Abstract The Weberian apparatus is a hearing specialization unique to the otophysan fishes, and an unexpected degree of morphological variation exists in species of the Noturus catfishes. Our aim in this study is to investigate relationships between morphological variations and ecology that may drive this variation.

Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Potato peel valorization through ethanolamine reactive organosolv treatment
Abstract Approximately 30% of the global potato supply is processed, generating substantial amounts of potato peel (PP) as a byproduct. Potato peel is a suberoligneous biomass, commonly found in the barks and peels of tuberous roots and tubers, and remains underutilized despite being a valuable source of cutin and suberin.
