Climate and biodiversity in the Andean Dry Puna by Bennett Manzano, M

“…Using species distribution models and resource selection functions I showed that mesocarnivores coexist in this low productive ecosystem by selecting key resources at different degrees and scales, including free water, clusters of prey and refuge. The endangered Andean cat <em>Leopardus jacobita</em>, the most specialized, was also the most selective at finer scales and showed the larger spatial overlap with its preferred prey the southern mountain viscacha <em>Lagidium viscacia</em>. …”

A multi-scale, multivariate habitat selection model demonstrates high potential for the reintroduction of the clouded leopard (neofelis nebulosa) to Taiwan by Wang, Y-F, Kaszta, Ż, Cushman, S, Chiang, P-J, Macdonald, D, Hearn, A

“…Taiwan, an historical stronghold of the species, is a candidate for expanding its current range by reintroduction, based on increasing prey abundance and high forest coverage. Such future reintroduction efforts, however, are hampered by the lack of an empirical analysis of clouded leopard habitat potential in the island. …”

The stomatopod dactyl club : a formidable damage-tolerant biological hammer by Weaver, James C., Milliron, Garrett W., Mershon, William J., DiMasi, Elaine, Kisailus, David, Miserez, Ali, Evans-Lutterodt, Kenneth, Herrera, Steven, Gallana, Isaias, Swanson, Brook, Zavattieri, Pablo

“…The dactyl clubs from one species, Odontodactylus scyllarus, exhibit an impressive set of characteristics adapted for surviving high-velocity impacts on the heavily mineralized prey on which they feed. Consisting of a multiphase composite of oriented crystalline hydroxyapatite and amorphous calcium phosphate and carbonate, in conjunction with a highly expanded helicoidal organization of the fibrillar chitinous organic matrix, these structures display several effective lines of defense against catastrophic failure during repetitive high-energy loading events.…”
