Linking the bed dust microbiome with environmental factors and child respiratory health [PDF]

Annals of Human Biology
Background Humans spend up to 90% of their time indoors and are exposed to a significant number of microbes in their homes, which can have important implications for their health.Aim This study focused on analysing the influence of environmental factors ...

Associations Between Indoor Fungal Community Structures and Environmental Factors: Insights from the Evidence-Driven Indoor Air-Quality Improvement Study [PDF]

Journal of Fungi
Indoor fungal communities, found in household dust, significantly influence indoor air quality and health. These communities are shaped by environmental, socioeconomic, and household factors. However, studies on indoor mycobiomes, particularly in Croatia,

Evaluating the Effects of Managed Free-Roaming Cat Populations on Prey Through Stable Isotope Analysis: A Pilot Study from British Columbia, Canada [PDF]

Animals
Free-roaming domestic cats (Felis catus) present a major management challenge for animal welfare and biodiversity conservation. Trap-neuter-return (TNR) programs, which include sterilization and return of cats, are increasingly adopted to manage cat ...

Reconstructing the genetic formation of Han Chinese from ancient genomes [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background The formation of the Han Chinese is deeply rooted in the Neolithic cultures of the Yellow River basin, particularly the pivotal Longshan cultural sphere which bridged prehistoric societies and early dynastic civilization.

Genomic formation of lower Yellow River populations in the Han dynasty [PDF]

BMC Biology
Background As a key region in the lower Yellow River Basin, Shandong Province plays a central role in understanding the genetic history of East Asia. However, detailed ancient DNA data across its historical periods remains limited.

Population expansion from central plain to northern coastal China inferred from ancient human genomes [PDF]

iScience
Summary: The population history of the northern coastal Chinese is largely unknown due to the lack of ancient human genomes from the Neolithic to historical periods. In this study, we reported 14 newly generated ancient genomes from Linzi, one of China’s

A geometric morphometrics approach to sex estimation of infants from 0 to 6 years using the auricular surface [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Estimating biological sex is an essential tool for studying past population dynamics and cultural behaviour. Typically, it is not performed in non-adults before the onset of puberty, limiting the knowledge that can be gained from immature skeletal ...

First bioanthropological evidence for Yamnaya horsemanship [PDF]

Science Advances, 2023
The origins of horseback riding remain elusive. Scientific studies show that horses were kept for their milk ~3500 to 3000 BCE, widely accepted as indicating domestication. However, this does not confirm them to be ridden. Equipment used by early riders is rarely preserved, and the reliability of equine dental and mandibular pathologies remains ...

Linking infant size and early growth with maternal lifestyle and breastfeeding – the first year of life in the CRIBS cohort

Annals of Human Biology, 2023
Background Every third child in Croatia is classed as overweight or obese. Infant growth can represent early warning signs for obesity. Aim To detect early risk factors for obesity by investigating infant size and early growth trajectories and their ...
