SCATTER HOARDING OF SEEDS CONFERS SURVIVAL ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES TO LARGE-SEEDED TROPICAL PLANTS AT DIFFERENT LIFE STAGES.

Scatter hoarding of seeds confers survival advantages and disadvantages to large-seeded tropical plants at different life stages.

Scatter hoarding of seeds by animals contributes significantly to forest-level processes, including plant recruitment and forest community composition.However, the potential positive and negative effects of caching on seed survival, germination success, and seedling survival have rarely been assessed through experimental studies.Here, I tested the

Brain region-specific expression of genes mapped within quantitative trait loci for behavioral responsiveness to acute stress in Fisher 344 and Wistar Kyoto male rats.

Acute stress responsiveness is a quantitative trait that varies in severity from one individual to another; however, the genetic component underlying the individual variation is largely unknown.Fischer 344 (F344) Framed Soccer Photos and Wistar Kyoto (WKY) rat strains show large differences in behavioral responsiveness to acute stress, such as free
