Buried Treasure? Overlooked and Newly Discovered Evolutionary Contributions to Human Brain Diseases

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Recapitulative schema of different exploratory levels of the evolutionary impact on human neurological diseases. Clinical neuroscience focuses on the mechanisms of brain function, but this approach falls short of insights into how the central nervous system (CNS) evolved, both in health and disease.

Perspective on Interdisciplinary Approaches on Chemotaxis

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Chemotaxis is the movement of individual organisms towards or away from a chemical stimulus. This phenomenon is investigated in various disciplines, ranging from biology to physics and even engineering. This perspective aims to summarise recent developments in the field and encourage the unification of terminology to promote interdisciplinary knowledge

Hunting in bioluminescent light: Vision in the nocturnal box jellyfish Copula sivickisi

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2016
Cubomedusae all have a similar set of six eyes on each of their four rhopalia. Still, there is a great variation in activity patterns with some species being strictly day active while others are strictly night active.

DNA metabarcoding reveals greater plant diversity than morphological seed analysis of bird feces

open access: yesApplications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Fruit‐eating birds drive seed dispersal in recovering tropical ecosystems, shaping forest regeneration. Molecular techniques, such as DNA metabarcoding, enable diet analysis from feces and can provide complementary frugivory data where dispersal is infrequent, as well as aid in seed identification in hyper‐diverse regions lacking ...

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Energetics of foraging

open access: yes
International audience ; For small insects, such as honey bees, foraging represents an incredibly costly behavior. Large amounts of energy are required to keep body temperature warm, to lift body weight and fly across long distances toward food resources, to carry heavy nectar, pollen, water or resin loads, and to maintain a functioning brain for ...

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Influences on the use of gravel roads as night roosts by Common Nighthawks in the boreal forest

open access: yesAvian Conservation and Ecology
Common Nighthawks ( Chordeiles minor ), like other nightjars, often sit on gravel roads at night where they are at risk of being struck by passing traffic, but neither the reasons behind their use of roads nor the frequency of traffic strikes are fully ...
