Aversive responses of white-tailed deer,Odocoileus virginianus, to predator urines.
TL;DR: Urine from bobcats and coyotes significantly reduced browsing of Japanese yews, and repellency was enhanced when urine was reapplied weekly as a topical spray, suggesting deer do not respond aversively to odors of nonpredatory mammals or occasional predators with which they lack a long evolutionary association.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pleistocene Human Settlement in the Southeastern United States: Current Evidence and Future Directions
TL;DR: A pattern of large-scale excavations combined with the reporting of surface finds was initiated by the 1930s and has continued to this day as discussed by the authors, with the exception of the work at Macon Plateau and Parrish Village.

Per Christiansen,John M. Harris +1 more
TL;DR: The body masses of the three large saber‐toothed machairodontines, Smilodon gracilis, S. fatalis, and S. populator, were estimated on the basis of 36 osteological variables from the appendicular skeleton of extant felids using a new model that takes the reliability of the predictor equations into account.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cystic echinococcosis in the Arctic and Sub-Arctic.
TL;DR: The northern biotype of Echinococcus granulosus occurs throughout the holarctic zones of tundra and taiga, from eastern Fennoscandia to the Bering Strait in Eurasia and in North America from arctic Alaska approximately to the northern border of the United States.

Trends in the paleodietary habits of fossil camels from the Tertiary and Quaternary of North America
Gina M. Semprebon,Florent Rivals +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the dietary adaptations of both Tertiary and Quaternary representatives of North American Camelidae through deep evolutionary time (via hypsodonty index), though ecological time via mesowear analysis, and through the last few days of life (via microwear) by examining molar teeth.
