Do snacks of exercise lower blood pressure?
Four 10-minute snacks of brisk walking were as effective as 40 minutes of continuous brisk walking per day at reducing blood pressure. This has implications for public health messages and advice to patients with hypertension.
These data suggest that ecological conditions leading to rare An. gambiae s.s. in populations dominated by An. coluzzii may promote a breakdown of spatial swarm segregation and assortative mating between the two species. The lower overall hybridization rates observed at the larval and adult indoor stages compared to cross-mating rates support the idea that post-mating selection processes acting against hybrids may occur mostly prior to and/or at the early larval stages.
