In each group half (n = 7) of the animals were challenged and the remaining half served as contacts.
Day-to-day work involves all aspects of the administrative handling of research proposals: requesting additional information, selecting referees, preparation of decisions based on referees' opinions, serving as contact for researchers at all stages, just to name a few.
Perhaps the best-studied chemical cues in animals are epicuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) in Drosophila that serve as contact pheromones during physical contact phases of courtship.
In D. mojavensis, epicuticular CHCs serve as contact pheromones that mediate sexual isolation between geographically isolated populations [9], [28], [29], and species-specific CHC differences have been described [19].
Centromeres are structural features of the genome that serve as contact points between chromosomes and the spindle during cell division.
Second proposal, originating from the patient interviews was to install a function in the practices/hospitals serving as contact point for the patients between the regular visits.
Among arthropods, common species-specific phenotypes that influence organismal water balance and also serve as contact pheromones, particularly in insects, are cuticular waxes composed of hydrocarbons [ 6- 12].
CHCs serve as contact pheromones and might be the primary mechanism used by species that lack obvious morphological or behavioral differences [ 27].
Cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) serve as contact sex pheromones in flies and other insects (Ferveur, 2005; Kent et al., 2008; Krupp et al., 2008; Kuo et al., 2012; Yew et al., 2009).
