TL;DR: In this article, the retinal visual fields and eye movement amplitudes of cormorants were determined using an ophthalmoscopic reflex technique, and it was shown that their visual fields exhibit convergence towards a set of characteristics that meet the perceptual challenges of close-quarter prey detection or flush foraging in both aquatic and terrestrial environments.

TL;DR: The results indicate there is no universal rule for birds and mammals governing the relationships among RMR, AEE, and DEE and suggest that birds tend to have a different strategy for managing their energy budgets from those of mammals and that there are also differences in strategy between bird species.

TL;DR: Drierite has an affinity for CO2 when new and completely anhydrous, and therefore it has an adverse effect on the washout characteristics of this gas, and a 2‐min exposure at 20°C and 50% relative humidity is sufficient to reduce the 99% washout time.

TL;DR: The standard of reporting of quality interventions and QI techniques in surgery is often suboptimal, making it difficult to determine whether an intervention can be replicated and used to deliver a positive effect in another setting.
