Resumen
AbstractThe portrayal of the actions of fictive characters for purposes of entertainment is a familiar phenomenon. Theories that seek to explain why we are attracted to such fictions and whether we learn from them have produced no consensus and no adequate overall account. In this paper, we present the hypothesis that entertainment relies on cognitive adaptations for pretend play. As a simplified model system, we draw on our field study of children's chase play, which is characterized by an elementary form of pretense. The children pretend, at first without consciously representing their prete

Resumen
Abstract Mismanagement of the environment destroys biotic resources including trees, plants, birds, mammals and aquatic species; this forces people to endure contending with material hazards and places human lives at risk. Fiction provides a lens to interrogate the different ways in which environments are imagined, negotiated and used in socio-geographic and political arenas. Mayega’s novella The People’s Schoolmaster problematizes the various factors that victimise humankind ecologically. Relying on Rob Nixon’s concept of ‘slow violence’, I analyse Mayega’s representation of local reactions t

Resumen
Writers of science fiction have often speculated about what it would be like to discover, on a planet in outer space, a much higher form of intelligence. How would we react to those creatures? Would we be so fearful of them that we would try to kill them? Or would we welcome the opportunity to attempt to understand their language and culture? Stranger than fiction is the fact that there already exists a species of animal life on earth that scientists speculate has higher than human intelligence. The whale has a brain that in some instances is six times bigger than the human brain and its neoco

Resumen
The increasing presence of wild animals (especially carnivores) in cities has become a concern in contemporary news stories, scientific writing, urban planning, and works of fiction. This concern seems to demonstrate that the movement, and more specifically the success, of wild animals in urban space threatens our idea of the city as an inherently unnatural, man-made environment, thereby destabilizing what distinguishes human from animal. Johanna Sinisalo’s novel Troll: A Love Story explores and exploits this instability by making the “animal” in question one from folklore, surrounding it with

Resumen
In "Mother-Infant Bonding: A Scientific Fiction," just published by Yale University Press, Diane E. Eyer examines mother-infant bonding, one theory that turned out to have a short but influential life span, roughly the 1970's. Bonding managed to have a major impact despite slender evidence for its existence: a study by the original researchers of only 28 mothers, analogies from studies of mother-offspring attachment and rejection in nonhuman mammals as well as interpretations drawn from the behavior of infants in pathological situations. Though the early research has largely been dismissed, th

Resumen
AbstractGeneral public inclusion in nature conservation is crucial to accomplish wildlife species recovery. Mammal and bird species usually receive most of the research and general public attention, leaving aside other taxa species. It is necessary to obtain general public support towards other taxa species by emphasizing ecological attributes. Here we test if the disclosure of the threatened and endemic status of amphibians, fish, and invertebrates, could increase general public support. Additionally, we wanted to identify if the threatened and endemic status could implicate a difference in s

Resumen
Midbrain structures, including the periaqueductal gray (PAG), are essential nodes in vertebrate motor circuits controlling a broad range of behaviors, from locomotion to complex social behaviors such as vocalization. Few single-unit recording studies, so far all in mammals, have investigated the PAG's role in the temporal patterning of these behaviors. Midshipman fish use vocalization to signal social intent in territorial and courtship interactions. Evidence has implicated a region of their midbrain, located in a similar position as the mammalian PAG, in call production. Here, extracellular s

Nesse sentido, os morcegos são fundamentais ao ecossistema, atuando como dispersores de sementes, polinizadores e predadores de insetos, por isso, é necessário desmistificar visões errôneas sobre esses mamíferos.

Although the English writer Sarah Hall is mostly known for her novels about the Cumbrian borderlands between England and Scotland, from Haweswater (2003) to The Wolf Border (2016), this paper employs a wider understanding of borders and boundaries not just as spatial issues, but as constructs related to embodied and identitarian processes in which borderlines are erected, breached, or destroyed. The story “M,” from Hall’s last short story collection, Sudden Traveller (2019), will be taken as a case in point to illustrate how characteristics of Hall’s fiction, such as the representation of an a

Resumen
Most mammals modulate respiratory frequency (RF) to dissipate heat (i.e., panting) and avoid heat stroke during hyperthermic conditions. During hyperthermia, the RF of intact mammals increases and then declines or ceases (apnea). It has been proposed that this RF modulation depends on the presence of higher brain structures such as the hypothalamus. However, the direct effects of hyperthermia on the respiratory neural network have not been examined. To address this issue, the respiratory neural network [i.e., ventral respiratory group (VRG)] was isolated in a brain stem preparation taken from

Resumen
Talking about tears in Pasolini’s cinema evokes the brief moment in Mamma Roma, when a boy hums Una furtiva lagrima in a mocking tone as he sits on a staircase. The man’s tear doesn’t even try to pass for real; it is, in short, a pure ‘tear of the cinema’, made of glycerin, but it assumes, as such, in the story, a figurative reality integrated in the ‘real’ within the fiction and the character’s psychology.

Abstract So everything’s over. The baiji is gone, and with it we have lost 20 million years of unique evolution, an entire mammal family, the top predator of the Yangtze ecosystem, the reincarnation of a drowned princess—and one of the most enigmatic and beautiful creatures on earth. This is a tragedy, but it is also more than that: it is a travesty. It is simply not true that this extinction happened so quickly that it caught us unawares.

The reaction of the scientific community was on the whole friendly, if somewhat incredulous. In contrast, the reaction of the public at large was overwhelmingly negative, primed to some extent by a media weaned on a diet of previous cloning scare stories and pulp fiction.

Much modern technology claims to help us manage and conquer time, and yet as we use these technologies, we often become more hurried and frenetic. Rather than trying to control linear time, Berry’s fictional characters learn to participate in cyclic time. This notion of memory has rich theological and literary roots that reach to Augustine, Dante, and T. S. Eliot. Berry’s stories are often narrated by older characters looking back over their lives and stitching meaning together from disparate events; though memory is devalued in a culture where information is always accessible, it remains cruc

Resumen
‘Cloning’ is the popular name given to Cell Nuclear Replacement (CNR) (also sometimes referred to as Cell Nuclear Transfer (CNT)). CNR involves a recipient cell, generally an egg (oocyte), and a donor cell. The nucleus of the donor cell is introduced into the oocyte. With appropriate stimulation the oocyte is induced to develop. Once the embryo is created, stem cells can be harvested from it for research purposes or for cell therapy (therapeutic cloning). The embryo might also be implanted into a viable womb and developed to term (reproductive cloning). The first mammal to be born by CNR was D
