Weathering the storm: Most maternal and environmental drivers of individual reproductive success do not scale up to population recruitment in a large herbivore

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using 18 years of data on eastern grey kangaroos, we show that drivers of individual reproductive success often do not scale up to population recruitment. Birth asynchrony could buffer population recruitment against environmental variability, such that variables affecting individual reproduction have little impact at the population level.

Host‐mediated filtering and interspecific associations structure strongyle parasite communities in Sable Island horses

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using individual‐level nemabiome metabarcoding of 3147 samples from 916 horses on Sable Island over 10 years, we generate the largest dataset of its kind to date. This unprecedented scale enables a rare test of the processes structuring parasite communities in a natural system, revealing dominant host‐mediated filtering and predominantly positive ...

Burned habitats facilitate predation and lead to long‐term reductions in prey success

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
By evaluating the effects of burned habitats on the habitat selection and movement responses of cougars and mule deer, cougar kill sites, and mule deer reproduction, the authors find that increasingly large, severe burns are diminishing herbivore reproductive success, potentially due to advantages for predators created by burned landscapes.

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Gastrointestinal nematode species burdens and host mortality in a feral sheep population [PDF]

, 2006
Every few years a large proportion of the feral sheep on Hirta, St Kilda die due to food shortage. The effects of malnutrition are exacerbated by gastrointestinal nematodes. As found in sheep flocks in mainland Britain, Teladorsagia circumcincta has long

From Nouns and Adjectives to Verbs: Base Effects on the Grammatical Behaviour of Denominal Verbs in Ancient Greek1

Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates the role of semantic features of noun and adjective bases in determining the grammatical behaviour of Ancient Greek denominal and deadjectival verbs in *‐ye/o‐. The paper adopts a lexicalist framework (Rappaport Hovav & Levin 1998) and examines how the event schema, actionality, telicity and voice of derived verbs are ...

mRNA transcription and protein expression of PPARγ, FAS, and HSL in different parts of the carcass between fat-tailed and thin-tailed sheep

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2015
Background: The objective of this study was to compare the level differences of mRNA transcription and protein expression of PPARγ, FAS and HSL in different parts of the carcass in different tail-type sheep. Six Tan sheep and six Shaanbei fine-wool sheep

Thermal persistence and physicochemical modification of inorganic gunshot residue (IGSR)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract In the medicolegal context, GSR analysis plays a key role in clarifying the dynamics of firearm‐related deaths, including lesion identification and firing distance determination. However, postmortem alterations of the body, such as thermal exposure, may influence the analysis of lesions and complicate interpretation.
