Caught in the Headlights: Revising the Road Kill Hypothesis of Antebellum Illinois Bank Failures
Illinois had a dismal free banking experience, with over 80% of its free banks failing by the start of the Civil War. Researchers agree that a dramatic change in bond prices was the catalyst, and some have shown that the riskiest banks, ex ante, were the

Relationships Among MHC Diversity, Parasites and Secondary Sexual Colouration
ABSTRACT Sexual selection via honest (costly) signals of fitness can generate patterns in immunogenetic diversity at the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). MHC diversity explains variation in immunocompetence—and therefore fitness—thus impacting the ability to generate honest signals.

The Utility of Angular Velocity During Back Squat to Predict 1RM and Load–Velocity Profiling
Linear velocity is commonly used to estimate 1-repetition maximum (1RM) from a load–velocity profile (LVP), as well as prescribe training intensity. However, no study has assessed angular velocity, which may be more representative of joint motion.

Abstract Premise The soil depth of underground storage organs (USOs) of geophytes involves cost–benefit trade‐offs and may relate to USO age, size, and disturbances such as fire and herbivory. Yet determinants of USO depth are poorly studied. We posit that belowground mammalian predation of USOs is a selective force for the positive relationship ...

Chacma baboons exhibited context‐dependent flight and vigilance behavior in response to experimental predator vocalizations in Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park. Reactions were strongest in juveniles and in individuals with fewer otherbaboons in frame and in response to leopard and wild dog cues, and weakened with increased exposure to predators ...

Background: Sex-related differences in SARS-CoV-2 viral susceptibility, severity, and recovery are prevalent. Factors such as age and biological variation provide some explanation for immune response, yet the use of biological sex as a variable may limit

Abundance and population growth estimates for bare‐nosed wombats
Wildlife managers often rely on population estimates, but estimates can be challenging to obtain for geographically widespread species. Spotlight surveys provide abundance data for many species and, when conducted over wide spatial scales, have potential
