Evaluation of Spatio-Temporal Gait Variability during Obstacle Crossing in Parkinson\'s Disease by Elaheh Azadian, Mahdi Majlesi, Ali Fatahi, Rezvan Bakhtiyarian

“…Conclusion Crossing obstacles in individuals with PD resulted in reduced walking speed and increased double support time, which are among the most important risk factors for falls. Additionally, greater variability during normal walking or obstacle crossing, accompanied by decreased cognitive functions in the PD group, indicates an increased risk of falls during challenging activities.…”

Revision of the Indo-Pacific species of the genus Leucosyrinx Dall, 1889 (Neogastropoda: Conoidea: Pseudomelatomidae) by Yuri I. Kantor, Alexander Fedosov, Nicolas Puillandre

“…The genus is confined to the upper bathyal zone, ranging from 195 to 1634 m in depth, with most occurrences between 500 and 1000 m. The highest species richness (30 species) was recorded in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, though this is likely due to more intensive sampling of the upper bathyal zone in these regions compared to other areas of the Indo-Pacific. …”

A literature review on the role of Culicoides in the transmission of avian blood parasites in Europe by Carolina Romeiro Fernandes Chagas, Rasa Bernotienė, Aneliya Bobeva, Dovilė Bukauskaitė, Martina Ferraguti, Rafael Gutiérrez-Lopez, Margarita Kazak, Bruno Mathieu, Kristina Valavičiūte-Pocienė, Diego Santiago-Alarcon, Milena Svobodová, Jesús Veiga, Jan Votýpka, Rita Žiegytė, Josué Martínez-de la Puente

“…Among them, Oropouche virus, African Horse sickness virus, and bluetongue virus are the most notable pathogens. However, comparatively little is known about which Culicoides species serve as vectors of wildlife parasites affecting wild birds globally, including the malaria-like parasite of the genus Haemoproteus (Haemosporida: Haemoproteidae) and kinetoplastid Trypanosoma (Trypanosomatida: Trypanosomatidae). …”

Effect of the reinforcement rate on goal-directed and habitual choices in a multiple schedule by Ting Hu, Shun Fujimaki, Shun Fujimaki, Hiroto Kawarada, Yutaka Kosaki

“…Although the VI 15-s component produced fewer outcomes, it led to stronger devaluation effects and residual responding. The most important finding of this study is that alternating R–O contingencies in a multiple schedule under lean reinforcement conditions consistently sustain goal-directed control even after extensive training, while richer conditions promote a shift to habitual control. …”
