Article Abstract

The emergence, spread and potential zoonotic importance of pathogenic-resistant bacteria (e.g., ) has fuelled the research on epidemiology and vector movement dynamics. However, little is known about the effects that apparently asymptomatic carriage may have on host behaviour. Here, we analysed and compared movement patterns and habitat use (focused on the different risk of exposure to Antibiotic Resistance) of yellow-legged gulls () carrying ( = 10) and not carrying ( = 29) Antibiotic-resistant Using data from GPS devices coupled with accelerometers, we found evidence that individuals carrying resistant , although previously considered asymptomatic, had lower accumulated travelled distances and moved over smaller areas. Antibiotic resistance carriage may affect movement patterns to some extent, as in this case, potentially reducing pathogen dispersal over large areas.

Effect of knee joint position on soleus muscle function during isokinetic plantarflexion.

Physiol Int

September 2025

2Faculty of Sports Science, Ningbo University, No. 818 Fenghua Road, Jiangbei District, 315211, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, PR China.

Purpose: Contribution of the gastrocnemii muscles to ankle moment is influenced by the knee joint position because they span the knee and the ankle joint as well. However, limited information is available on the effect of knee joint position on soleus activation under dynamic plantarflexion, hence the aim of this study was to investigate if soleus have a compensatory strategy in fascicle behavior or EMG activity during knee flexed plantarflexion in order to reduce the magnitude of the decrement in ankle moment.

Equipment And Methods: Isokinetic dynamometry with EMG and ultrasound measurements was used to estimate medial gastrocnemius and soleus behavior during knee flexed and extended plantarflexions using three angular velocities.

Although many animal species are known to learn to respond to human verbal commands, this ability is understudied, as are the cues used to do so. For the best-studied species, the dog, domestication itself is used to justify successful attending to human communicative cues. However, the role of domestication in sensitivity to human cues remains debated.

Eye tracking has the potential to be used as a meaningful measure of the consequences of vision impairment (VI), yet a comprehensive test battery is lacking. In this study, we sought to evaluate the feasibility and validity of a test battery of eye movements as a tool to measure visual performance in individuals with VI. A test battery including fixation stability, smooth pursuit, saccades, free viewing, and visual search was administered to 46 athletes with VI and 10 control participants.

Constipation is a common gastrointestinal disorder characterized by infrequent and difficult bowel movements, hard stool consistency, and delayed intestinal transit. The present study evaluated the phytochemical profile and physiological effects of the aqueous extract of beetroot leaves (AEBL) in a rat model of Loperamide (LOP)-induced constipation. Thirty-six male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to six groups (n = 6): two controls (normal and constipated) and four constipated groups receiving either increasing doses of AEBL (100, 200, or 400 mg/kg, b.

Animal migration remains poorly understood for many organisms, impeding understanding of movement dynamics and limiting conservation actions. We develop a framework that scales from movements of individuals to the dynamics of continental migration using data synthesis of endogenous markers, which we apply to three North American bat species with unexplained high rates of fatalities at wind energy facilities. The two species experiencing the highest fatality rates exhibit a "pell-mell" migration strategy in which individuals move from summer habitats in multiple directions, both to higher and lower latitudes, during autumn.
