Handbook of best practice and standards for 2D+ and 3D imaging of natural history collections
Digitising a collection is key to make it last even after the physical objects are no longer available. Almost all of the techniques currently available to digitise a natural history collection in 2D+ and 3D are listed herein.

Collective motion in biological systems [PDF]
One of the conspicuous features of life is the persistent motion of creatures. Organisms move for many reasons; examples range from foraging through migration to escaping from a predator. Importantly in most of the cases, these organisms move together making use of the various advantages of ...

Time Delay Induced Death in Coupled Limit Cycle Oscillators [PDF]
We investigate the dynamical behaviour of two limit cycle oscillators that interact with each other via time delayed coupling and find that time delay can lead to amplitude death of the oscillators even if they have the same frequency.

Taxonomic revision and additional comments of some bats (Mammalia, Chiroptera) reported from Bolivia, with an updated checklist based on voucher material with verified identities [PDF]
We review the taxonomic identities of museum specimens of three bat species previously reported from Bolivia. We comment on some erroneously reported taxa, or taxa either not represented by voucher materials or based on insufficient data (including ...
