These two patterns are not surprising from a behavioral ecology perspective.
One puzzling result is that although grasshoppers were no different in TTRS at some power densities, they showed a surprising degree of behavioral control after long periods of irradiation, suggesting a greater tolerance of x-rays to the head.
It is therefore not surprising that many species' behavioral dominance cues cause the animal to appear physically larger [6], [7].
The behavioral shifts were surprising.
The few studies that have explored DMN connectivity under sedation/anesthesia (see Table S1) have shown little change between sedated/anesthetized and awake states [6], [7], a surprising finding, given the overt behavioral changes that occur with deepening sedation/anesthesia.
This inability of Vipr2−/− Arc/ME/PT and pituitary to maintain an in vitro phase that correlates with the phase of behavioral rhythms is surprising given that these tissues show no alteration in period, amplitude or rate of damping of PER2::LUC expression.
Such striking genetic partitioning within a highly mobile species is surprising, and implies environmental and behavioral mechanisms limit gene flow between populations.
The lack of differences in motor excitability may seem surprising in the light of behavioral results, showing a native-speakers advantage in the speechreading task and a similar (non-significant) trend in the language discrimination task.
Such an increase is not surprising as there is some behavioral generalization from the learned odor to the new odor, and increasing memory for the learned odor through caffeine treatment may increase generalization responses to the novel odor [ 34].
It is not surprising, therefore, that the prevalence of behavioral addictions has been found to be higher in patients with bipolar disorder than among healthy controls - 33% vs. 13% - in one study (Di Nicola et al. 2010).
