The Charge Transfer Efficiency and Calibration of WFPC2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
A new determination of WFPC2 photometric corrections is presented, using HSTphot reduction of the WFPC2 Omega Centauri and NGC 2419 observations from January 1994 through March 2000 and a comparison with ground-based photometry.

Approaching Scarless Wound Healing: From Passive Anti‐Fibrotic to Proactive and Programmable Pro‐Regenerative Strategies

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This review outlines the wound healing process and factors influencing scar formation, explores how certain animals and human fetuses achieve scarless skin or tissue regeneration, and details tissue engineering material strategies employed in scarless wound dressings.

Site-Specific Assessments of the Abundance of Three Inshore Dolphin Species to Inform Conservation and Management

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Assessing the abundance of wildlife populations is essential to their effective conservation and management. Concerns have been raised over the vulnerability of tropical inshore dolphins in waters off northern Australia to anthropogenic impacts on local ...

Genome sequence of a gammaherpesvirus from a common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A herpesvirus genome was sequenced directly from a biopsy specimen of a rectal lesion from a female common bottlenose dolphin. This genome sequence comprises a unique region (161,235 bp) flanked by multiple copies of a terminal repeat (4,431 bp) and ...

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Poor pulmonary health in Barataria Bay dolphins in the eight years following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) disaster resulted in large-scale contamination of bays, sounds, and estuaries in the northern Gulf of Mexico, home to multiple stocks of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus).

The Star Formation Histories of Two Northern LMC Fields

open access: yes, 1999
Ground-based UBV photometry of two fields in the northern disk of the LMC are presented. A distance modulus of (m-M)_0 = 18.41 +/- 0.04 and an extinction of A_V = 0.30 +/- 0.05 has been calculated for these fields.

Intraspecific variation of cochlear morphology in bowhead and beluga whales

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The bony labyrinth of the petrosal bone, a distinctive feature of mammal skulls, is often identified in micro‐computed tomography imaging to infer species' physiological and ecological traits. When done as part of a comparative study, one individual specimen is normally considered representative of a species, and intraspecific variation is ...

Efficient coding in dolphin surface behavioral patterns [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We show that the law of brevity, i.e. the tendency of words to shorten as their frequency increases, is also found in dolphin surface behavioral patterns. As far as we know, this is the first evidence of the law in another species, suggesting that coding
