Informal supply chains of wild meat from rural Amazonia and food security in an urban center
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Iquitos, the most populated city in the Peruvian Amazon, is a hub in the regional supply chain of wild meat and supplies urban consumers. Studies on wild meat consumption have focused primarily on markets, limiting the scope of species considered to those that are economically valuable and potential inferences from those data.

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.In the Drosophila ovarian niche, an E‐cadherin‐to‐N‐cadherin switch, mediated by Wnt‐mir‐994 signalling, is repurposed to ensure niche resilience. This compensatory mechanism maintains niche integrity and stem cell support upon E‐cadherin loss, revealing a robustness circuit.

Ulnar dimensions and fossoriality in armadillos [PDF]
, 2021 Ulnar dimensions were measured in 14 species of armadillos (Xenarthra: Dasypodidae). An index of fossorial ability (IFA) was constructed, relating the length of the olecranon process to the remaining length of the ulna. For comparative purposes, the same

20: ARMADILLOS TESTED AS POTENTIAL EGG PREDATORS OF WILD TURKEYS IN THE MISSISSIPPI DELTA
Wildlife Society Bulletin, 1973 To explore indirectly the allegations that armadillos (Dasypus novemcinctus) are important predators on wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) nests, we placed 42 dummy nests, each containing three to six chicken eggs, in areas of recent armadillo activity in

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths
