Common sense about taste: from mammals to insects.

14 Oct 2009 The sense of taste is a specialized chemosensory system dedicated to the evaluation of food and drink. Despite the fact that vertebrates and insects have independently evolved distinct anatomic and molecular pathways for taste sensation, there are ... Read more...

The mammalian yolk sac placenta.

13 Sep 2009 There are three fetal membranes in mammals, namely the yolk sac, allantois and amnion, but only the first two form a placenta. In Monotremata (monotremes), Marsupialia (marsupials) and Placentalia (eutherians), the yolk sac transfers nutrients ... Read more...

Quaternary climate change and the geographic ranges of mammals.

30 Aug 2009 A species' range can be a proxy for its ecological well-being. Species with small and shrinking range distributions are particularly vulnerable to extinction. Future climate change scenarios are predicted to affect species' geographical extents, but ... Read more...
