Comparative endocranial anatomy in the crocodylians Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei from the upper Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei share endocranial features such as posterior projection of a neurovascular canal in the maxilla and a paratympanic sinus system most similar to those of small‐bodied and young extant crocodylians, suggesting that these pedomorphic features may reflect the ancestral crocodylian condition.

Scaling of internal joint distance in the elbow of small‐ to medium‐sized mammals: Implications for range of motion analyses

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We investigated the internal joint distances (IJDs) of the humero‐ulnar and humero‐radial joint, within a sample of 15 small‐ to medium‐sized mammals and report isometric results. We also found that joint poses had no effect on IJDs and that IJDs scale isometrically within small species.

Sleep Deprivation in Mice: Looking Beyond the Slow Wave Rebound

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep is a fundamental process supporting the dynamic regulation of neural function. Emerging methods have proposed that the aperiodic components of brain signals (such as the spectral slope, spectral intercept, and spectral knee), in addition to entropy‐based measures, offer robust empirical markers of neural states.

Vast, overlooked peat, and organic soils in Brazil's Cerrado: carbon storage, dynamics, and stability

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Tropical peatlands are critical for climate mitigation due to their dual role as major carbon sinks and methane sources. In rainforests, high and stable rainfall supports peat accumulation in tropical climates. However, groundwater‐fed peatlands in seasonally dry tropical ecosystems remain poorly understood, despite their potential importance ...

Scaling law links plant growth variation to grain yield in wheat stands

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Growth rate, a fundamental trait associated with plant resource use, scales with plant mass, following consistent allometric power laws shaped by biophysical constraints and natural selection captured in metabolic scaling theory (MST). Although well‐established in wild plants, MST has been overlooked in crop improvement.
