Follow the dummy: measuring the influence of a biomimetic robotic fish-lure on the collective decisions of a zebrafish shoal inside a circular corridor

Robotic agents that are accepted by animals as conspecifics are very powerful tools in behavioral biology because of the ways they help in studying social interactions in gregarious animals. In recent years, we have developed a biomimetic robotic fish lure ...

Development of an integrated model for the design of fish-passes for small and medium head differences

Problematic: Which type of fish passes (FPs) are appropriate for small hydropower plants (HPPS) in Greece, based on their local characteristics (and thus, using the experience of the German experience)? Elaborate a decision making tool. Investigate dimensi ...

Per- and poly-fluoroalkyl compounds in freshwater fish from the Rhone River: Influence of fish size, diet, prey contamination and biotransformation

Pools of aquatic plants and benthic invertebrates were collected along with 47 individuals from three cyprinid fish species (Barbus barbus, Gobio gobio, Rutilus rutilus) at a site in the Rhone River (France). Carbon and nitrogen isotopic ratios (delta C-13 ...

Sex differentiation in grayling (Salmonidae) goes through an all-male stage and is delayed in genetic males who instead grow faster

Oliver Michele Selmoni

Fish populations can be threatened by distorted sex ratios that arise during sex differentiation. Here we describe sex differentiation in a wild grayling (Thymallus thymallus) population that suffers from distorted sex ratios. We verified that sex determin ...

Design of a modular robotic system that mimics small fish locomotion and body movements for ethological studies

Francesco Mondada, Alexey Gribovskiy, Frank Bonnet, Bertrand Eric Collignon

Robotic animals are nowadays developed for various types of research, such as bioinspired robotics, biomimetics, and animal behavioral studies. The design of these robots poses great challenges as they often have to achieve very high-level performances in ...

Integrated field, laboratory, and theoretical study of PKD spread in a Swiss prealpine river

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Luca Carraro, Marino Gatto

Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) is a major threat to wild and farmed salmonid populations because of its lethal effect at high water temperatures. Its causative agent, the myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, has a complex lifecycle exploiting freshw ...

An epidemiological model for proliferative kidney disease in salmonid populations

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Luca Carraro, Marino Gatto

Background: Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) affects salmonid populations in European and North-American rivers. It is caused by the endoparasitic myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, which exploits freshwater bryozoans and salmonids as hosts. Inciden ...

Collision-Free Pattern Formation

Rachid Guerraoui, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer

Shoals of small fishes can change their collective shape and form a specific pattern. They do so efficiently (in parallel) and without collision. In this paper, we study the analog problem of distributed pattern formation. A set of processes needs to move ...

FLUORESCENCE IN SITU HYBRIDIZATION (FISH) ENHANCEMENT USING MICROFLUIDIC FLOW FOR AN ACCURATE, FAST AND ECONOMICAL ASSESSMENT OF HER2 STATUS IN BREAST CANCER

Martinus Gijs, Raphaël Etienne Jean Trouillon, Maryse Fiche, Huu Tuan Nguyen, Seiya Matsuoka

The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is the gold standard in human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) status assessment in breast cancer. The dissemination of the technique is impeded by the cost of reagents and long experimental time. For ...

On the Design of Economic NMPC Based on an Exact Turnpike Property

Dominique Bonvin, Timm Faulwasser

We discuss the design of sampled-data economic nonlinear model predictive control schemes for continuous-time systems. We present novel sufficient convergence conditions that do not require any kind of terminal constraints nor terminal penalties. Instead, ...
