Non-avian saurischian skulls underwent at least 165 million years of evolution and shapes varied from elongated skulls, such as in the theropod Coelophysis, to short and box-shaped skulls, such as in the sauropod Camarasaurus.A number of factors have long been considered to drive skull shape, including phylogeny, dietary preferences and functional
Summary: Humans often move in the ZINC presence of mechanical disturbances that can vary in direction and amplitude throughout movement.These disturbances can jeopardize the outcomes of our actions, such as when drinking from a glass of water on a turbulent flight or carrying a cup of coffee while walking on a busy sidewalk.Here, we examine control
BACKGROUND:Ecological release is coupled with adaptive radiation and ecological diversification yet little is known about the molecular basis of phenotypic changes associated with this phenomenon.The venomous, predatory marine gastropod Conus miliaris has undergone ecological release and exhibits increased dietary breadth at Easter Island.METHODOLO
Grasshopper population dynamics are an important part of the North American rangeland ecosystem and an important factor in the economies that derive from the rangeland.Outbreak dynamics have plagued management strategies in the rangeland, and attempts to find simple, linear and mechanistic solutions to both understanding and predicting the dynamics
African forest elephants face severe threats from illegal killing for ivory and bushmeat and habitat conversion.Due to their cryptic nature and inaccessible range, little information on the biology of this species has been collected despite its iconic status.Compiling individual based monitoring data collected over 20 years from the Dzanga Bai popu
