Finite Element Analysis of the Cingulata Jaw: An Ecomorphological Approach to Armadillo’s Diets

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Finite element analyses (FEA) were applied to assess the lower jaw biomechanics of cingulate xenarthrans: 14 species of armadillos as well as one Pleistocene pampathere (11 extant taxa and the extinct forms Vassallia, Eutatus and Macroeuphractus).

Seasonality as a structuring factor of the dung beetle community in burned neotropical savannas

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
We tested the effects of fire, vegetation cover and seasonality on dung beetle communities, focusing on species richness, composition and co‐occurrence patterns in savannas. Fire did not affect species richness. However, seasonality was the dominant factor influencing species composition, followed by fire and vegetation cover.

Extracting vitalities: Cuts in Indigenous women's bodies‐territories (Brazil)

open access: yesMedical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, I explore the connections between the medicalization of childbirth and environmental devastation through Guarani‐Mbyá understandings of life and the living. I argue that the cuts made to Guarani‐Mbyá women's vaginas (episiotomies) in Brazilian hospitals are experienced and situated on the same cosmopolitical level as the cuts ...

Genetic and Phenotypic Diversity of European Triticale: GWAS of Yellow Rust Resistance and Agronomic Traits

open access: yesPlant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Triticale (x Triticosecale Wittmack) is an interspecific hybrid of wheat and rye. It is a promising grain and forage crop that thrives in poorer soils and low‐input farming systems. It can serve as a viable alternative to traditional small grains such as wheat and barley, bringing diversity to crop rotations and enhancing biodiversity in ...

A Bayesian Spatiotemporal Functional Model for Data With Block Structure and Repeated Measures

open access: yesEnvironmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The analysis of spatiotemporal data is fundamental across multiple scientific disciplines, particularly in assessing the behavior of climate effects over space and time. A key challenge in this area is effectively capturing recurring climate phenomena, such as El Niño/La Niña (ENSO) phases, which induce prolonged periods of similar weather ...

Adult granulosa cell tumours of the testis analogous to ovarian counterparts are exceptionally rare: analysis of a multicentric series and review of the literature

open access: yesHistopathology, Volume 88, Issue 4, Page 831-842, March 2026.
Assessment of twenty testicular AGCTs with two different next‐generation sequencing (NGS) panels reveals differences with ovarian AGCTs, including absence of hotspot FOXL2 variants. Aims Testicular adult granulosa cell tumours (AGCTs) are rare and show several clinical–pathological differences with their ovarian counterparts.

Along the Silenced Footsteps of Latin American Pastoralists: From Mexico to Argentina, a Journey Through Pastoral Systems in Latin America

open access: yesThe Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, Volume 31, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Pastoralism worldwide faces a complex landscape of increased pressures and exclusion. Beyond ecological and economic challenges, pastoralists suffer eroding cultural identity, limited generational renewal, and political marginalization. Yet pastoral livelihoods are increasingly recognized as stewards of sustainable futures and amongst the best
