TL;DR: In this paper , a repeated measures single-group feasibility study was used to investigate the potential success and feasibility of an adaptive climbing program including group social skills activities to positively impact social skills in children with developmental delays.
Abstract: Purpose: A repeated measures single-group feasibility study was used to investigate the potential success and feasibility of an adaptive climbing program including group social skills activities to positively impact social skills in children with developmental delays. Methods: A convenience sample of 10 children aged 4 to 12 years participated in six social skills activity groups and adaptive climbing sessions at a rock-climbing facility in North Carolina. Trained observers measured targeted social skills via an author-generated social skills tracking form. Results: A paired t-test indicates a statistically significant improvement in social skills from session 1 to session 6 (pConclusions: Outcomes suggest participation in a community-based adaptive climbing program that involves group social skills activities may be beneficial for promoting social skill development in children with developmental delays. Opportunities exist for occupational therapists to partner with climbing gyms or other organizations to develop and tailor programming specific to each child’s developmental level and needs.
Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article , the main features of natural spawning of the climbing perch in aquarium compared to induced spawning are described, and a positive size-assortative mating has been revealed.
Abstract: Non-random mating plays a key role in speciation and impacts the individual life history. Body size is known to be one of the most important traits on which the mate choice is based. Various patterns of body size preference are known in fish, but they have been studied in a limited number of species. Although the climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) is widespread and well known, a few reports of its spawning are published. Moreover, its breeding has only been described in captivity and in most cases it has been artificially induced with hormonal agents. This paper describes the main features of natural spawning of the climbing perch in aquarium compared to induced spawning. A positive size-assortative mating has been revealed. The mating system of Anabas has been shown to be flexible, presumably ranging from monogamy to polygamy. The results are discussed in the context of the general issue of the adequacy of fish behaviour research methods.

TL;DR: In this article , a light-driven dynamic adsorption/desorption soft suction cup inspired by rock-climbing fish (Beaufortia kweichowensis) was developed for climbing tilted or slippery surfaces.
