The Middle Paleolithic Levant was presumably home to a variety of equid and other mammalian species originating from three continents co-mingling within the land bridge that is “the Levant corridor”. The biogeography of equid species may aid in contextualizing human migration pa…
Feathers are among the key characteristics that distinguish extant Aves (crown birds) from other taxonomic groups. However, 'modern' pennaceous feathers were inherited to the birds from their non-avian dinosaurian ancestors and are present in a more inclusive group of theropod d…
Successful management of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys Stål (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), relies upon an accurate understanding of its biology and ecology. I examined aspects of the host plant suitability, management, and parasitoid interactions of H. h…
Mammalian carnivores play complex and sometimes keystone roles in structuring terrestrial ecosystems and facilitating biodiversity by driving trophic cascades that link predators to prey to plant communities. Carnivores have emerged as excellent ecological models that provide ev…
