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 shape variation suggests tha

Vellus hair follicle diseases

Human hair follicles are composed of vellus hair follicles (vHFs), sebaceous hair follicles, and terminal hair follicles (tHFs), which share histoanatomy, but differ in biophysiology, therefore are distinctive in clinical morbidities.vHFs are much less studied, and many issues remain to be clarified, such as the expression and regulation of androge
