Song post exposure, song features, and predation risk
No full textMale birds use song to attract mates and deter other males, but in doing so, they also attract the attention of predators and parasites. Such viability costs are inherent in reliable signals, potentially causing females to prefer mates that display from the most exposed sites. However, viability costs of sexual signals may be ameliorated by affecting the choice of microhabitat, which in turn may affect the design of song features that are most efficiently transmitted in this microhabitat. We estimated the exposure of song posts (microsites used by males when singing) used by passerine birds in relation to prey selection by the sparrowhawk Accipiter nisus, by calculating the proportion of males that sang from song posts that were at the maximum level of the vegetation, in an attempt to quantify the costs of sexual selection. We quantified prey susceptibility to predation as the difference between the log-transformed observed number of prey minus the log-transformed expected number of prey in the environment. This prey susceptibility index increased with increasing song post exposure similarly in sexually dichromatic and monochromatic species, although the prey susceptibility index was related to sexual dichromatism. Song post exposure was dependent on habitat, but comparative models controlling for the potentially confounding effects of habitat, sexual dichromatism, hole nesting, coloniality, body mass, cognitive capacities, and flying abilities indicated that the relationship between the prey susceptibility index and song post exposure is strong. Path analyses of the relationship between song post exposure, sexual dichromatism, and prey susceptibility index revealed that selection acting on sexual dichromatism and song post exposure has secondary impact on prey susceptibility index. The opposite causal mechanisms by which predation affects sexual traits are less likely. These models suggest that female preference for high song posts or dichromatic plumage increases predation risk on an evolutionary time scale.

Os dois aspectos do Coração XIN : Interpretações sobre o livro de medicina chinesa HUANG DI NEI JING SU WEN LING SHU.
No full textTCC (graduação) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Filosofia e Ciências Humanas, História.O presente trabalho é uma pesquisa sobre o conceito de Coração XĪN 心 em um dos mais antigos e influentes livros de medicina chinesa atualmente, originalmente dividido em HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG SÙ WÈN 黃帝內經素問 e HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG LÍNG SHŪ 黃帝內經靈樞. Evidências sugerem que as bases do SÙ WÈN 素問 e do LÍNG SHŪ 靈 樞 são um conjunto de textos escritos durante o período dos Estados Combatentes (475-221 AEC), passando pela dinastia Qin (221-206 AEC) e pela dinastia Han (206 AEC-221 DEC), embora as versões mais antigas que chegaram até nós remontem a dinastia Song (970-1279) . No capítulo 8 do HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG SÙ WÈN 黃帝內經素問, o Coração XĪN 心 é apresentado como o Mestre e Soberano do corpo humano, aquele que tudo controla e governa, enquanto no capítulo 8 do HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG LÍNG SHŪ 黃帝內經靈樞, o Coração XĪN 心 é o Vazio do Coração XĪN XŪ 心虛, aquele que não deve a nada se apegar ou rejeitar, morada dos Espíritos SHÉN 神 e nossa ligação primordial com o Céu TIĀN 天. Corroborando a percepção desses dois aspectos, apresento textos clássicos não-médicos como LǍOZI 老子, ZHUĀNGZI 莊子, HUÁINÁNZǏ 淮南子e LǙSHÌ CHŪNQIŪ 呂氏春 秋. Por fim, pretendo mostrar como esse duplo aspecto, que a princípio pode parecer contraditório, está baseado na teoria YĪN YÁNG 陰陽, a realidade última como a união dinâmica dos opostos. Permeando todo o trabalho, pretendo analisar a cosmologia em que a Medicina Chinesa está enraizada, completamente diferente, em muitos aspectos, da cosmologia biomédica moderna e, assim, discuto a própria noção que temos atualmente no Ocidente em relação à saúde e à doença, ao ser humano e à natureza.This paper is a research about the concept of Heart XĪN 心 in one of the most ancient and influential Chinese medicine books that currently exist, originally divided in HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG SÙ WÈN 黃帝內經素問 and HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG