COURSE DESCRIPTION: The course is designed for graduate students in biology wanting to aquire a more detailed working knowledge and appreciation of mammalian diversity in structure, function, ethology, and ecology. Knowledge and skills aquired in this course will be useful to field and laboratory studies in ecology, evolution, animal behavior, biogeography, wildlife management, and related disc...

The species name for the plum used in this study and listed in the title should be Prunus salicina and not Prunus domestica. The correct title is: Carbohydrate-Free Peach (Prunus persica) and Plum (Prunus salicina) Juice Affects Fecal Microbial Ecology in an Obese Animal Model. The correct citation is: Noratto GD, Garcia-Mazcorro JF, Markel M, Martino HS, Minamoto Y, et al. (2014) CarbohydrateF...

The complex, interconnected, and non-contiguous nature of canopy environments present unique cognitive, locomotor, sensory challenges to their animal inhabitants. Animal movement through forest canopies is constrained; unlike most aquatic or aerial habitats, the three-dimensional space a not fully realized available animals within it. Determining how constraints arboreal habitats shape ecology ...

Interspecific trait variation has long served as a conceptual foundation for our understanding of ecological patterns and dynamics. In particular, ecologists recognise the important role that animal behaviour plays in shaping ecological processes. An emerging area of interest in animal behaviour, the study of behavioural syndromes (animal personalities) considers how limited behavioural plastic...
