1. Allometry as evidence of sexual selection in monochromatic birds: the case of the Coscoroba Swan (Anseriformes: Anatidae)
The Coscoroba Swan, Coscoroba coscoroba (Molina, 1782), is a poorly known aberrant Anserine endemic to South America. We captured adult birds (189 male, 157 female) from the largest population in Brazil at the Taim Ecological Reserve, State of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. Different patterns between sexes can reflect differences in selection, and positive allom

2. Allometric scaling on resistance exercises / Ajuste alométrico na comparação do desempenho de praticantes de exercícios resistidos
Em geral, acredita-se que o tamanho corporal representa um fator que afeta o desempenho em testes físicos e também em atividades do cotidiano, de maneira, pessoas mais altas e mais pesadas geralmente são mais fortes que as mais baixas e mais leves. A relação entre massa corporal (MC) e força muscular parece obedecer à lei de escala ou potência (Y=Y0*

3. Invariant scaling relationships for interspecific plant biomass production rates and body size
The allometric relationships for plant annualized biomass production (“growth”) rates, different measures of body size (dry weight and length), and photosynthetic biomass (or pigment concentration) per plant (or cell) are reported for multicellular and unicellular plants representing three algal phyla; aquatic ferns; aquatic and terrestrial herbaceo

4. Genetic Analysis of Size-Scaling Patterns in the Mouse Mandible
The relationship between multidimensional form of the adult mouse mandible and body size is examined from an ontogenetic perspective. The origin and ontogeny of phenotypic correlations are described in terms of genetic and environmental covariance patterns between adult skeletal morphology and growth in body weight. Different ontogenetic patterns are observe

5. Animal Pharmacokinetics and Interspecies Scaling of Sordarin Derivatives following Intravenous Administration
Sordarin derivatives constitute a new group of synthetic antifungal agents that selectively inhibit fungal protein synthesis. They have demonstrated in vitro activity against the most important fungal pathogens, both yeast and filamentous. This new family of compounds has also shown in vivo activity against murine Candida albicans, Histoplasma capsulatum, an

6. From micro to nano contacts in biological attachment devices
Animals with widely varying body weight, such as flies, spiders, and geckos, can adhere to and move along vertical walls and even ceilings. This ability is caused by very efficient attachment mechanisms in which patterned surface structures interact with the profile of the substrate. An extensive microscopic study has shown a strong inverse scaling effect in

7. Forecasting cephalosporin and monobactam antibiotic half-lives in humans from data collected in laboratory animals.
The postdistribution half-lives of 10 cephalosporin and 2 monobactam antibiotics in humans were predicted from data obtained in other mammals. This forecasting was accomplished with the allometric equation t1/2 = aWb, where a is the y intercept and b is the slope obtained from the log-log plot of antibiotic half-life (t1/2) versus body weight (W). Dimensionl

8. Pharmacokinetics of (-)-2'-3'-dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine in woodchucks.
The woodchuck (Marmota monax) has proven to be a suitable animal model for studying hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection owing to similarities in the course of infection between woodchuck hepatitis virus (WHV) in woodchucks and HBV in humans. (-)-beta-L-2',3'-Dideoxy-3'-thiacytidine (3TC; lamivudine) is a nucleoside analog which has demonstrated antiviral activ

9. Pharmacokinetics of GLQ223 in rats, monkeys, and patients with AIDS or AIDS-related complex.
The pharmacokinetics of GLQ223 administered as a single short intravenous infusion to rats, monkeys, and patients with AIDS or AIDS-related complex (ARC) are presented. GLQ223 was given at a dose of 3,500 micrograms/kg of body weight to five Sprague-Dawley rats; a dose of 300 micrograms/kg was given to three cynomolgus monkeys; and doses of 1, 8, 16, 24, and

10. Pharmacokinetics in Animals and Humans of a First-in-Class Peptide Deformylase Inhibitor
BB-83698, a potent and selective inhibitor of peptide deformylase, was the first compound of this novel antibacterial class to progress to clinical trials. Single- and/or multiple-dose studies with doses ranging from 10 to 50 mg of BB-83698/kg of body weight were done with mice, rats, and dogs. Intravenous pharmacokinetics were characterized by low to modera

11. Human Gut Bacterial Communities Are Altered by Addition of Cruciferous Vegetables to a Controlled Fruit- and Vegetable-Free Diet1–3
In the human gut, commensal bacteria metabolize food components that typically serve as energy sources. These components have the potential to influence gut bacterial community composition. Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and cabbage, contain distinctive compounds that can be utilized by gut bacteria. For example, glucosinolates can be hydrolyzed by
