Contact with armadillos increases the risk of leprosy in Brazil: a case control study. [PDF]

, 2008
BACKGROUND: Mycobacterium leprae infection has recently been detected in wild armadillos in Brazil. Leprosy is still endemic in Brazil and although its transmission is mostly by person-to-person contact, many cases report no history of previously known ...

Engineering and Characterization of a Fluorescent Fission Yeast Arp2/3 Complex for Single Molecule Mechanistic Investigations

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arp2/3 complex is a seven‐component protein complex that facilitates the assembly of branched actin filament networks by binding to pre‐existing “mother” actin filaments and initiating the nucleation of new branched “daughter” filaments. Arp2/3 complex must be activated by a nucleation promoting factor such as the WASP/Scar protein family. The

Robinow syndrome DVL1 variants disrupt morphogenesis and appendage formation in a Drosophila disease model

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Robinow syndrome is a rare developmental syndrome caused by variants in genes in Wnt signaling pathways. We previously showed that expression of patient variants in Dishevelled 1 (DVL1) in Drosophila and chicken models disrupts the balance of canonical and non‐canonical Wnt signaling.

Linking regional and global functional trait data: insights from mammal communities in a fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape

Oikos, EarlyView.
Accurate functional trait data are essential for understanding ecosystem services and processes in fragmented landscapes. We evaluated whether the global EltonTraits 1.0 database adequately represents the functional structure of mammal communities in forest fragments and restoration sites in a highly fragmented Atlantic Forest landscape.

Using a Conflict Framework Analysis to Help Beekeepers and Giant Armadillos (Priodontes maximus) Coexist

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2021
Damage caused by wildlife is one reason preventing peaceful coexistence between humans and wildlife. To identify the complexity and scope of human-wildlife interactions and to guide conservation interventions, a theoretical framework has been recently ...

Armadillo Mapper [PDF]

Tropical Conservation Science, 2017
Ecological niche modeling (ENM) uses species’ known occurrences and environmental variables to estimate potential geographic distributions. The potential distribution of a species can be updated and refined after new occurrences are collected; therefore, we developed an online application (Armadillo Mapper [AM]) that automatically updates the ...

Mammalian Osteoderm Ultrastructure in the Armored Acomys Spiny Mouse Tail

Small, EarlyView.
The ultrastructure of armored platelets – termed osteoderms – in the tail skin of Acomys cahirinus spiny mice is characterized using 2D and 3D microscopy methods. The imbricated structure is composed of calcium phosphate biomineral and has select structural elements that are bone‐like and tooth‐like in nature.
