    Abstract Bite force is a key performance trait of the feeding system, but maximal in vivo bite force has been measured in few large mammals. The alternative, modelling of bite force from anatomy, cannot be validated without in vivo measurements. To overcome existing limitations of ethics, safety and animal well-being, we propose a semi-automated method to obtain voluntary maximum bite forces from large mammals using bite plates that automatically dispense a food reward if an incrementally increasing threshold force value is reached. We validated our method using two Malayan sun bears, two Andean spectacled bears and a lioness. We show that voluntary bite force measurement using positive reinforcement is a non-invasive and reliable method to record maximum voluntary bite force performance in large mammals. Our results further show that in vivo data are critical as modeling efforts from osteology have greatly underestimated bite forces in Andean spectacled bears.

    Abstract Background: Scorpions can use their pincers and/or stingers to subdue and immobilize their prey. A scorpion can thus choose between strategies involving force or venom, or both, depending on what is required to subdue its prey. Scorpions vary greatly in the size and strength of their pincers, and in the efficacy of their venom. Whether this variability is driven by their defensive or prey incapacitation functionis unknown. In this study, we test if scorpion species with different pincer morphologies and venom efficacies use these weapons differently during prey subjugation. To that end, we observed
    Methods: The scorpion pinch force was measured, and behavioral experiments were performed with hard and soft prey (
    Results: We found that scorpions with large pincers such as
    Conclusions: Our results show that scorpionspecies with massive pincers and high pinch force as

    Abstract Background: In the present study, we have tested whether specimens of the medically relevant scorpion
    Methods: Scorpions were collected in Tolima and Huila, Colombia. Chemical profiles of the crude venom were obtained from 80 scorpions for each region, using SDS-PAGE and RP-HPLC. Assays for phospholipase A
    Results: The electrophoretic profiles of venom from the two regions showed similar bands of 6-14 kDa, 36-45 kDa, 65 kDa and 97 kDa. However, bands between 36 kDa and 65 kDa were observed with more intensity in venoms from Tolima, and a 95 kDa band occurred only in venoms from Huila. The chromatographic profile of the venoms showed differences in the intensity of some peaks, which could be associated with changes in the abundance of some components between both populations. Phospholipase A
    Conclusion: Our results reveal some variation in the activity of the venom between both populations, which could be explained by the ecological adaptations like differences in feeding, altitude and/or diverse predator exposure. However more in-depth studies are necessary to determine the drivers behind the differences in venom composition and activities.

    Abstract The study aimed to evaluate the retinal ganglion cell structure using optical coherence tomography and the visual pathway function employing visual evoked potentials in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with pituitary macroadenoma. A descriptive, cross-sectional, and longitudinal study (3 and 12 months follow-up) was conducted on forty-two patients. Thirty-five age-matched healthy controls were used in the cross-sectional one. Full neuro-ophthalmological evaluation (structural and functional) was carried out including global and segmented retinal nerve fiber layer/ganglion cell complex analysis and amplitude and latency of P100 component in the electrophysiology. Statistical data analysis was conducted with R version 3.6.3 and Python version 3.8. Associations were evaluated using Spearman's correlations. Amplitude sensitivities were 0.999, and bi-nasal sectors of ganglion cell complex thickness specificities were 0.999. This structural parameter had the highest diagnostic value (area under curve = 0.923). Significant associations were found between bi-nasal sectors with amplitude at 12' (rho > 0.7,

    Abstract Phoneutria Perty, 1833 is considered one of the most toxic spider genera in the world; however, the natural history and biology of these spiders is still largely unexplored. The objective of this study was to determine the natural diet of the medically important species Phoneutria boliviensis (F.O.P.-Cambridge, 1897) based on prey records from Colombia, and supplemented by published records found in electronic databases as well as photographic records from the internet. We found that P. boliviensis is an euryphagous predator with a broad diet made up predominantly of arthropods (orders Araneae, Blattodea, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Mantodea, Orthoptera, and Phasmatodea) and to a lesser extent of small vertebrates (Gekkonidae, Hylidae, and Sphaerodactylidae). These results support previous evidence suggesting that P. boliviensis is a generalist predator that includes both invertebrates and small vertebrates in its diet.
