragmentation on river water quality: an example from a typical subtropical hilly basin by Biao Li, Xiaolei Huang, Qiang Zhong, Xiuxiu Wu

“…This is implied that when the adjacency of forest patches is less than 28.1% and the connectivity of forest patches is more than 7.89e+0.5ha, it may contribute to the reduction of TN concentration in rivers. …”

Accommodative Lag Persistence in Treated Anisometropic, Strabismic, and Mixed Amblyopia by Jit B. Ale Magar, Shaheen P. Shah

“…Monocular lag was significantly correlated to BCVA (r = 0.46; p=0.001) and refraction (r = 0.42; p=0.001) but not to patching duration (r = 0.1; p=0.280). Conclusion. Inadequate accommodative response, a higher lag, persists in amblyopic eyes even after the treatment. …”

Characterization of new otic enhancers of the pou3f4 gene reveal distinct signaling pathway regulation and spatio-temporal patterns. by Àlex Robert-Moreno, Silvia Naranjo, Elisa de la Calle-Mustienes, José Luis Gómez-Skarmeta, Berta Alsina

“…We show that the most distal enhancer (HCNR 81675) is activated earlier and drives GFP reporter expression initially to a broad ear domain to progressively restrict to the sensory patches. The proximal enhancer (HCNR 82478) is switched later during development and promotes expression, among in other tissues, in sensory patches from its onset. …”

Good Fences Make Good Neighbors: Adjacent Honey Bee Colonies Locally Partition Their Foraging Across Landscapes by Bradley D. Ohlinger, Margaret J. Couvillon, Laurence W. Carstensen, Roger Schürch

“…In this study, we analyzed 8049 dances from colocalized colonies across three landscapes to investigate whether neighboring colonies forage by not partitioning patches (i.e., converging their food collection on the same patches), by partitioning at the landscape level, or by partitioning at the local level. …”
