Are there phylogenetic differences in salivary tannin-binding proteins between browsers and grazers, and ruminants and hindgut fermenters? [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2020
Mammalian browsers frequently encounter secondary metabolites such as tannins. Browsers may bind these tannins using salivary proteins, while mammalian grazers likely would not. Controlling for phylogeny, we ran inhibition radial diffusion assays of the saliva of 28 species of African herbivores (browsers, grazers, ruminants, and nonruminants) that ...

An event‐based magnetoencephalography study of simulated driving: Establishing a novel paradigm to probe the dynamic interplay of executive and motor function

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 44, Issue 5, Page 2109-2121, April 1, 2023., 2023
This study describes a new approach: a novel event‐based simulated drive made operational via magnetoencephalography compatible driving simulator hardware, paired with differential beamformer methods to characterize the neural correlates of realistic, complex motor activity. This paradigm is validated by expected primary beta and gamma motor responses.

Mapping Interictal activity in epilepsy using a hidden Markov model: A magnetoencephalography study

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 44, Issue 1, Page 66-81, January 2023., 2023
In this study, we use hidden Markov modeling (HMM) to create a unique statistical model of interictal brain activity for 10 pediatric epilepsy patients. This data‐driven model produces an output unique to each patient, and is used to localize the epileptogenic area(s).

Milk Hygiene in Rural Southwestern Uganda: Prevalence of Mastitis and Antimicrobial Resistance Profiles of Bacterial Contaminants of Milk and Milk Products

Veterinary Medicine International, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
Mastitis and antimicrobial resistance are a big challenge to the dairy industry in sub‐Saharan Africa. A study was conducted in Kashongi and Keshunga subcounties of Kiruhura District (in Uganda) where the government and private sector have deliberate programs to improve production efficiency, quality, and safety of milk and its products.

Bipedalism or bipedalisms: The os coxae of StW 573

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 163-183, February 2026.
There has been a long debate about the possibility of multiple contemporaneous species of Australopithecus in both eastern and southern Africa, potentially exhibiting different forms of bipedal locomotion. Here, we describe the previously unreported morphology of the os coxae in the 3.67 Ma Australopithecus prometheus StW 573 from Sterkfontein Member 2

Can Macroevolution Inform Contemporary Extinction Risk?

Ecology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2025.
We investigate the underlying assumptions of the idea that macroevolutionary indicators for large groups of species, such as rates of extinction, diversification or niche evolution, can inform species' current and future extinction risk status. We find that only past extinction rates can be reliable predictors of current extinction risk as the same ...

Correlated evolution of dispersal traits and habitat preference in the melicgrasses

American Journal of Botany, Volume 111, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract Premise Seed dispersal is a critical process impacting individual plants and their communities. Plants have evolved numerous strategies and structures to disperse their seeds, but the evolutionary drivers of this diversity remain poorly understood in most lineages. We tested the hypothesis that the evolution of wind dispersal traits within the
