In Utah, Trump resurfaced a decades-long dispute over how to protect some of the country’s crown jewels.

We observed a range of behaviours during foraging, including forward swimming, vertical diving, swooping, dabbing, sweeping and rotations. Head dabbing was also sometimes accompanied by the seal prod...

Studying the whiskers of the semi-aquatic Eurasian Otter (Lutra lutra) has revealed interesting adaptations similar to what we have previously observed in

Ten key lessons for designing, running and sustaining long-term mammal monitoring programs, distilled from 30 years of research in south-eastern Australia.

Summary: The mammalian vibrissal system is precise, sensitive and involved in multimodal sensing. This Review considers the important implications of environmental change for vibrissal sensing.

Last year, they were hit with a deadly virus. The year before that, starvation. What will this breeding season bring for the thousands of fur seals hauled up on our coasts?

Facial bristles are present in many avian species, although their morphology and function are still not well understood. Previous studies have suggested that rictal bristles are tactile and may play ...

Abstract figure legend The recommended future of whisker science research is integrating findings from the laboratory with studies from other captive institutions (such as zoos, rehabilitation centre...

The ‘sprawling-to-parasagittal’ postural transition is a key part of mammalian evolution from non-mammalian synapsids. This study uses evolutionary adaptive landscapes to reveal parasagittal postures ...

The values of the modulus of elasticity (E) for each species whiskers were obtained when the FE model was aligned to the maximum displacement values of the experiment. Grey seal E values were larger ...
