Money and Banking
(The Saylor Foundation, 2012)The financial crisis of 2007-8 has already revolutionized institutions, markets, and regulation. Wright's Money and Banking V 2.0 captures those revolutionary changes and packages them in a way that engages undergraduates ... -
Morphological adaptation of the calamistrum to the cribellate spinning process in Deinopoidae
(2016)Spiders are famous for their silk with fascinating mechanical properties. However, some can further produce, process and handle nano fibres, which are used as capture threads. These ‘cribellate spiders’ bear a specialized ... -
Morphological and functional changes in the vertebral columnwith increasing aquatic adaptation in crocodylomorphs
(2015)The lineage leading to modern Crocodylia has undergone dramatic evolutionary changes in morphology, ecology and locomotion over the past 200+Myr. These functional innovations may be explained in part by morphological changes ... -
Morphological plasticity in a calcifyingmodular organism
(2015)Understanding is currently limited of the biological processes underlying the responses of modular organisms to climate change and the potential to adapt through morphological plasticity related to their modularity. Here, ... -
Multiple behavioural morphological and cognitive developmental changes arise froma single alteration
(2016)Subtle variations in early rearing environment influence morphological, cognitive and behavioural processes that together impact on adult fitness. We manipulated habitat complexity experienced by young pheasants (Phasianus ... -
Multiple stage decisions in amarine central place forager
(2016)Air-breathing marine animals face a complex set of physical challenges associated with diving that affect the decisions of how to optimize feeding. Baleen whales (Mysticeti) have evolved bulk-filter feeding mechanisms to ... -
Multitasking during social interactions in adolescence and early adulthood
(The Royal Society, 2015)Multitasking is part of the everyday lives of both adolescents and adults. We often multitask during social interactions by simultaneously keeping track of other non-social information. Here, we examined how keeping track ... -

Nearest neighbour clusters as a novel technique for assessing group associations
(2015)When all the individuals in a social group can be easily identified, one of the simplest measures of social interaction that can be recorded is nearest-neighbour identity. Many field studies use sequential scan samples of ... -
The need for speed
(2016)How do animals follow demarcated paths? Different species are sensitive to optic flow and one control solution is to maintain the balance of flow symmetry across visual fields however, it is unclear whether animals are ... -
Nest inundation from sea-level rise threatens sea turtle population viability
(2015)Contemporary sea-level rise will inundate coastal habitats with seawater more frequently, disrupting the life cycles of terrestrial fauna well before permanent habitat loss occurs. Sea turtles are reliant on low-lying ... -
Nest wax triggers worker reproduction in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris
(2016)Social insects are well known for their high level of cooperation. Workers of the primitively eusocial bumblebeeBombus terrestris are able to produce male offspring in the presence of a queen. Nonetheless, they only compete ... -
A new Early Oligocene toothed ‘baleen’ whale from western North America
(2015)Archaic toothed mysticetes represent the evolutionary transition from raptorial to bulk filter feeding in baleen whales. Aetiocetids, in particular, preserve an intermediate morphological stage in which teeth functioned ... -
New evidence on the tool assisted hunting exhibited by chimpanzees
(2015)For anthropologists, meat eating by primates like chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) warrants examination given the emphasis on hunting in human evolutionary history. As referential models, apes provide insight into the evolution ... -
New stopping criteria for iterative root finding
(2014)A set of simple stopping criteria is presented, which improve the efficiency of iterative root finding by terminating the iterations immediately when no further improvement of the roots is possible. The criteria use only ...
