Genetic and morphologic variation within and among populations of the black-tailed prairie dog.
(1981)
Genetic variation for seven variable loci and morphometric variability for 17 cranial characters were analyzed for black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) within and between populations in eastern New Mexico. ...
The Story of Colors
(2023-05-12)
In this study, I investigated the evolution of color dimorphism in two bird species, the Western Reef Heron (Egretta gularis) and Dimorphic Egret (Egretta dimorpha), by analyzing their color morphology, geographic ...
The evolution of early tribosphenic mammals
(2011)
The history of paleomammalogy stretches back to the beginning of paleontology as a scientific discipline; though with far less fanfare, early fossil mammals were discovered alongside the iconic dinosaurs that would capture ...
THE CENTRAL PATTERN GENERATORS FOR SWIMMING AND SCRATCHING ARE PARTLY SHARED OR INTERACT AT THE INTERNEURONAL LEVEL IN ADULT TURTLES.
(2014-12)
Distinct rhythmic behaviors involving a common set of motoneurons and muscles can be generated by separate central nervous system networks, a single network, or partly overlapping networks in invertebrates. Less is known ...
Structure and assembly of avian communities associated with black-tailed prairie dog ecosystems.
(2007)
It is clear that even in their current remnant state, black-tailed prairie dogs continue to play a significant role in the assembly of ecological communities across the Great Plains. Conservation of prairie dogs goes well ...
A multiscale analysis of nest-site choice, nest success, and population abundance in the scissor-tailed flycatcher (Tyrannus forficatus).
(2000)
I used BBS data and habitat maps to examine associations of landscape structure and composition with the relative mean abundance of the scissor-tailed flycatcher. Routes were scattered over most of the breeding range. ...
The evolution of early tribosphenic mammals

The history of paleomammalogy stretches back to the beginning of paleontology as a scientific discipline; though with far less fanfare, early fossil mammals were discovered alongside the iconic dinosaurs that would capture ...
Systematics and evolution of mountain dragons of the genus Diploderma and herpetofauna pet trades of China
(2021-12-17)
To better study and conserve the biodiversity around us, one must have an accurate understanding of their taxonomy. Problematic taxonomy or lack of taxonomic knowledge not only mask signals of unique evolutionary stories, ...
Functional morphology and diet of Late Cretaceous mammals of North America.
(2003)
Principal components analysis of tooth morphology and diet in modern mammals indicates that gross morphological differences in tooth shape can be detected within groups, as well as among groups. Tooth morphology separated ...
Cambrian [Marjuman] trilobites (Arthropoda) of the Cow Head, western Newfoundland.
(2005)
Conglomerates consisting of shelf-derived limestone boulders in debris flows form the fossiliferous strata of the Cow Head Group on the west coast of Newfoundland. These conglomerates have yielded in excess of 20,000 ...
