The aim of this study was to investigate how landscape disturbance associated with roads, agriculture and forestry influenced temporal patterns in woylie (Bettongia penicillata) abundance before,...
View ArticleData from: Reproduction does not adversely affect liver mitochondrial...
Reproduction is thought to come at a cost to longevity. Based on the assumption that increased energy expenditure during reproduction is associated with increased free-radical production by...
View ArticleData from: IgM-enriched immunoglobulin attenuates systemic endotoxin activity...
Introduction: Sepsis remains associated with a high mortality rate. Endotoxin has been shown to influence viscoelastic coagulation parameters, thus suggesting a link between endotoxin levels and the...

Objectives: To evaluate the ability of an alignment jig/saw guide to reproduce appropriate osteotomy positions in the tibial plateau leveling osteotomy (TPLO) in the dog. Methods: Lateral radiographs...
View ArticleData from: Social behaviours and networks of vervet monkeys are influenced by...
Substantial research has shown that while some parasite infections can be fatal to hosts, most infections are sub-clinical and non-lethal. Such sub-clinical infections can nonetheless have negative...

Objective: To optimize enhancement of pulmonary arteries and facilitate diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE), modern computed tomography angiography (CTA) contains a contrast bolus tracking system. We...
View ArticleData from: Effect of mild thyrotoxicosis on performance and brain activations...
Aims: Disturbed levels of thyroid hormones are associated with neuropsychiatric disorders, including memory impairments. The aim of this study was to evaluate effects of mild induced thyrotoxicosis on...
View ArticleData from: Re-evaluating the geological evidence for Late Holocene marine...
Despite the large number of tsunamis that impact Mexico's Pacific coast, stratigraphic studies focusing on geological impacts are scanty, making it difficult to assess the long-term risks for this...
View ArticleData from: Hybrid dysfunction expressed as elevated metabolic rate in male...
Studies of ecological speciation are often biased towards extrinsic sources of selection against hybrids, resulting from intermediate hybrid morphology, but the knowledge of how genetic...
View ArticleData from: Continental-scale patterns reveal potential for warming-induced...
In North America, it has been shown that cattle in warmer, drier grasslands have lower quality diets than those cattle grazing cooler, wetter grasslands, which suggests warming will increase...
View ArticleData from: Resources for phylogenomic analyses of Australian terrestrial...
High throughput sequencing methods promise to improve our ability to infer the evolutionary histories of lineages and to delimit species. These are exciting prospects for the study of Australian...

Aerobic respiration is a fundamental physiological trait dependent on coordinated interactions between gene products of the mitochondrial and nuclear genomes. Mitonuclear mismatch in interspecific...
View ArticleData from: Inbreeding avoidance and female mate choice shape reproductive...
Reproductive skew in multi-male groups may be determined by the need for alpha males to offer reproductive opportunities as staying incentives to subordinate males (concessions), by the relative...
View ArticleData from: Quantification of the zygotic barrier between interbreeding taxa...
Hybridization and introgression via interspecific gene flow are common processes in the plant kingdom. The effectiveness of these processes is governed by the strengths of multiple zygotic barriers....
