Compression tests were performed on the Mg−6Zn−0.5Ce(wt.%)alloy using a Gleeble−1500 thermomechanical simulator testing system at temperatures of 250,300,350℃ and strain rates of 0.001,0.01,0.1 s^−1.The microstructur...Compression tests were performed on the Mg−6Zn−0.5Ce(wt.%)alloy using a Gleeble−1500 thermomechanical simulator testing system at temperatures of 250,300,350℃ and strain rates of 0.001,0.01,0.1 s^−1.The microstructure and texture evolution of the Mg−6Zn−0.5Ce alloy during hot compression were investigated by optical microscopy(OM)and electron backscattered diffraction(EBSD).The results showed that Zener−Hollomon parameters obtained from the deformation processes had a significant effect on the dynamic recrystallization and texture of the Mg−6Zn−0.5Ce alloy.The fraction of undynamically recrystallized(unDRXed)regions increased,and the dynamically recrystallized(DRXed)grain size decreased with increasing the Zener−Hollomon parameters.The texture intensity of the DRXed regions was weaker compared with that in the unDRXed regions,which resulted in a sharper texture intensity in the samples deformed with higher Zener−Hollomon parameters.The increase in recrystallized texture intensity was related to preferred grain growth.展开更多

Yet, few studies have considered evolutionary relationships among the integrated suite of structures associated with male reproduction. In this study, we examined nine species of lizards in the genus Anolis to determine whether larger copulatory morphologies and higher potential for copulatory muscle performance evolved in association with higher copulation rates. In 10--12 adult males of each species, we measured the size of the hemipenes and related muscles, the seminiferous tubules in the testes, and the renal sex segments in the kidneys, and we assessed the fiber type composition of the muscles associated with copulation. In a series of pbylogenetically-informed analyses, we used field behavioral data to determine whether observed rates of copulation were associated with these morphologies.We found that species with larger hemipenes had larger fibers in the RPM （the retractor penis magnus, a muscle that controls hemipenis movement）, and that the evolution of larg- er hemipenes and RPM fibers is associated with the evolution of higher rates of copulatory behavior. However, the sizes of the seminiferous tubules and renal sex segments, and the muscle fiber composition of the RPM, were not associated with copulation rates. Further, body size was not associated with the size of any of the reproductive structures investigated. The results of this study suggest that peripheral morphologies involved in the transfer of ejaculate may be more evolutionarily labile than internal structures involved in ejaculate production.展开更多
