Cosmovision as Cognitive Technology: The Case of Mesoamerican Medicinal Knowledge
Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.Abstract We examine the use of cognitive technologies in the acquisition and retention of botanical and medicinal knowledge. We focus on the Cruz‐Badianus codex, a 16th‐century Nahua (Aztec) herbarium which discusses the use of plants for a range of illnesses.

The Earliest Ursine Bear Demonstrates the Origin of Plant-Dominated Omnivory in Carnivora
iScience, 2020 Summary: In Carnivora, increases in body size often lead to dietary specialization toward hypercarnivory. Ursine bears (Tremarctos and Ursus), however, are the only omnivorous Carnivora that evolved large body sizes (i.e., >50 kg). Traits contributing to

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract We measured the BASAL breathing frequency following an overnight fast in adult, non‐pregnant/non‐lactating, inactive mammals ranging in body mass from 15 to 5520 kg. The data included results from 338 individual animals from 34 species that were divided into terrestrial, semi‐aquatic (Otariidae and Phocidae) and aquatic mammals.

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract The common hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) shares a common terrestrial ancestor with whales (Cetacea) and has independently evolved similar physiological adaptations to their aquatic lifestyle. Although several studies have explored the electrical signalling in whale hearts, the understanding of the conduction system and electrical ...

Covariation in the Craniocervical Junction of Carnivora
Journal of MorphologyABSTRACTThe craniocervical junction is the transition between the skull and the vertebral column that provides mobility while maintaining sufficient stability (i.e., protection of the brainstem and the spinal cord). The key elements involved are the occiput, the first cervical vertebra (CV1, atlas) and the second cervical vertebra (CV2, axis).

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 7, July 2025.Montane red foxes (Vulpes vulpes ssp.) native to western North America are of broad conservation interest, but their ecology is poorly understood due to their rarity. We examined the diet of the Sierra Nevada red fox (V. v. necator) in an unstudied portion of their range in Oregon, USA, then evaluated dietary overlap between red fox and coyote (Canis ...

Modelling Species Distribution at the Boundaries of the Earth's Climate
Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 7, July 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Correlative species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used to project species' responses to global changes. The climatic niche of a species is calibrated under current climate conditions and then projected in space and/or time, making model extrapolation an important concern. This issue is particularly relevant when considering species
