Mice modelling atherosclerosis show neurovascular breakdown in the cortex compared to healthy controls, and inducing atherosclerosis in mice modelling Alzheimer's disease increases the number of amyloid plaques in the hippocampus.
Wind and ocean wave conditions experienced by albatrosses were estimated using an animal-borne recorder and revealed that take-off was easier under higher wave conditions.
Even moderate winds cause auks to abort landing attempts at nest-sites, and as a result, wind characteristics may affect where these, and other seabirds, choose to breed.
Visualization methods display the dynamics of the currents in conductance-based model neurons, and show how their contribution changes in response to perturbation.

Reconstruction of great auk population dynamics suggests that hunting pressure alone could have been responsible for their extinction, demonstrating that even abundant, widespread species can be vulnerable to intense exploitation.

Application of museomics facilitates characterization of the contribution of historical factors to genetic diversity declines in Numenius shorebirds and highlights that extinction of ecosystem-engineering megafauna may have been detrimental for open-landscape species.
