Many plant species worldwide are struggling to regenerate due to the ongoing effects of climate change. These effects appear to be further exacerbated by the loss of keystone megafauna, which were important seed dispersers. By identifying the traits commonly seen in seeds spread by modern elephants, it is possible to predict which species likely ...

Spatial behavior of socially isolated wild pigs (Sus scrofa) following sounder removal via trapping
Following partial sounder removal, socially isolated wild pigs maintained site fidelity near traps, highlighting post‐control behavioral tendencies that are relevant to pest management and disease mitigation. Abstract BACKGROUND The rapid expansion of wild pig (Sus scrofa) populations across North America, coupled with increased concern over disease ...

Body Composition and Muscle Function in Bronchiectasis: A Comparative Longitudinal Study
We compared body composition and muscle function in adults with bronchiectasis versus controls and assessed if leg strength estimates 1‐year outcomes. Patients with bronchiectasis had lower muscle mass, bone density, and leg strength. Reduced leg strength is associated with worse dyspnoea, quality of life, and functional capacity, highlighting the need

Bat Tongues and Foraging: Linking Morphology to Hunting Strategies
We linked the bat tongue's mediodorsal lobe (MDL), a muscular prominence, to foraging strategies. Aerial hawkers exhibit tall MDLs and prominent forward‐pointing papillae. The MDL may function as a barrier or filter, preventing unintentional ingestion of non‐food material, aiding in prey handling, and controlling food access during fast flight ...
