Density-dependence of nestling immune function and physiological condition in semi-precocial colonial bird: a cross-fostering experiment

Abstract Background Nesting in large aggregations provides several important advantages for colonially breeding birds.However, it also imposes certain costs, associated with facilitated pathogen transmission and social stress.The cost-benefit ratio is not similar for all the birds in a colony and it might be mediated by nest density.To investigate

On a deterministic mathematical model which efficiently predicts the protective effect of a plant extract mixture in cirrhotic rats

In this work, we propose a mathematical model that describes liver evolution and concentrations of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in a group of rats damaged with carbon tetrachloride.Carbon tetrachloride was employed to induce cirrhosis.A second groups damaged with carbon tetrachloride was exposed simultaneously a plant ext
