Secondary cartilage in the murine medial pterygoid plate has a critical role in the pathfinding of the tensor veli palatini

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The development of the medial pterygoid plate (MPP) is followed in mouse embryos, highlighting its neural crest origin and complex development via both endochondral and membranous ossification. Using transgenic mice, the secondary cartilage of the MPP is shown to direct the path of the tensor veli palatini.

Impact of birth weight and daily weight gain during suckling on the weight gain of weaning piglets [PDF]

Arquivo Brasileiro de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia
This study evaluated the effect of birth weight and weight gain during the suckling phase on the piglet daily weight gain during the nursery phase (21-61 days of age). Piglets (n= 534) derived from 55 first-parity sows were weighed at birth, weaning, and

Oral Leptin Treatment in Suckling Rats Ameliorates Detrimental Effects in Hypothalamic Structure and Function Caused by Maternal Caloric Restriction during Gestation

PLoS ONE, 2013
A poor prenatal environment brings about perturbations in leptin surge and hypothalamic circuitry that program impaired ability to regulate energy homeostasis in adulthood. Here, using a rat model of moderate maternal caloric restriction during gestation,

Current Trends, Future Prospects and Constraints of Whole Microalgae and Their Fractions as a Functional Feed Ingredient for Animals

Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Microalgae are a highly diverse group of unicellular organisms that grow in a wide range of aquatic environments and are widely used as dietary supplements for both human and animal applications. Microalgae are rich in lipids, proteins, carbohydrates and other valuable bioactive components such as pigments, antioxidants and vitamins.

Biomechanics and Evolution of the Primate Tongue

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Primate tongue morphology and function are critical to understanding the evolution of feeding, swallowing, and vocalization. In this paper, we examine the primate tongue as a muscular hydrostat with regionally specialized neuromuscular compartments. We integrate anatomical, kinematic, and biomechanical modeling approaches to analyze how muscle

Dark Triad Traits Affect the Perception of Emotions in Animal Calls

International Journal of Psychology, Volume 61, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Humans can recognize emotions from vocalisations of various animal species. Our study examined whether human psychological differences in dark personality traits (as measured by SD3) and musician experience affect the decoding of emotions in animal calls.
