Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2015 Several recent studies in invertebrates as well as vertebrates have demonstrated that neuronal response characteristics of sensory neurons can be profoundly affected by an animal's locomotor activity.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.We describe the functional anatomy of masticatory muscles in nine opossums, finding a generalized anatomical pattern with differences related to skull morphology. Variation in quantitative myological data and estimated bite force was mostly related to size, and the increase in bite force supports dietary diversification associated with size increase ...

Caenorhabditis elegans glia modulate neuronal activity and behavior
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2014 Glial cells of C. elegans can modulate neuronal activity and behavior, which is the focus of this review. Initially, we provide an overview of neuroglial evolution, making a comparison between C. elegans glia and their genealogical counterparts.

Sharpening our understanding of saber‐tooth biomechanics
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Saber‐teeth are a striking example of convergent evolution in vertebrate predators, having evolved multiple times in mammals and their early ancestors. While there is broad consensus that saber‐toothed taxa employed a distinct biting strategy compared to conical‐toothed carnivores, like the lion, the precise mechanics and variability of this ...

Preliminary estimates of mass-loss rates, changes in stable isotope composition, and invertebrate colonisation of evergreen and deciduous leaves in a Waikato, New Zealand, stream. [PDF]
, 1999 Rates of mass loss are important in the choice of tree species used in riparian rehabilitation because leaves that break down fast should contribute to stream food-webs more rapidly than leaves that break down more slowly.

Insects, 2019 Collembola display a variety of feeding habits, and prey on many types of food at different trophic levels in the soil. In most cases, their feeding selections are widely varied. In the interest of the food preferences of E.

China shares fossil treasures with the world
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract China has been a rich source of fossils for nearly a century, beginning with the discovery of so‐called Peking man (Sinanthropus pekinensis), known today as Homo erectus pekinensis in the mid 1920s. The first Chinese dinosaurs were described in 1929, the sauropod Helopus (now Euhelopus) and the ornithopod Tanius, described by the Swedish ...

Watching a memory form—VSD imaging reveals a novel memory mechanism
Communicative & Integrative Biology, 2016 Studies of the mechanisms underlying memory formation have largely focused on the synapse. However, recent evidence suggests that additional, non-synaptic, mechanisms also play important roles in this process.
