A new tertiary stibine and bismuthine containing C-heterocyclic selenophene ring have been synthesized. Tris(2-selenophenyl)stibine (1) and tris(2-selenophenyl) bismuthine (2) and characterized by IR, MS, H-1, C-13, COSY, HETCOR NMR spectroscopy. Crystal structures of stibine and bismuthine have been determined. In…

In various species of crayfish it has been proposed that different extra-retinal photoreceptors and pacemakers could be involved in the photo entrainment mechanisms. The identity of the neural structures responsible for this phenomenon is not known. The objective of this…

While birdsong is a model system for animal communication studies, our knowledge is derived primarily from the study of only one sex and is therefore incomplete. The study of song in a role-reversed species would provide a unique opportunity to…
