Orientation selectivity in the visual cortex of the nine-banded armadillo.
J Neurophysiol, 2017 Orientation selectivity in primary visual cortex (V1) has been proposed to reflect a canonical computation performed by the neocortical circuitry. Although orientation selectivity has been reported in all mammals examined to date, the degree of selectivity and the functional organization of selectivity vary across mammalian clades.

Camera Trap Design Determines Taxa Detected at Carrion Sites. [PDF]
Ecol EvolIn this study, we demonstrated that camera trap orientation (i.e., horizontal and vertical) at carrion sites differed in their animal community composition and taxa associations. The vertical camera trap orientation was more likely to detect necrophagous invertebrates, while the horizontal orientation was more likely to detect white‐tailed deer.
