STRESS REACTIVITY NEAR BIRTH AFFECTS NEST BUILDING TIMING AND OFFSPRING NUMBER AND SURVIVAL IN THE EUROPEAN RABBIT (ORYCTOLAGUS CUNICULUS).

Stress reactivity near birth affects nest building timing and offspring number and survival in the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus).

The physiological response to stressors has great importance, and its variance has an adaptive role in the survival of individuals.This study describes the effects of stress-axis activation on maternal behavior during the birthing process (parturition) in captive rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus).In this species, chances of survival are strongly infl

Zr alloying effects on the microstructure, compression performance and oxidation resistance of refractory high entropy alloys

Three refractory high entropy alloys (RHEAs) with nominal compositions of Mo _0.5 NbHf _0.25 CrZr _x TiAl (x = 0, 0.5, 1, mole ratio) were prepared by vacuum non-consumable arc melting technology.The influences of Zr addition on the microstructure, compressive performance and oxidation resistance at 1473 K of RHEAs were investigated and evaluated i
