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

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
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 ...

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.

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
