Atlantic mammal traits: a dataset of morphological traits of mammals in the atlantic forest of south America [PDF]
Measures of traits are the basis of functional biological diversity. Numerous works consider mean species-level measures of traits while ignoring individual variance within species.

A 50‐year perspective on the use and potential of artiodactyl calcanei in bone adaptation studies
ABSTRACT Sheep and deer calcanei are important models for studying cortical (compact) and trabecular (cancellous) bone adaptation because they are amenable to direct strain measurement (due to lack of surrounding muscles), experience relatively simple/unidirectional bending, exhibit osteon remodelling, and have the most pronounced regional variations ...

Illness perceptions of leprosy-cured individuals in Surinam with residual disfigurements – “I am cured, but still I am ill” [PDF]
Objective Leprosy has rarely been the subject of health psychology research despite its substantial impact. Our aim was to explore illness perceptions in patients and their health care providers in Surinam.

Abstract Anthropogenic noise (anthrophony) can have significant negative effects on wildlife, causing both physiological (i.e., increased stress hormone production) and behavioral (i.e., altered anti‐predator behaviors, space use, or diel activity) changes in individuals.
