Range Modeling and Surveillance of Ornithodoros turicata Ticks: Implications for Detecting African Swine Fever Virus in the United States [PDF]
Ornithodoros turicata collected from a dry ice baited tick trap. ABSTRACT African Swine Fever virus (ASFv) is a re‐emerging global swine disease that, if introduced to the United States, would cause severe economic consequences. The widespread presence of feral hogs in addition to the presence of competent tick vectors, specifically Ornithodoros ...

Strong scale‐dependent relationships between fine‐root function and soil properties uncovered with spatially coupled sampling [PDF]
Summary Substantial fine‐root trait variation is found at fine spatial scales but rarely linked to edaphic variation. We assessed the spatial scales of variation in fine‐root traits and adjacent soils using a spatially coupled, nested sampling scheme along a fertility gradient in a seasonally dry tropical forest tree, Handroanthus ochraceus.

Sourcing and utilization of bodies of the deceased for medical education and research: An examination of West African universities [PDF]
Abstract Bodies of the deceased are important for training healthcare professionals in anatomy education, research, and clinical skills. While body donation programs exist in many countries around the world, few exist in Africa, likely due to strong religious convictions of the public, socioeconomic factors, and other difficulties.

Nest site selection and nesting behavior of the mud turtle Kinosternon scorpiodes (Testudines, Kinosternidae) in Palo Verde National Park, Costa Rica: implications for management [PDF]
Habitat selection is the process whereby individuals preferentially use, or occupy, a non-random set of available habitats. At the same time, nest site selection is defined as the placement of eggs by females at sites differing from random sites within a
