Coyote (Canis latrans) Macronutrient Consumption and Diet Relative to Seasonality and Urbanization
Using the geometric framework of nutrition, we assessed the macronutrient composition of coyote diets seasonally and relative to urbanization via scats collected in the Phoenix Metropolitan Area, AZ, USA. We found coyotes ate more nonprotein energy relative to protein energy when seasonally or environmentally available.

Abstract Provoked by a lack of appropriate political action on the global climate and biodiversity crisis, we present a perspective advocating and demonstrating a new plurality in scientific communication methods. Science writing, in being objective and dispassionate, actively seeks to mask empathetic connection and hides curiosities that may exist ...

Plant Responses to Anomalous Heat and Drought Events in the Sonoran Desert
What are the impacts of region‐wide heat and drought events on desert vegetation? This multi‐scale assessment shows that columnar cacti and succulent trees show acute plant stress across the Sonoran Desert. The expected increased frequency of heat and drought events will likely have landscape‐wide impacts that could fundamentally reshape populations of

A newly expanded UCE phylogeny of Dorymyrmex robustly confirms the major lineages and recommends a new scheme of four major species groups. The asymmetrical, amphitropical distribution of Dorymyrmex was likely created by a single dispersal event across the Isthmus of Panama before the traditional closure date of 3 Mya.

Effect of Larrea tridentata (creosote bush) on cholesterol gallstones and bile secretion in hamsters
Abstract Larrea tridentata (Sesse and Moc. ex DC.) Coville is used for the treatment of gallstones in traditional Mexican medicine. The possible prevention or elimination of gallstones by ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the leaves and twigs of L. tridentata was tested in hamsters fed a rich carbohydrate, fat-free diet. In addition, the

Climate and Dispersal Ability Limit Future Habitats for Gila Monsters in the Mojave Desert
We assessed how suitable habitat for Gila monsters will change under climate change scenarios, limiting future habitat to areas that Gila monsters can potentially disperse to. We find that without this limitation, future Gila monster habitat will be overestimated.
