Our ability to understand population spread dynamics is complicated by rapid evolution, which renders simple ecological models insufficient. If dispersal ability evolves, more highly dispersive individuals may arrive at the population edge than less dispersive individuals (spatial sorting), accelerating spread. If individuals at the low-density population ...

Mothers of disabled infants had higher cortisol levels in a free-ranging group of Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata)

Author(s): Turner SE; Fedigan LM; Joyce MM; Matthews HD; Moriarity RJ; Nobuhara H; Nobuhara T; Stewart BM; Shimizu K;

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are hormones released in response to stressors and can provide insight into an organism's physiological well-being. Experiencing chronic challenges to homeostasis is associated with significant deviations from baseline fecal GCs (fGCs) in many species, providing a noninv ...

COVID-19's impact on a community-based physical activity program for adults with moderate-to-severe TBI

Author(s): Quilico EL; Wilkinson S; Bédard E; Duncan LR; Sweet SN; Swaine BR; Colantonio A;

Purpose: Physical activity (PA) is proposed for long-term problems after traumatic brain injury (TBI) with mood, quality of life, and participation. However, COVID-19 mitigation strategies resulted in widespread closures of community-based fitness centres, including one housing a peer-assisted PA program (TBI-Health). The purpose of this ...

The evolution of plasticity at geographic range edges

Author(s): Usui T; Lerner D; Eckert I; Angert AL; Garroway CJ; Hargreaves A; Lancaster LT; Lessard JP; Riva F; Schmidt C; van der Burg K; Marshall KE;
