Patient Outcomes with Robotic-Assisted Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Versus Robotic-Assisted Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy with Minilaparotomy Open
Background: Minimally invasive hysterectomy, with removal of the specimen through the vagina, has minimal morbidity and superior intraoperative and postoperative outcomes compared to abdominal hysterectomy. There are times, however, when v…

Ecological Interactions Drive a Power‐Law Relationship Between Group Size and Population Density in Social Foragers Open
Past work has shown that group formation in foraging animals aids in resource acquisition and reduces the number of interactions with predators. However, group formation can also increase competition for resources among group members. Here…

Head shape predicts isotopic diet in anoles and day geckos Open
Trophic morphology affects resource acquisition; therefore, species differences in such traits may be informative for inferring resource use overlap and potential species interactions. In lizards, head size and shape determine the size and…

Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma in the Pelvis of a 22-Year-Old Female: A Case Report Open
Embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare soft-tissue sarcoma that is responsible for less than 1% of malignancies in the adult population. We present a case of a 22-year-old female with a six-month history of abnormal uterine bleeding that was…

The Ecomechanics of Gecko Adhesion: Natural Surface Topography, Evolution, and Biomimetics Open
The study of gecko adhesion is necessarily interdisciplinary due to the hierarchical nature of the adhesive system and the complexity of interactions between the animals and their habitats. In nature, geckos move on a wide range of surface…

A freshwater conservation blueprint for California: prioritizing watersheds for freshwater biodiversity Open
Conservation scientists have adapted conservation planning principles designed for protection of habitats ranging from terrestrial to freshwater ecosystems. We applied current approaches in conservation planning to prioritize California wa…

Marine subsidies change short‐term foraging activity and habitat utilization of terrestrial lizards Open
Resource pulses are brief periods of unusually high resource abundance. While population and community responses to resource pulses have been relatively well studied, how individual consumers respond to resource pulses has received less at…

The effect of lizards on spiders and wasps: variation with island size and marine subsidy Open
Introduced predators can have dramatic effects on island ecosystems, the magnitude of which are likely to vary with island characteristics. We investigated the influence of two important properties of islands—size and amount of resource su…

Teaching science writing conventions in introductory-level geology courses. Open
Writing is an integral part of communication in the sciences, which allows an effective exchange of ideas, observations, and results within any scientific field’s community and to the general public. However, when writing in science course…