LÍNG SHŪ 黃帝內經靈樞. Available evidence suggests that at the basis of SÙ WÈN 素問 and LÍNG SHŪ 靈 樞 is a layer of texts written during the end of the Warring States period (475-221), through Qin dynasty and beginning of Western Han dynasty, although the most ancient versions remained until nowadays are from Song dynasty (960-1279). In HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG SÙ WÈN 黃帝內 經素問 chapter 8, the Heart XĪN 心 is presented as Master and Sovereign of human body, who control and govern all things, while in HUÁNG DÌ NÈI JĪNG LÍNG SHŪ 黃帝內經靈樞 chapter 8, the Heart XĪN 心 is Heart‟s Emptiness XĪN XŪ 心虛, who should not cleave or reject anything, residence of Spirits SHÉN 神 and our primordial connection with Heaven TIĀN 天. In addiction about these two aspects, I present non-medical classical texts as LǍOZI 老子, ZHUĀNGZI 莊子, HUÁINÁNZǏ 淮南子, GUǍNZǏ 管子, XÚNZǏ 荀子, LǙSHÌ CHŪNQIŪ 呂氏春秋 e LǏ JÌ 禮記. Lastly, I pretend show how this double aspect, seems like a contradiction for us westerns, is based on YĪN YÁNG 陰陽 theory, the reality as a dynamic union of opposites. Throughout this work, I pretend to analyze the cosmology that Chinese medicine is rooted on, completely diffent, in several aspects, from modern biomedic cosmology, thereby I also discuss some differences notions between ancient Chinese medicine and we westerns about health and disease, human beign and nature
Sexually size dimorphic brains and song complexity in passerine birds
No full textNeural correlates of bird song involve the volume of particular song nuclei in the brain that govern song development, production, and perception. Intra- and interspecific variation in the volume of these song nuclei are associated with overall brain size, suggesting that the integration of complex songs into the brain requires general neural augmentation. In a comparative study of passerine birds based on generalized least square models, we tested this hypothesis by exploring the interspecific relationship between overall brain size and repertoire size. We found no significant association between song complexity of males and brain size adjusted for body size. However, species in which males produced complex songs tended to have sex differences in overall brain size. This pattern became stronger when we controlled statistically for female song complexity by using sex differences in song complexity. In species with large differences in song complexity, females evolved smaller brains than did males. Our results suggest no role for the evolution of extended neural space, as reflected by total brain size, owing to song complexity. However, factors associated with sexual selection mirrored by sex differences in song complexity were related to sexual dimorphism in overall brain size

Song sharing and repertoire change as indicators of social structure in the Noisy Scrub-bird
No full textThe Endangered Noisy Scrub-bird is a small passerine that is seldom seen but often heard in its range on the south coast of Western Australia. The difficulties in observing this cryptic bird mean that little is known about its social system. The loud, conspicuous territorial song of the male provides a convenient, non-intrusive means by which to study this species.
The aim of this project was to investigate the patterns of song sharing and repertoire change in the Noisy Scrub-bird to provide indications of the social structure. It was found that groups of up to ten territorial males shared the same set of about five song types. Song groups were discrete, with members of a song group sharing most, if not all, of their song types. Males from different song groups had no song types in common.
Repertoire change was rapid and, with the exception of one individual, was found in every territorial male studied in the Mt Gardner population. It occurred simultaneously in all members of a song group, with males making the same changes to their shared songs. The source of repertoire change was mainly modification of existing song types with occasional divergence of a single song type into two distinct song types, as well as some innovation providing new song types. The average life of a song type was approximately 6 months. Although some song types persisted for the entire 16 month sampling period, they were continually modified and a year later could no longer be recognised as the same type.
