A Search for Temporal Atmospheric Variability of Kepler Hot Jupiters
The Astronomical JournalWe perform a systematic search for atmospheric variability in short-period gas-giant planets (hot Jupiters) observed by the Kepler mission, by looking for temporal variability of their secondary eclipse depths.

Bacteria isolated from Bengal cat (Felis catus × Prionailurus bengalensis) anal sac secretions produce volatile compounds potentially associated with animal signaling. [PDF]
, 2019 In social animals, scent secretions and marking behaviors play critical roles in communication, including intraspecific signals, such as identifying individuals and group membership, as well as interspecific signaling.

Individualised niches: an integrative conceptual framework across behaviour, ecology, and evolution
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Individuals differ. While seemingly trivial, this insight has nevertheless led to paradigm shifts, as three key fields of organismal biology have seen marked changes in key concepts over the past few decades. In animal behaviour, it has become increasingly recognised that behavioural differences among individuals can be stable over time and ...

Survey of vector-borne agents in feral cats and first report of Babesia gibsoni in cats on St Kitts, West Indies [PDF]
, 2017 Background: As there is little data on vector-borne diseases of cats in the Caribbean region and even around the world, we tested feral cats from St Kitts by PCR to detect infections with Babesia, Ehrlichia and spotted fever group Rickettsia (SFGR) and

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult

Do Faculae Affect Autocorrelation Rotation Periods in Sun-like Stars?
The Astrophysical JournalRotational periods derived from autocorrelation function (ACF) techniques on stars photometrically similar to the Sun in Kepler data have proven difficult to reliably determine.
