QUANTITATIVE GENETIC VARIATION OF METABOLISM IN THE NYMPHS OF THE SAND CRICKET, GRYLLUS FIRMUS, INFERRED FROM AN ANALYSIS OF INBRED-LINES

Quantitative genetic variation of metabolism in the nymphs of the sand cricket, Gryllus firmus, inferred from an analysis of inbred-lines

Compared with morphological and life history traits, quantitative genetic variation of metabolic and related traits in animals Puzzles has been poorly studied.We used flow-through VC0(2) respirometry and simultaneous activity measurement on nymphs of the sand cricket {Gryllus firmus) from inbred lines to estimate broad-sense heritability of four me

Mind the gap: A review and recommendations for statistically evaluating Dual Systems models of adolescent risk behavior

According to Dual Systems models (Casey et al., 2008; Luna and Wright, 2016; Steinberg, 2008), a rapidly-developing socioemotional system and gradually-developing cognitive control system characterize adolescent brain development.The imbalance hypothesis forwarded by Dual Systems models posits that the magnitude of the imbalance between these two d
