KARYOTYPIC DIVERSITY IN FOUR SPECIES OF THE GENUS GYMNOTUS LINNAEUS, 1758 (TELEOSTEI, GYMNOTIFORMES, GYMNOTIDAE): PHYSICAL MAPPING OF RIBOSOMAL GENES AND TELOMERIC SEQUENCES

Karyotypic diversity in four species of the genus Gymnotus Linnaeus, 1758 (Teleostei, Gymnotiformes, Gymnotidae): physical mapping of ribosomal genes and telomeric sequences

Conventional (Giemsa, C-Banding, Ag-NORs, CMA3) and molecular (5S rDNA, 18S rDNA, telomeric sequences) Pants cytogenetic studies were carried out in specimens of ten distinct fish populations of the genus Gymnotus (G.sylvius Albert and Fernandes-Matioli, 1999, G.inaequilabiatus Valenciennes, 1839, G.pantherinus Steindachner, 1908, and G.cf.carapo L

Muscle forces and the demands of human walking

Reconstructing the locomotor behavior of extinct animals depends on elucidating the principles that link behavior, function, and morphology, which can only be done using extant animals.Within the human lineage, the evolution of bipedalism represents a critical transition, and evaluating fossil hominins depends on understanding the relationship betw

The Pressure Resistance of Odor Traps for Sanitary Appliances and their Impact on the Hygiene of an Indoor Environment

The biggest problem with sanitary technology in high-rise buildings is the design of foul water stacks in which high negative pressure and overpressure values must not occur.When pressure exceeds maximum values, water from the trap is ejected, sucked out, or left bubbling in the trap.Measurements by other researchers have shown that when traps lose
