Beyond that, they deserve a salute for wresting control of the movie away from the original distributor, the Weinstein Co. As soon as the story broke on Oct. 5 about that other industry bully-rapist, ...Sheridan and Acacia Entertainment renegotiated everything and made sure that no profits will go to TWC, but instead will be directed to the National Indigenous Women's Resource Center. 'Mother!' (3) Darren Aronofsky's "Mother!" stirred up love/hate/confusion among audiences and critics, but the artisan work is indisputably great.In supporting roles, Sterling K. Brown in "Marshall"; Betty Gabriel as the eerie maid Georgina in "Get Out"; and the excellent Beulah Koale in "Thank You for Your Service" Writers Danny Strong, for his screenplay for "Rebel in the Rye" about J.D. Salinger; Mike White, "Beatriz at Dinner"; James Gray, "The Lost City of Z" 'The Promise' Open Road's "The Promise," directed by Terry George from a script by him and Robin Swicord, was largely ignored at the box office, but that's OK:
Despite an extensive literature on the role of acoustic cues in mate choice little is known about the specific vocal traits that female mammals prefer. We used resynthesis techniques and playback ...experiments to examine the behavioural responses of oestrous female koalas, Phascolarctos cinereus, to male bellows in which a specific acoustic cue to body size, the formants, were modified to simulate callers of different body size. Oestrous females looked longer towards, and spent more time in close proximity to, loudspeakers broadcasting bellows simulating larger male koalas. These findings suggest that female koalas use formants (key components of human speech) to select larger males as mating partners, and represent the first evidence of a marsupial mating preference based on a vocal signal. More generally, these results indicate that intersexual selection pressures to lower formants and exaggerate size are present in a marsupial species, raising interesting questions about the evolutionary origins of formant perception.
► We show that female koalas use formants to select larger males as mating partners. ► This is the first evidence of a marsupial mating preference based on a vocal signal. ► Formant perception may initially have evolved to broadcast information on body size.
¿Cómo encaja esta última obra del Roas escritor en una trayectoria que parece tan homogénea y definitoria de su estilo como la esbozada más arriba? ¿Se encontrará el lector que se acerque a La ...estrategia del koala con una nueva exploración de las posibilidades de lo fantástico?
Details of 11 previously reported cases and 32 new cases of cryptococcosis in captive and wild koalas were analysed. Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii accounted for all 29 cases in which varietal ...status was determined. No age or sex predisposition was observed. The respiratory tract was the primary focus of disease in 77% of cases. Although the lower respiratory tract was affected most commonly (60% of cases), 30% of cases had upper respiratory tract lesions and 14% had both. Dissemination was common, especially to the central nervous system (37% cases). Local extension to surrounding tissues was a feature of upper respiratory tract disease. Other tissues showing cryptococcal invasion included lymph nodes (19%), gastrointestinal tract (12%), kidneys (12%), spleen (9%) and skin (7%). Only three cases (7%) had no respiratory tract or central nervous system involvement, two cases of primary skin inoculation and one case of primary lymphadenopathy. Late presentation was a likely factor in the high proportion of cases with disseminated disease (40%). The proportion of koala cases with involvement of the central nervous system, lower respiratory tract and skin, parallels what has been reported for immunocompetent people. Cryptococcosis in the koala appears to be an excellent naturally occurring model for examination of the cryptococcal host-parasite relationship in all species.
Résumé
En août 2006, des déchets toxiques importés par un navire vraquier polyvalent ont été déversés en 14 endroits répartis sur sept sites dans différents quartiers du district d’Abidjan, ...provoquant une catastrophe environnementale avec la mort d’une dizaine de personnes, l’hospitalisation de quelques dizaines d’autres et des troubles nécessitant plusieurs dizaines de milliers de consultations médicales. Face à cette situation, les autorités sanitaires et administratives décidèrent d’un certain nombre de mesures de protection, notamment la destruction de cultures autour des points de déversement. En vue d’apprécier l’impact psychologique et socio-économique, ainsi que son ampleur spatiale, nous avons entrepris une enquête transversale multidisciplinaire dans les quartiers abritant des sites de déversement, du 19 octobre au 8 décembre 2006, en utilisant la méthode d’échantillonnage par transect. L’enquête, réalisée par questionnaire, a concerné 809 ménages répartis dans les différents quartiers de déversement des déchets toxiques. Plus de 62 % des ménages visités ont abrité au moins un individu affirmant avoir souffert des déchets toxiques (501 ménages affectés). 62,5 % des « ménages affectés » habitaient la commune de Cocody (qui comptait deux sites et quatre points de déversement), 30,1 % la commune d’Abobo (deux sites et trois points) et 7,4 % la commune de Koumassi (un site et un point). Pour fuir les nuisances et les risques encourus, 22,8 % des 501 ménages « affectés » ont dû déménager de leurs domiciles. Pour faire face aux conséquences sanitaires engendrées par cette pollution, 30,5 % des ménages « affectés » ont engagé des dépenses. Celles-ci ont été en moyenne de 92 450 FCFA (=141 €), avec des extrêmes de 1 000 FCFA (= 1,5 €) et de 1 500 000 FCFA (= 2 287 €). Les mesures de destruction des cultures et des fermes proches des points de déversement des produits toxiques dans un rayon de 200 m prises par les autorités n’ont touché que 2,2 % des ménages. Par ailleurs, notre étude a établi que la « zone d’influence » des déchets toxiques allait bien au-delà des 200 m prescrits par les autorités comme limite des opérations de destruction, ce qui a exacerbé le sentiment d’iniquité de lamesure pour les ménages qui ont été victimes, sans que des mesures de compensation n’aient suivi. Les conditions socio-économiques déjà précaires de nombreux ménages ont ainsi été lourdement bouleversées.

There is done a balance of the different historical arboretums of eucalyptus of the province of Huelva. With overview of his your introduction in Europe and this province (SW Spain). Where his ...culture was intensified by the Forest Patrimony of the spanish state in the second half of 20th century. The taxonomic nomenclature is updated of the references of eucalyptus cultivated in this province, analyzing in turn, the state of conservation of the different arboretums at present. Finally demonstrates the interest of these arboretums to guarantee the presence of the koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) in zoological Spanish cores, and your paper in the eradication of the malaria in the province of Huelva in last century.
Se hace un balance de los diferentes arboretos históricos de eucaliptos de la provincia de Huelva (SO España), área donde se intensificó su cultivo por parte del Patrimonio Forestal del estado español en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Se hace una revisión de su introducción en Europa y España, actualizando la nomenclatura taxonómica de las referencias de eucaliptos cultivados en esta provincia, donde se analiza a su vez el estado de conservación de los diferentes arboretos presentes. Finalmente se manifiesta el interés de estos arboretums para garantizar la presencia del koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) en núcleos zoológicos españoles, y el papel desempeñado por el eucalipto en la erradicación de la malaria en la provincia de Huelva en el siglo pasado.
