Bone histological evidence for posture‐related load transmission in the talpid pectoral girdle

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Bone histology of the clavicle and scapula revealed distinct load‐bearing roles within the mammalian pectoral girdle associated with different forelimb postures. Hyper‐abducted moles exhibited an enhanced load‐bearing role of the clavicle, whereas the parasagittal shrew exhibited histological features consistent with the scapula acting as the principal

When Virchow's law fails: Crouzon syndrome as a test case for quantitative suture closure–endocranial shape relationships

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Crouzon syndrome shows preserved intracranial volume but profoundly altered endocranial shape, with disrupted allometric coupling relative to controls. Treating calvarial suture patency as a continuous, age‐adjusted variable reveals strong system‐level covariation with endocranial morphology, effects invisible to conventional categorical suture scoring.

Polyhedral Computations for the Simple Graph Partitioning Problem [PDF]

The simple graph partitioning problem is to partition an edge-weighted graph into mutually disjoint subgraphs, each containing no more than b nodes, such that the sum of the weights of all edges in the subgraphs is maximal.

Ecological and genomic variation in ectomycorrhizal fungal exploration types

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) produce mycelia with variable extension and complexity, which can be classified according to soil ‘exploration types’ (ETs). ETs have received attention as one of the few mycorrhizal trait frameworks, but without an empirical classification of ET functional diversity and environmental preferences, understanding and ...

Phylogenetic Constraints and Environmental Filtering Jointly Drive Adaptive Evolution in <i>Phragmites australis</i>: From Genetic Structure to Trait Decoupling on the Mongolian Plateau. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Integrating landscape genomics and functional traits across the Mongolian Plateau, we reveal that Phragmites australis exhibits a genetic structure shaped by hydrological connectivity and moisture heterogeneity. Crucially, we identify a strategy of evolutionary decoupling where physiological traits remain highly plastic to adapt to local environments ...
