From bridewealth to dowry? A Bayesian estimation of ancestral states of marriage transfers in Indo-European groups

, 2006
Significant amounts of wealth have been exchanged as part of marriage settlements throughout history. Although various models have been proposed for interpreting these practices, their development over time has not been investigated systematically.

Post‐LECA Origin and Diversification of an Axonemal Outer Arm Dynein Motor

Cytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dyneins were present in the last eukaryotic common ancestor (LECA) and play key roles in eukaryotic biology. Axonemal dyneins form the inner and outer arms that power ciliary beating, and it has long been recognized that outer arms in some organisms contain two different heavy chain motors, whereas those from other species contain a third unit

Dental development in the tropical gar (Atractosteus tropicus) and the evolution of vertebrate dentitions

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Dentitions have diversified enormously during vertebrate evolution, involving reductions, modifications, or allocations to prey seizing and processing regions. A combination of ancient and novel features related to dental and oropharyngeal apparatuses is found in extant lineages of non‐teleost fishes, such as the gars.

Expression of mutant TIE2 p.L914F during mouse development causes embryonic lethality and defects in vascular remodeling

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sporadic venous malformation (VM) is associated with the hyperactivating p.L914F mutation in TIE2, a receptor tyrosine kinase essential for vascular development. This mutation is not found in hereditary VM, suggesting incompatibility with life when expressed during early vascular development.

Age‐related trends in niche position and specialization in Neotropical vertebrates

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species' niche positions and breadths within a region's environmental space, measured through ecological niche factor analysis (ENFA) as marginality and specialization, can reflect evolutionary constraints related to lineage age. The ‘internal incumbency' hypothesis predicts that older species, due to competitive preemption, occupy more central niche ...

Plant adaptive strategies respond to environmental change across European grassland habitats

Ecography, EarlyView.
Grassland ecosystems are facing rapid and ongoing change driven by intensified land‐use and accelerated climate change, highlighting the urgent need to understand their potential adaptation and response to environmental change. We analyzed data from 52 980 vegetation plots spanning all major grassland habitats in Europe (including alpine, rocky, sandy,

Next‐Generation Surgery: Integrating Artificial Intelligence, Genetic Technologies, Bioengineering and Rehabilitation Into Modern Practices

Exploration, EarlyView.
This graphic abstract depicts the convergence of artificial intelligence, genetic technologies, bioengineering, and rehabilitation as the core pillars of next‐generation surgery. These domains collectively enhance preoperative planning, intraoperative precision, tissue reconstruction, and postoperative recovery, driving a paradigm shift toward ...

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

Spiritual Cannibalism in HRD: How Workplace Spirituality Devours Sacred Traditions

Human Resource Development Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper interrogates how the discourse of workplace spirituality in human resource development (HRD) operates as a tool of colonization. Through a systematic review of 48 articles published between 1997 and March 2025, the study uncovers recurring patterns of spiritual appropriation in which non‐Western traditions are detached from their ...
