Marine iguanas have lower metabolic rates during El Niño
ABSTRACTThe Galápagos marine iguana (Amblyrhynchus cristatus), the world's only marine lizard, feeds predominantly on algae. Owing to warming waters and reduced upwelling, algal abundance is reduced during El Niño events, causing high iguana morta...

Falcons can use olfaction to detect food in a test setting
ABSTRACTFalcons, along with many other raptors, have long been considered to have little or no olfactory sense. A controlled experiment in which peregrine falcons, Falco peregrinus peregrinus, and peregrine falcon/gyrfalcon hybrids F. peregrinus×r...

Comparison of ankle dorsiflexion using XROMM and external angular kinematics in a quadrupedally walking macaque
ABSTRACTMovement at complex joints, such as the ankle, can be challenging to quantify from external kinematics alone. We compared X-ray reconstruction of moving morphology (XROMM) and angles derived from high-speed video footage to study dorsiflex...

The energetics and mechanics of trunk angle during flat and inclined walking in humans
ABSTRACTDuring flat walking, the trunk typically maintains an upright posture. However, when walking up slopes, humans tend to increase trunk flexion. This behaviour is not easily understood as increasing trunk flexion increases the torque require...

Sex shapes the systemic response to light-induced sleep disruption in Drosophila melanogaster
ABSTRACTLight is the fundamental Zeitgeber aligning sleep and circadian physiology. Here, we rigorously challenged this system by exposing male and female Drosophila melanogaster to constant light or fragmented photoperiods, modeling chronic circa...
