Behavioural Indicators of Intra- and Inter-Specific Competition: Sheep Co-Grazing with Guanaco in the Patagonian Steppe

In extensive livestock production, high densities may inhibit regulation processes, maintaining high levels of intraspecific competition over time.During competition, individuals typically modify their behaviours, particularly feeding and bite rates, which can therefore be used as indicators of competition.Over eight consecutive seasons, we investi

MAp34 Regulates the Non-specific Cell Immunity of Monocytes/Macrophages and Inhibits the Lectin Pathway of Complement Activation in a Teleost Fish

Scrapers The lectin pathway of the complement system is one of the main components of innate immunity, which plays a pivotal role in the defense against infectious microorganisms and maintains immune homeostasis.However, its control mechanisms remain unclear in teleost fish.In this study, we described the identification and functional characterizat

Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry-Based Measurements of Collision Cross Section Values for Metabolites and Related Databases

Metabolomics aims to systematically profile various small molecules (i.e., metabolites and lipids) in biological samples.Compared with genomics, transcriptomics and proteomics, metabolomics locates in the downstream of omics technologies, which links genotype with phenotype.Metabolomics is an important part of system biology.It has been widely appl