Translocation of eight male scrub-birds to the Porongurup National Park provided an opportunity to combine individuals that initially did not share any songs. This allowed the process of song group formation to be studied. Within a one to two month period these males altered their songs so that they shared with their new neighbours. There was some evidence that the songs of dominant males were copied. Observation of the population established on Bald Island by translocation confirmed that there were no appreciable long-term effects on the songs of translocated Noisy Scrub-birds. Song group size, repertoire size and levels of song sharing were very similar to those found in the Mt Gardner population.
The striking feature of Noisy Scrub-bird song groupings was their discreteness and cohesiveness even in the presence of continual repertoire change. It is suggested that each song group consists of a dominant male whose songs are more attractive to females and/or effective in territory defence. This dominant male is surrounded by subordinate males that copy his effective songs. Repertoire change can be explained by the dominant male continually making changes to his songs, with the other males copying these changes to retain their mimicked effectiveness. Each song group may in fact represent a dispersed lek. The scenario suggested to explain Noisy Scrub-bird song groupings bears striking similarities to the hotshot hypothesis to explain lek formation whereby males cluster around a successful male.
This study demonstrates the potential of using song to investigate aspects of the social system of a species which is otherwise very difficult to observe. Management of an Endangered species such as the Noisy Scrub-bird will always benefit from increased knowledge about their social system. For example, this study showed that taking males from different song groups for translocation probably has little impact on their success at the new site because of their ability to rapidly alter their songs to form new song groups. An additional benefit of regularly monitoring the songs of translocated males was that it allowed ongoing identification of individuals, even though their songs were continually changing

Sir Arthur Somervell: designs on the song cycle
No full textThe study in the following pages explores Sir Arthur Somervell's fascination with the song cycle. Its appeal drew together two of his favourite passions, that is, songwriting and storytelling. All the cycles are settings of nineteenth-century poets with narratives drawn from single works or contrived from a collection of poems. Although Somervell was looked upon as old-fashioned in his art, in the matter of the song cycle he is seen trying to keep abreast of the times by following trends that were being manifest by his contemporaries and sometimes being innovative from his own inspiration. The theme of experimentation is the line of enquiry that the thesis explores. The six song cycles fall into three groups (of two each) in that process, though not strictly chronologically. Maud, the first (1898), from Tennyson's epic drama of obsessive love and tragedy, is placed with A Shropshire Lad (1904), Housman's bittersweet chronicle of a young military recruit, although two subsequent cycles intervened, but in style both betray Schumannesque influence. The cycles of 1901 (Love in Springtime) and 1903 (Wind Flowers), the two least-known in his output of song cycles, show Somervell experimenting with anthology. The last two cycles, James Lee's Wife, 1907 and A Broken Arc, 1923, though separated by nearly two decades, fail together naturally, united by their lyric source, Robert Browning, and by their more expansive style
Integrated analysis of the Wnt responsive proteome in human cells reveals diverse and cell-type specific networks
No full textWnt signalling is a fundamentally important signalling pathway that regulates many aspects of metazoan development and is frequently dysregulated in cancer. Although many of the core components of the Wnt signalling pathway{,} such as [small beta]-catenin{,} have been extensively studied{,} the broad systems level responses of the mammalian cell to Wnt signalling are less well understood. In addition{,} the cell- or tissue-specific protein networks that modulate Wnt signalling in the diverse tissues or developmental stages in which it functions remain to be defined. To address these questions{,} we undertook a broad survey of the Wnt response in different human cell lines using both interaction and expression proteomics approaches. Our data reveal both similar and divergent responses of pathways and processes in the three cell-lines analysed as well as a marked attenuation of the response to exogenous Wnt treatment in cells harbouring a stabilizing (activating) mutation of [small beta]-catenin. We also identify cell-type specific components of the Wnt signalling network and find that by integrating expression and interaction proteomics data a more complete description of the Wnt interaction network can be achieved. Finally{,} our results attest to the power of LC-MS/MS to reveal novel cellular responses in even relatively well studied biological pathways such as Wnt signalling
