Ontogeny of the malleus in Mesocricetus auratus (Mammalia, Rodentia): Systematic and functional implications for the muroid middle ear. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...

Herbivory Dominates the Spring Diet of American Black Bears (<i>Ursus americanus</i>) in a Wood Bison (<i>Bison bison athabascae</i>) Neonatal Range, Suggesting Minimal Bison Consumption. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we used scat analysis and DNA metabarcoding to analyze the spring diet of black bears in the neonatal range of a small, threatened wood bison herd in northeast Alberta to assess predation risk of neonate bison. Our results suggest that consumption rates of bison are low and that predation risk to neonate wood bison, during the RLBH's ...
