Distribution of the invasive ambrosia beetle Anisandrus maiche (Coleoptera, Scolytinae) in Switzerland and first record in Europe of its ambrosia fungus Ambrosiella cleistominuta [PDF]
Alpine EntomologyAmbrosia beetles are highly successful as invaders because they are often transported internationally with wood packaging and other wood products and because their inbreeding mating systems facilitates establishment of invading populations.

Understanding snow hydrological processes through the lens of stable water isotopes
WIREs Water, 2018 Snowfall may have different stable isotopic compositions compared with rainfall, allowing its contribution to potentially be tracked through the hydrological cycle.

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2018 Background HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective for prevention of HIV acquisition, but requires HIV testing at regular intervals. Female sex workers (FSWs) are a priority population for HIV prevention interventions in many settings ...

Soot climate forcing via snow and ice albedos.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2004 Plausible estimates for the effect of soot on snow and ice albedos (1.5% in the Arctic and 3% in Northern Hemisphere land areas) yield a climate forcing of +0.3 W/m(2) in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Megantereon was a widespread saber‐toothed felid from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of the Old World and North America, but its rarity in the fossil record makes it complicated to restore its life appearance. Lack of complete specimens makes it necessary to combine information from fossils of different individuals to reconstruct their facial ...

Commentary: What's so interesting about sabertooths?
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Sabertooth creatures are fascinating to the public and to scientists. This Special Issue on The Anatomy of Sabertooths starts with a discussion of what exactly a sabertooth is, continues with a couple of papers about other animals with extraordinarily long teeth, and then delves into analyses of fossil sabertoothed taxa—some of which are not ...

Large eddy simulation of near-surface boundary layer dynamics over patchy snow
Frontiers in Earth ScienceThe near-surface boundary layer over patchy snow is highly heterogeneous and dynamic. Layers of opposing stability coexist within only a few horizontal meters. Conventional experimental methods to investigate this layer suffer from limitations related to
