Orientation Preference and Behavioural Thermoregulatory Coordination in Pogona vitticeps.
… the tail or respiratory heat exchange from gaping was inhibited. Changes in thermoregulatory behaviour were then observed in the manipulated bearded dragons in order to assess the potential contributors to thermal preferences as well as isolate potential coordination between behaviours. Both …

The Respiratory Physiology and Energy Metabolism of Freshwater Mussels and Their Responses to Lack of Oxygen
… were to determine the diurnal patterns of valve gaping of freshwater mussels from different habitats, and to monitor heart rate changes of a mussel species that exhibited the diurnal gaping. The results showed that night gaping is evident for the mussels collected from lentic areas, but not for …

Regulation of nucleosome dynamics
… Finally, we identified slow spontaneous local gaping of nucleosomes under physiological conditions. Gaping modes switch along the direction normal to the DNA plane at minutes (1-10 minutes) time scale. The existence of nucleosome in different gaping modes may underlie the heterogeneous …

Effect of variation in nestling hunger levels on the begging behavior of nestlings and the provisioning behavior of adult American Kestrels
… begging intensity of each nestling as 0 (no gaping), 1 (gaping), 2 (gaping with neck extended), or 3 (wings flapping vigorously) when adults arrived at and left nests, and (3) noted how long nestlings continued to utter begging calls after adults left nests. I also determined the provisioning …

A practical implementation of XVA in the new normal
… collapse of the “too big to fail” institutions. Gaping holes within the existing risk framework lurked, which both regulators and practitioners failed to detect.

Circadian and Circatidal Rhythms of Protein Abundance in the Intertidal Mussel Mytilus californianus
… environmental conditions, such as adjusting gaping behavior and heart rate. At the cellular level, transcriptomic studies on mussels’ baseline circadian and circatidal rhythms have determined that the circadian rhythm is the dominant transcriptional rhythm. However, as proteins reflect the …

Interrogation of the neural mechanisms by which male and female rats assess aversive and mixed valence stimuli in learning and performing a task
… they were placed in the context and we measured gaping, an analogue of human vomiting. To identify brain regions associated with acute LiCl and ANV, we measured c-fos activation by immunohistochemical staining on days 0 and 8. We found both male and female rats exhibited gaping at equal rates but …

Toxicity of zinc, copper, and sediments to early life stages of freshwater mussels in the Powell River, Virginia
… Zn at lower concentrations as evidenced by valve gaping and a swollen and nonresponsive foot. Copper was 5 to 15 times more toxic than Zn, with 48-hr LC50 values ranging from 52 to 156 μg Cu/L, and ECS5O values ranging from 25 to 115 μg Cu/L for juveniles of A. pectorosa. Copper appeared to exert …
