An ethological approach to the analysis of antidepressant drug action focuses on the restorative effects of these drugs on intraspecies behavior and locomotor activity. The present analysis reveals that iprazid and amphetamine differentially alter locomotion and intraspecies behavior in mice that were pretreated with reserpine. Fluoxetine restores intraspecies behavior, specifically by increasing the number of passive contacts, but without activating locomotion. Trazodon, pyrazidol and clomipramine restore aggression by dominant mice that was suppressed by aversive stimulation. The restoration of intraspecies behavior among laboratory rodents subjected either to reserpine treatment or to prolonged aversive stimulation may reveal the antidepressant effects of drugs.

The intraspecies and interspecies Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) between the closely related Cebidae species, capuchin monkeys (, ), and the tamarins () was performed to analyze their genomes. In particular, this approach determines balanced and unbalanced repetitive DNA sequence distribution and reveals dynamics during evolution. Capuchin monkeys are considered the most ancestral group with conserved syntenies compared to the hypothetical ancestral New World monkeys' karyotype.

Background: Huge phages (genome size ≥ 200 kb) have been detected in diverse habitats worldwide, infecting a variety of prokaryotes. However, their evolution and adaptation strategy in soils remain poorly understood due to the scarcity of soil-derived genomes.
Results: Here, we conduct a size-fractioned (< 0.

Background/objectives: is the pathogenic anaerobe most commonly isolated from intra-abdominal infections, abscesses, and blood. Despite its clinical importance, research on its pan-genome-scale evolution is still limited.
Methods: Herein, we analyzed the pan-genome architecture of 374 strains to explore their intra-species genomic diversity and evolutionary patterns.

The global chaos caused by the July 19, 2024 technology meltdown highlights the need for a theory of what large-scale cohesive behaviors-dangerous or desirable-could suddenly emerge from future systems of interacting humans, machinery, and software, including artificial intelligence; when they will emerge; and how they will evolve and be controlled. Here, we offer answers by introducing an aggregation model that accounts for the interacting entities' inter- and intraspecies diversities. It yields a novel multidimensional generalization of existing aggregation physics.
