Remodeling of skeletal muscle myosin metabolic states in hibernating mammals

eLife
Hibernation is a period of metabolic suppression utilized by many small and large mammal species to survive during winter periods. As the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood, our study aimed to determine whether ...

Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

Moose indifferent to canopy loss from forest disturbance by bark beetles

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
Moose showed strikingly similar patterns of habitat selection before and after widespread forest disturbance following an infestation of bark beetles. Our findings indicate that beetle‐kill does not appreciably alter habitat quality for moose and highlight the importance of riparian areas in sustaining moose as they contend with changing forests ...

Wildlife, fire, and forestry: Understanding the spatial and temporal relationships between caribou habitat and disturbance

Global Ecology and Conservation
Across the boreal forest, timber harvesting and wildfire convert mature forests to early seral stands resulting in habitat loss for specialists like woodland caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) and habitat gain for generalists like moose (Alces ...

Implantation of subcutaneous heart rate data loggers in southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) [PDF]

, 2017
Unlike most phocid species (Phocidae), Mirounga leonina (southern elephant seals) experience a catastrophic moult where they not only replace their hair but also their epidermis when ashore for approximately 1 month.
