This ant is canopy dwelling, rarely descending to the forest floor and when it does it always travels on well defined trails (Additional File 1).
Therefore, although we defined horse trails as those trails apparently used and maintained by feral horses in the 15 years prior to our study, it is possible that many of these trails were originally created or used by cattle.
This lack of an independent, external party and a defined audit trail reduces the process validity, leaving it exposed to tampering, resulting in a less robust trial design.
Ideally, you should find a clearly defined game trail or known "snipe" territory to set the snipe-hunter off to a good start.
Spatial excursions and extent of trail-following by male conspecifics were measured from the video using computerised motion analysis (CellTrak for Windows, Motion Analysis Corp .. Male movements were defined as trail-following when following occurred for more than 3 snail diameters.
These findings confirm a previously defined role of TRAIL and Bim in the regulation of hepatocyte apoptosis, and demonstrate that the TRAIL Jun kinase Bim axis is a major and important apoptosis amplification pathway in primary hepatocytes and liver tumor cells.
These results further define Ad5-TRAIL as a novel anti-tumor therapeutic and demonstrate its potential use as a means for treating prostate tumors, as well as other solid tumors, in vivo.
This interaction and how it is influenced by changes in landscape appearance was explored here in a site-specific context where 32 respondents took their own photos of liked and disliked attributes while walking a pre-defined trail of 2 km through a recreational forest landscape with extensive variation in landscape appearance and management regimes.
We pick our way through a rock field littered with scree on a sometimes ill-defined trail that is occasionally signed by number markers painted on large boulders.
MEC1 B lymphocytes cultivated on human plasma fibronectin-coated surfaces show the typical polarized morphology of a migrating cell with clearly defined leading and trailing edges.
