Beyond undulation! Body morphology and sensing components of elongated animals and robots reveal skills to maintain competent locomotion

Locomotion is an essential evolutive innovation of living beings that allows them to colonize and dominate the planet. As diverse as animal morphologies are (living) and were (extinct), their locomotion modalities are also diverse. In particular, animal mo ...

A generalised framework for detailed classification of swimming paths inside the Morris Water Maze

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Eleni Vasilaki

The Morris Water Maze is commonly used in behavioural neuroscience for the study of spatial learning with rodents. Over the years, various methods of analysing rodent data collected during this task have been proposed. These methods span from classical per ...

Signatures of selection and environmental adaptation across the goat genome post-domestication

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat

Background: Since goat was domesticated 10,000 years ago, many factors have contributed to the differentiation of goat breeds and these are classified mainly into two types: (i) adaptation to different breeding systems and/or purposes and (ii) adaptation t ...

Time-Continuous Phosphorus Flows in the Indian Agri-Food Sector: Long-Term Drivers and Management Options

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

Phosphorus (P) is a major agricultural nutrient and, in its mineable form, a potentially scarce resource. Countries with limited physical access to P should hence develop an effective national P governance. This requires analyses of trends and variations i ...

Detecting animals in African Savanna with UAVs and the crowds

Stéphane Joost, Devis Tuia

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer new opportunities for wildlife monitoring, with several advantages over traditional field-based methods. They have readily been used to count birds, marine mammals and large herbivores in different environments, tasks ...

An Intact Small Animal Model of Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion: Characterization of Metabolic Changes by Hyperpolarized 13C MR Spectroscopy

Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara

Hyperpolarized carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((13)C MRS) enables the sensitive and noninvasive assessment of the metabolic changes occurring during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. Ischemia-reperfusion models using hyperpolarized (13)C MRS are ...

Social Adaptation of Robots for Modulating Self-Organization in Animal Societies

Francesco Mondada, Frank Bonnet, Robert Matthew Mills, Marcelo Elias de Oliveira

The goal of the work presented here is to influence the overall behaviour of specific animal societies by integrating computational mechatronic devices (robots) into those societies. To do so, these devices should be accepted by the animals as part of the ...

High Time-Resolved Cardiac Functional Imaging Using Temporal Regularization for Small Animal on a Clinical 3T Scanner

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Jean-Noël Hyacinthe

Accurate assessment of mice cardiac function with magnetic resonance imaging is essential for longitudinal studies and for drug development related to cardiovascular diseases. Whereas dedicated small animal MR scanners are not readily available, it would b ...

Role of Jagged1 in Arterial Lesions After Vascular Injury

Freddy Radtke, Qi Zhou, Hui Gong

Objective-Impaired regeneration of endothelial cells (EC) and overactivity of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) are hallmarks of the arterial lesions associated with aging. The occurrence of 2 opposing cellular processes in the same arterial milieu makes ...
