Gaze coordination with strides during walking in the cat
(Wiley, 2019-08-28)Vision plays a crucial role in guiding locomotion in complex environments. However, the coordination between the gaze and stride is not well understood. We investigated this coordination in cats walking on a flat surface ... -
Using Google Health Trends to investigate COVID-19 incidence in Africa
(Public Library of Science, 2022-06-07)The COVID-19 pandemic has caused over 500 million cases and over six million deaths globally. From these numbers, over 12 million cases and over 250 thousand deaths have occurred on the African continent as of May 2022. ... -
Baptism of Fire: Modeling the Effects of Prescribed Fire on Lyme Disease
(Hindawi, 2022-05-31)Recently, tick-borne illnesses have been trending upward and are an increasing source of risk to people’s health in the United States. This is due to range expansion in tick habitats as a result of climate change. Thus, ... -
Population differentiation and structural variation in the Manduca sexta genome across the United States
(Oxford University Press, 2022-02-22)Many species that are extensively studied in the laboratory are less well characterized in their natural habitat, and laboratory strains represent only a small fraction of the variation in a species’ genome. Here we ... -
Molecular Phylogeny Reveals the Past Transoceanic Voyages of Drywood Termites (Isoptera, Kalotermitidae)
(Public Library of Science, 2022-05-03)Termites are major decomposers in terrestrial ecosystems and the second most diverse lineage of social insects. The Kalotermitidae form the second-largest termite family and are distributed across tropical and subtropical ... -
Paleoclimate-induced stress on polar forested ecosystems prior to the Permian–Triassic mass extinction
(Nature Research, 2022-05-24)The end-Permian extinction (EPE) has been considered to be contemporaneous on land and in the oceans. However, re-examined floristic records and new radiometric ages from Gondwana indicate a nuanced terrestrial ecosystem ... -
Cryptic extinction risk in a western Pacific lizard radiation
(Springer, 2022-05-25)Cryptic ecologies, the Wallacean Shortfall of undocumented species’ geographical ranges and the Linnaean Shortfall of undescribed diversity, are all major barriers to conservation assessment. When these factors overlap ... -

A synergistic, global approach to revising the trypanorhynch tapeworm family Rhinoptericolidae (Trypanobatoida)
(PeerJ, 2022-02-11)Since 2010, the trypanorhynch tapeworm family Rhinoptericolidae Carvajal & Campbell, 1975 has housed just two distinctive, monotypic genera (Rhinoptericola Carvajal & Campbell, 1975 and Nataliella Palm, 2010). However, ... -
Sex-specific aging in animals: Perspective and future directions
(Wiley Open Access, 2022-01-23)Sex differences in aging occur in many animal species, and they include sex differences in lifespan, in the onset and progression of age‐associated decline, and in physiological and molecular markers of aging. Sex differences ... -
A CYC–RAD–DIV–DRIF interaction likely pre-dates the origin of floral monosymmetry in Lamiales
(BMC, 2022-01-29)Background An outstanding question in evolutionary biology is how genetic interactions defining novel traits evolve. They may evolve either by de novo assembly of previously non-interacting genes or by en bloc co-option ... -
Acute exposure to sublethal doses of neonicotinoid insecticides increases heat tolerance in honey bees
(Public Library of Science, 2022-02-25)The European honey bee, Apis mellifera L., is the single most valuable managed pollinator in the world. Poor colony health or unusually high colony losses of managed honey bees result from a myriad of stressors, which are ... -
Environmental identification of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi using the LSU rDNA gene region: an expanded database and improved pipeline
(Springer, 2022-01-31)Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF; Glomeromycota) are difficult to culture; therefore, establishing a robust amplicon-based approach to taxa identification is imperative to describe AMF diversity. Further, due to low and ... -
Periodic synchronisation of dengue epidemics in Thailand over the last 5 decades driven by temperature and immunity
(Public Library of Science, 2022-03-18)The spatial distribution of dengue and its vectors (spp. Aedes) may be the widest it has ever been, and projections suggest that climate change may allow the expansion to continue. However, less work has been done to ... -
Venom system variation and the division of labor in the colonial hydrozoan Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus
(Elsevier, 2022-03-04)Cnidarians (jellyfish, hydroids, sea anemones, and corals) possess a unique method for venom production, maintenance, and deployment through a decentralized system composed of different types of venom-filled stinging ... -
