Animal lifestyle changes acceptable mass limits for attached tags

The paper introduces a method to calculate acceptable tag mass limits for animals based on their movement patterns and athleticism, showing that 3% of body mass is not always sufficient.

Forces experienced by instrumented animals depend on lifestyle

The paper shows that tag forces on animals depend on lifestyle, not just mass, challenging the 3% mass limit for animal tags.

Path tortuosity changes the transport cost paradigm in terrestrial animals

The paper shows that path tortuosity affects transport cost in terrestrial animals, with minimum cost of transport speed decreasing as tortuosity increases.

Human Cytomegalovirus Genomes Sequenced Directly from Clinical Material: Variation, Multiple-Strain Infection, Recombination and Mutation

The paper sequences HCMV genomes from clinical samples to study variation, multiple-strain infection, recombination, and mutation, finding that recombinant strains and pseudogenes can persist and cause congenital infections.
