Previously undocumented regional variability in crab‐eating macaque skull sexual dimorphism and its implications for biological and morphometric studies

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In a large sample of adult crab‐eating macaques, we quantified sexual dimorphism in size, shape, and covariance across the whole skull and among anatomical regions of the cranium and mandible. All regions showed significant mean sex differences, but the magnitude of size and shape dimorphism varied substantially.

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

Local variation in age‐related cortical expansion within and between cross‐sections of distal human long bones

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cortical bone expansion is an age‐related process where, through endosteal resorption and periosteal apposition, cross‐sectional diameter increases while cortical thickness decreases in long bone diaphyses. Local variation has been observed in this process between cross‐sectional locations, but few studies have examined directional variation ...

Humans and platyrrhines share a pattern of articular variance

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Previous work has identified a pattern of articular shape variation in modern human limb joints, in which convex joint surfaces exhibit constrained variance relative to their more variable concave conarticulars. This pattern is notable given that joint morphogenesis is influenced by local biomechanical environments, which vary substantially ...

Heterogeneity of Response to Early Start Denver Model: Identifying Developmental Trajectories and Predictors of Cognitive Outcomes

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism is a highly heterogenous neurodevelopmental condition that can significantly compromise the quality of life. For children showing atypical trajectories of development in their early years, early and intensive intervention has shown promise in enhancing the development of language, cognition, and social skills. Yet, marked variability in

The Role of Institutional Pressures in Technology Adoption for Low‐Carbon Manufacturing

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Existing research highlights that the adoption of low‐carbon technologies in manufacturing operations is shaped by the external environment. However, limited understanding exists regarding how technology‐related uncertainty interacts with institutional pressures to influence firms' adoption strategies.

The Digital‐Sustainability Disconnect: A Test of Strategic Alignment in the Circular Economy Transition

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study challenges the common assumption that digital and sustainability transformations are naturally synergistic. Integrating signaling theory and the dynamic capability view, we argue that for many firms, particularly traditional SMEs, these initiatives are pursued on separate, unaligned strategic tracks, creating a “signaling‐substance ...

Carotid intima-medial thickness in patients with severe hypertriglyceridemia

Atherosclerosis Plus
Background and aims: Severe hypertriglyceridemia (HTG), defined as plasma triglyceride (TG) concentration > 10 mmol/L, is relatively uncommon, and its implications for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk remain somewhat unclear.

Asymptotic properties of cross‐classified sampling designs

Canadian Journal of Statistics, EarlyView.
Abstract We investigate the family of cross‐classified sampling designs across an arbitrary number of dimensions. We introduce a variance decomposition that enables the derivation of general asymptotic properties for these designs and the development of straightforward and asymptotically unbiased variance estimators.
