Effects of thermal treatments on 10 major phenolics and their antioxidant contributions in Acer truncatum leaves and flowers.

abstract：:Social information use is common in a wide range of group-living animals, notably in humans. The role it plays in decision-making could be a key to understanding how social groups make collective decisions. The observation of road-crossing behaviours in the presence of other individuals is an ideal means to study the ...
