INTER- AND INTRASPECIFIC VARIATION IN THE ARTIBEUS SPECIES COMPLEX DEMONSTRATES SIZE AND SHAPE PARTITIONING AMONG SPECIES

Inter- and intraspecific variation in the Artibeus species complex demonstrates size and shape partitioning among species

Neotropical leaf-nosed bats (family Phyllostomidae) are one of the most diverse mammalian families and Artibeus spp.is one of the most speciose phyllostomid genera.In spite of their species diversity, previous work on Artibeus crania using linear morphometrics has uncovered limited interspecific variation.This dearth of console front shape variatio

Conceptualization, proposed design and theoretical investigations of an active adaptive cutting device with enhanced energy dissipation potential

Active adaptive energy dissipation systems can receive and interpret data from 700C onboard vehicle sensors to respond to external stimuli by modifying their geometries and corresponding load bearing capacities.This is a highly promising subfield in structural crashworthiness since these devices possess multiple potential configurations, thus allow
