Host-Driven Genetic Diversity of <i>Leptospira</i> in the Americas: A Continental Perspective. [PDF]
Leptospira is a genetically diverse genus of spirochetes comprising over 68 species, including several pathogenic taxa such as L. interrogans, L. santarosai, L. noguchii, and L. weilii. These bacteria infect a wide range of vertebrates, especially mammals, with infected animals serving as renal carriers that excrete the pathogen through urine.

iNaturalist and Structured Mammal Surveys Reflect Similar Species Richness but Capture Different Species Pools Across the United States. [PDF]
iNaturalist data is widely used in ecology, but is known to contain spatial and taxa‐specific biases. We compared species richness and species pools using data from iNaturalist and structured surveys (i.e., camera traps and acoustic bat surveys) across the United States. We found that iNaturalist and structured surveys generally report similar richness,

A suture in time: The ontogeny of cranial suture morphology in mammals. [PDF]
Mammal cranial sutures are important indicators of the biomechanical and developmental pressures acting upon the skull. Across three prominent sutures dividing the vault of the mammalian skull, divergent patterns emerge both taxonomically and developmentally.
