Origins of the human predatory pattern: the transition to large-animal exploitation by early hominins
The habitual consumption of large-animal resources (eg, similar sized or larger than the
consumer) separates human and nonhuman primate behavior. Flaked stone tool use …

Mind the (sr) GAP–roles of Slit–Robo GAPs in neurons, brains and beyond
ABSTRACT The Slit–Robo GTPase-activating proteins (srGAPs) were first identified as
potential Slit–Robo effectors that influence growth cone guidance. Given their N-terminal F …

Nitrogen isotopes in tooth enamel record diet and trophic level enrichment: Results from a controlled feeding experiment
Nitrogen isotope ratios (δ 15 N) are a well-established tool for investigating the dietary and
