Strain differences between C57Bl/6 and DBA/2 mice (Mus musculus) in delayed matching and nonmatching-to-position tasks: impact of sample responses and delay intervals

Background Spatial working memory is commonly assessed in rodents using delayed matching-to-position (DMTP) and delayed nonmatching-to-position (DNMTP) tasks.Although these tasks are widely used to examine memory function, particularly in relation to delay intervals and response requirements, strain differences in task performance remain underexplo

Foraging in Urban Environments Increases Bactericidal Capacity in Plasma and Decreases Corticosterone Concentrations in White Ibises

As humans continue to infringe on natural habitats, more animals are exposed to urbanization and its associated challenges.It is still unclear, however, whether the movement of animals into urban habitats negatively influences the health and/or survival of those animals, however those animals often experience shifts in resource availability, diet c
