Cataloguing giraffe behavior

This comprehensive ethogram of 65 wild and captive giraffe behaviors, including their presumed purposes, aims to ensure that future studies of giraffe behavioral ecology are comparable and may therefore help with giraffe conservation.

Eating lizards: a 10000 year old practice

Remnants of lizards and reptilian parasite eggs have been identified in human coprolite samples from Northwest Brazil, suggesting the local practice of lizard consumption was prevalent up to 10,000 years ago.

Aims & scope

BMC Research Notes is an open access journal publishing scientifically sound research across all fields of biology and medicine. The journal provides a home for short publications, case series, and incremental updates to previous work with the intention of reducing the loss suffered by the research community when such results remain unpublished.

BMC Research Notes also encourages the publication of software tools, databases and data sets and a key objective of the journal is to ensure that associated data files will, wherever possible, be published in standard, reusable formats. We are currently working with researchers across the full spectrum of biomedical research to define appropriate recommendations for domain-specific data file standards.
