Genetic mapping of escalated aggression in wild-derived mouse strain MSM/Ms: association with serotonin-related genes

The Japanese wild-derived mouse strain MSM/Ms (MSM) retains a wide range of traits related to behavioral wildness, including high levels of emotionality and avoidance of humans.In this study, we observed that MSM showed a markedly higher level of aggression than the standard laboratory strain C57BL/6J.Whereas almost all MSM males showed high freque

Segment tip geometry of sheet intrusions, II: Field observations of tip geometries and a model for evolving emplacement mechanisms

Igneous sheet intrusions are segmented across several orders of magnitude, with segment tip geometry commonly considered indicative of the propagation mechanism (brittle or non-brittle).Proposed propagation mechanisms are inferred to represent host rock mechanical properties during initial magma emplacement; typically, these models do not account f
