Habitat Features, Coyotes, and Humans Drive Diel Activity Variation Among Sympatric Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We found that multiple mammal species show considerable variation in diel activity in response to several factors, with biotic variables (habitat features and the presence of coyotes Canis latrans) having the strongest overall effects. Our results have important implications for trophic dynamics. Future studies will need to account for these underlying

Understanding past population dynamics: Bayesian coalescent-based modeling with covariates [PDF]
, 2016 Effective population size characterizes the genetic variability in a population and is a parameter of paramount importance in population genetics. Kingman's coalescent process enables inference of past population dynamics directly from molecular sequence

Anticoagulant Rodenticides Contribute to a Decline in an Urban Carnivore
Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Anticoagulant rodenticides (ARs) have been shown to negatively affect carnivores globally and are closely tied to human activity and development. We examined drivers of annual survival in bobcats persisting on a residentially developed barrier island over 16 years.

Camera trap arrays improve detection probability of wildlife: Investigating study design considerations using an empirical dataset. [PDF]
, 2017 Camera trapping is a standard tool in ecological research and wildlife conservation. Study designs, particularly for small-bodied or cryptic wildlife species often attempt to boost low detection probabilities by using non-random camera placement or ...

Biometric Analysis of Giant and Large Murid Remains From Matja Kuru 2, Timor‐Leste
Archaeometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Published research on Matja Kuru 2 (MK2) demonstrates its significance for understanding human lifestyle during the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene. Murids represent the most commonly identified taxa in the site, with specimens preliminarily classified as small, large and giant based on size comparisons.

Dogs Never Gets Prion Diseases. The Entropic Landscape Analysis of Prion Proteins Answers Why. [PDF]
, 2009 The Entropic Landscape Analysis was applied to the prion protein sequences of various mammals in order to detect potential sites of variants that would be responsible for the susceptibility of prion disease infection.

Immunology, EarlyView.Eight percent of this cohort of patients had a latent Neoehrlichia mikurensis infection. It was only the latently infected patients who had N. mikurensis‐specific T cells, not the matched B‐cell lymphoma patients without the infection. The T‐cell responses of latently infected patients included perforin‐expressing Th1 and CD8+ T cells that upregulated ...
