Multi‐method analysis for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of muscle fascicles from DiceCT datasets

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Muscle architecture is a major determinant of muscle performance and, in mammalian lineages, has been correlated with both feeding ecology and locomotor behaviors. Over the past decade, contrast‐enhanced micro‐CT (DiceCT) has emerged as an alternative to traditional dissection‐based measurement.

Post-fledging Dependent Behaviour, Dispersion and Migration of Young Eastern Imperial Eagles from Slovakia as Revealed by Satellite Telemetry

open access: yesПернатые хищники и их охрана, 2018
In 2005, five nestling Imperial Eagles (Aquila heliaca) were fitted with battery-powered GPS Satellite Transmitters (PTTs) in Slovakia to study their behaviour after fledging, two of them in the east and the other three in the west of the country.

Understanding the spacing of placodes in the eye: A comparative study across age and species

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The conjunctival placodes of the avian eye form in an intriguing and conserved sequence in a circular annulus around the cornea. These 13–16 placodes develop into papillae that are essential for inducing underlying intramembranous flat bones, known as scleral ossicles, which form an important part of the ocular skeleton.

Repeated large scale loop migrations of an adult European Honey Buzzard

open access: yesAvocetta, 2019
During migration, birds adopt flight strategies that often differ between spring and autumn. This behaviour can lead to differences in migratory paths as well as in-flight performances between seasons and may help to explain seasonal differences in the ...

Has the Australian Endemic Grey Falcon the Most Extreme Dietary Specialization among all Falco Species?

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
A clear understanding of a species’ diet is crucial in understanding its spatio-temporal dynamics, and is, therefore, pertinent to conservation considerations.

Model‐informed drug development to support nemolizumab clinical development in adults and adolescents with moderate to severe atopic dermatitis

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Population pharmacokinetic (popPK) and pharmacokinetic‐pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) models were developed to support clinical development of nemolizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the IL‐31 receptor α, in adolescents and adults with moderate‐to‐severe atopic dermatitis (AD).

Critically assessing the utility of portable lead analyzers for wildlife conservation

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2018
Lead (Pb) exposure in wildlife is a widespread management and conservation concern. Quantitative determination of Pb concentrations in wildlife tissues is the foundation for estimating exposure and risk.

Disentangling relationships between physiology, morphology, diet, and gut microbial diversity in American kestrel nestlings

open access: yesJournal of Avian Biology, 2023
Gut microbiota are increasingly recognized as important drivers of host health and fitness across vertebrate taxa. Given that gut microbial composition is directly influenced by the environment, gut microbiota may also serve as an eco‐physiological ...

The Case of the Missing Green Iguana Predators: Reviews of Ecological Literature Should Go Beyond Google Scholar

open access: yesThe Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowing about species interactions is essential for ecological research, conservation efforts, resource management, and maintaining healthy ecosystems, but many of these, such as reports of predation, may not always be published in easily located resources—if they are published at all.
