DNA metabarcoding reveals that coyotes in New York City consume wide variety of native prey species and human food [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Carnivores are currently colonizing cities where they were previously absent. These urban environments are novel ecosystems characterized by habitat degradation and fragmentation, availability of human food, and different prey assemblages than ...

Comparing Microbiome Sampling Methods in a Wild Mammal: Fecal and Intestinal Samples Record Different Signals of Host Ecology, Evolution

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The gut microbiome is a community of host-associated symbiotic microbes that fulfills multiple key roles in host metabolism, immune function, and tissue development. Given the ability of the microbiome to impact host fitness, there is increasing interest

Comparative phylogeography uncovers evolutionary past of Holarctic dragonflies [PDF]

PeerJ, 2021
Here, we investigate the evolutionary history of five northern dragonfly species to evaluate what role the last glaciation period may have played in their current distributions.

Reconstructing the dietary habits and trophic positions of the Longipterygidae (Aves: Enantiornithes) using neontological and comparative morphological methods [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
The Longipterygidae are a unique clade among the enantiornithines in that they exhibit elongate rostra (≥60% total skull length) with dentition restricted to the distal tip of the rostrum, and pedal morphologies suited for an arboreal lifestyle (as in ...

Let’s end taxonomic blank slates with molecular morphology

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Many known evolutionary lineages have yet to be described formally due to a lack of traditional morphological characters. This is true for genetically distinctive groups within the amoeboid Placozoa animals, the protists in ponds, and the bacteria that ...

Phylogenomics and the first higher taxonomy of Placozoa, an ancient and enigmatic animal phylum

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Placozoa is an ancient phylum of extraordinarily unusual animals: miniscule, ameboid creatures that lack most fundamental animal features. Despite high genetic diversity, only recently have the second and third species been named.

Novel neuroanatomical integration and scaling define avian brain shape evolution and development

eLife, 2021
How do large and unique brains evolve? Historically, comparative neuroanatomical studies have attributed the evolutionary genesis of highly encephalized brains to deviations along, as well as from, conserved scaling relationships among brain regions ...

United/States: A Revolutionary History of American Statehood

Michigan Law Review, 2020
Where did states come from? Almost everyone thinks that states descended immediately, originally, and directly from British colonies, while only afterward joining together as the United States. As a matter of legal history, that is incorrect. States and the United States were created by revolutionary independence, and they developed simultaneously in ...

A HISTORY OF AFRICAN AMERICAN SEPARATISM IN THE UNITED STATES

Political Expertise: POLITEX, 2023
This article analyzes the history of the development of the phenomenon of radical African-American movements classified as separatist. The roots of the phenomenon go back to the abolitionist movement of the mid-19th century, but most of these movements appeared in the USA in the 1920s - 1960s, after the migration of African Americans from the southern ...
