Intensity-modulated radiotherapy for a rendu-osler-weber disease patient with recurrent severe epistaxis: a case report.

Case reports in medicine

Niyazi M, Caversaccio MD, Dubach P, Geretschläger A, Arnold A, Belka C, Aebersold DM, Blumstein NM.

Case Rep Med. 2010;2010:321835. doi: 10.1155/2010/321835. Epub 2010 Mar 28.

We present a case of a Rendu-Osler-Weber disease patient with recurrent life threatening epistaxis demanding multiple blood transfusions despite of repetitive endoscopic laser and electrocoagulations, endovascular embolisation, septodermoplasty, and long-term intranasal dressings. As alternative treatment modalities repeatedly failed and...

Social interactions among conspecifics are a fundamental and adaptively significant component of the biology of numerous species. Such interactions give rise to group living as well as many of the complex forms of cooperation and conflict that occur within...

Is alarm calling risky? Marmots avoid calling from risky places.

Ethology : formerly Zeitschrift fur Tierpsychologie

Collier TC, Blumstein DT, Girod L, Taylor CE.
PMID: 21116460
Ethology. 2010 Dec 01;116(12):1171-1178. doi: 10.1111/j.1439-0310.2010.01830.x.

Alarm calling is common in many species. A prevalent assumption is that calling puts the vocalizing individual at increased risk of predation. If calling is indeed costly, we need special explanations for its evolution and maintenance. In some, but...

Speech perception under adverse conditions: insights from behavioral, computational, and neuroscience research.

Frontiers in systems neuroscience

Guediche S, Blumstein SE, Fiez JA, Holt LL.
PMID: 24427119
Front Syst Neurosci. 2014 Jan 03;7:126. doi: 10.3389/fnsys.2013.00126. eCollection 2014.

Adult speech perception reflects the long-term regularities of the native language, but it is also flexible such that it accommodates and adapts to adverse listening conditions and short-term deviations from native-language norms. The purpose of this article is to...

The importance of indirect cues for white-browed sparrow-weaver (Plocepasser mahali) risk assessment.

Acta ethologica

Fong TE, Delong TW, Hogan SB, Blumstein DT.

Acta Ethol. 2009 Oct;12(2):79-85. doi: 10.1007/s10211-009-0059-4. Epub 2009 Aug 05.

Both direct cues that provide information about the actual presence of a predator and indirect environmental cues that provide information about the probability of encountering a predator may be used by animals assessing predation risk, but relatively few studies...

Adults show less sensitivity to phonetic detail in unfamiliar words, too.

Journal of memory and language

White KS, Yee E, Blumstein SE, Morgan JL.
PMID: 24065868
J Mem Lang. 2013 May 01;68(4):362-378. doi: 10.1016/j.jml.2013.01.003.

Young word learners fail to discriminate phonetic contrasts in certain situations, an observation that has been used to support arguments that the nature of lexical representation and lexical processing changes over development. An alternative possibility, however, is that these...

The decisions animals make to adjust their antipredator behavior to rapidly changing conditions have been well studied. Inducible defenses in plants are an antipredator behavior that acts on a longer time scale, but sensitive plants,

Marmots do not consistently use their left eye to respond to an approaching threat but those that did fled sooner.
