Social interactions predict genetic diversification: an experimental manipulation in shorebirds
... Recent genetic analyses of closely related shorebirds, the Kittlitz’s plover Charadrius pecuarius and the white-fronted plover Charadrius marginatus, showed that they exhibit diferent population genetic structure ...

Scarcity of ecosystem services: an experimental manipulation of declining pollination rates and its economic consequences for agriculture
... Pollination services are one of the key ES associated with agro-ecosystems, as one-third of crop species worldwide require animal pollinators (Prescott-Allen & Prescott-Allen, 1990; Roubik, 1995; Klein et al., 2007; ...

An investigation of propranolol as an agent for the experimental manipulation of interoception.
... interoceptive accuracy is not necessarily clear-cut. Although it is reasonable to suppose that decreasing sensitivity would lead to more interoceptive errors, it has been shown that interoceptive awareness only partially ...

Experimental manipulation of infant temperament affects amygdala functional connectivity
... Interestingly, we found increased amygdala connectivity during the perception of infants with a happy temperament. This is consistent with the suggestion that amygdala connec- tivity is involved in encoding the rewarding ...

A marker of biological age explains individual variation in the strength of the adult stress response
... the experimental manipulations on adult CORT variables may appear perplexing given that our previous data showed that the manipulations caused changes in developmental telomere attrition in both cohorts [22,23], ...

Experimental infection dynamics: using immunosuppression and in vivo parasite tracking to understand host resistance in an amphibian–trematode system
... an experimental manipulation of host immune function (via chronic corticosterone exposure) to assess the role of host immunity in regulating susceptibility of amphibian hosts to three larval trematodes: ...

Changes in motor network expression related to moulting behaviour in lobster: role of moult induced deep hypoxia
... By using electromyographic (EMG) recording techniques that do not hinder the lobster’s normal behaviour (Clemens et al., 1998a), the aim of the present study was to monitor the motor output of the pyloric network prior ...

Spinal manipulation in the treatment of patients with MRI-confirmed lumbar disc herniation and sacroiliac joint hypomobility: a quasi-experimental study
... The neutral position of the spine was used for side- posture lumbar manipulation. The patient lay on the asymptomatic side (e.g. left) in the lateral recumbent position, with his or her upper foot in the popliteal ...
