Phylogenetic analysis of museum specimens of houting Coregonus oxyrinchus shows the need for a revision of its extinct status.

According to the IUCN Red List the anadromous houting Coregonus oxyrinchus is categorized as 'extinct'. However, this extinct status might be incorrect because taxonomic difference between C. oxyrinchus and the closely related C.

Present-Day Mass Tourism: its Imaginaries and Nightmare Scenarios.

Present-day mass tourism uncannily resembles an auto-immune disease. Yet, self-destructive as it may be, it is also self-regenerating, changing its appearance and purpose. They are two modes that stand in contrast to each other.

Attraction of migrating glass eel (Anguilla anguilla) by freshwater flows from water pumping stations in an urbanized delta system.

Most studies on glass eel (Anguilla anguilla) migration are performed in natural estuaries, where they enter freshwater systems to live there for a period of years before they swim back again to the sea to reproduce. In these natural systems, river flows play a major role in attracting and directing migrating eels. However, coastal areas get urbanized more and more and characterized by anthropogenic barriers and hampered or artificial water flows.

The NMDAR modulator NYX-2925 alleviates neuropathic pain via a Src-dependent mechanism in the mPFC.

Previous studies have shown that oral administration of the NMDAR modulator NYX-2925 alleviates pain in several animal models of neuropathic pain and this appears to be through mPFC, but not spinal, mediated mechanisms. While much is known about the impact of neuropathic pain on NMDAR-mediated signaling in the spinal cord, limited studies have focused on the brain. In the current study, we assess signaling changes associated with NMDAR-mediated plasticity in the mPFC and the impact of NYX-2925 administration on the normalization of these signaling changes.

NMDAR activation regulates the daily rhythms of sleep and mood.

Study Objectives: The present studies examine the effects of NMDAR activation by NYX-2925 diurnal rhythmicity of both sleep and wake as well as emotion.

Methods: Twenty-four-hour sleep EEG recordings were obtained in sleep-deprived and non-sleep-deprived rats. In addition, the day-night cycle of both activity and mood was measured using home cage ultrasonic-vocalization recordings.
