Skinned fibres produce the same power and force as intact fibre bundles from muscle of wild rabbits (2015)
Journal Article
Curtin, N. A., Diack, R. A., West, T. G., Wilson, A. M., & Woledge, R. C. (2015). Skinned fibres produce the same power and force as intact fibre bundles from muscle of wild rabbits. Journal of Experimental Biology, 218, 2856-2863. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.121897

Skinned fibres have advantages for comparing the muscle properties of different animal species because they can be prepared from a needle biopsy taken under field conditions. However, it is not clear how well the contractile properties of skinned fib... Read More about Skinned fibres produce the same power and force as intact fibre bundles from muscle of wild rabbits.

Lessons from integrating behaviour and resource selection: activity-specific responses of African wild dogs to roads (2015)
Journal Article
Abrahms, B., Jordan, N. R., Golabek, K. A., McNutt, J. W., Wilson, A. M., & Brashares, J. S. (2015). Lessons from integrating behaviour and resource selection: activity-specific responses of African wild dogs to roads. Animal Conservation, 19, 247-255. https://doi.org/10.1111/acv.12235

Understanding how anthropogenic features affect species' abilities to move within landscapes is essential to conservation planning and requires accurate assessment of resource selection for movement by focal species. Yet, the extent to which an indiv... Read More about Lessons from integrating behaviour and resource selection: activity-specific responses of African wild dogs to roads.

Matching times of leading and following suggest cooperation through direct reciprocity during V-formation flight in ibis (2015)
Journal Article
Voelkl, B., Portugal, S. J., Unsoeld, M., Usherwood, J. R., Wilson, A. M., & Fritz, J. (2015). Matching times of leading and following suggest cooperation through direct reciprocity during V-formation flight in ibis. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1413589112

One conspicuous feature of several larger bird species is their annual migration in V-shaped or echelon formation. When birds are flying in these formations, energy savings can be achieved by using the aerodynamic up-wash produced by the preceding bi...
