The presence of black vultures at the calving sites and its effects on cows’ and calves’ behaviour immediately following parturition

Animal, 2013
Black vultures (Coragyps atratus) are often present near calving sites, and under this situation they may play a positive role by removing animal carcasses and afterbirth or a negative role by attacking neonate calves or disturbing cow–calf behaviours ...

Revealing Hidden Raman Signatures Through Attention‐Based Spectral Unmixing

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Weak Raman signatures are recovered from background‐dominated spectra using a transformer‐based, reference‐free spectral unmixing AI framework. Self‐attention reconstructs substrate contribution directly from mixed data, enabling reliable extraction of previously inaccessible vibrational features.

Lagomorph cranial biomechanics and the functional significance of the unique fenestrated rostrum of leporids

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.

Refinement of Biomarker Pentosidine Methodology for use on Aging Birds

Human-Wildlife Interactions, 2017
There is no reliable method for determining age for most species of long-lived birds. Recent success using the skin chemical pentosidine as a biomarker has shown promise as an aging tool for birds.

Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...
