A modular paper-and-plastic device for tuberculosis nucleic acid amplification testing in limited-resource settings.

abstract：:The frequency and form of visual signals can be shaped by selection from predators, prey or both. When a signal simultaneously attracts predators and prey selection may favour a strategy that minimizes risks while attracting prey. Accordingly, varying the frequency and form of the silken decorations added to their web...
