Priority areas for arthropod conservation in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands: Insights from a multi‐taxon distributional database

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Using over 416,000 occurrence records from 13 arthropod groups (6233 arthropod species), we mapped large‐scale richness patterns and identified biodiversity hotspots across the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Hotspot congruence among arthropod groups was low, underscoring the importance of integrative, multi‐taxon approaches for conservation ...

Does Pay Transparency for Employees Affect Product Recalls?

open access: yesJournal of Business Finance &Accounting, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pay transparency can affect workers’ behavior and, consequently, firm outcomes. This study exploits the state‐level, staggered enactment of pay transparency laws to examine how pay transparency affects firms’ product recalls. We find that firms headquartered in pay‐transparency‐law states see an increase in product recalls.

The Influence of Different Polishing Systems on the Gloss and Surface Roughness of Two Distinct Nano‐Filled Composites

open access: yesJournal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the influence of different polishing systems on the surface roughness and gloss of two nano‐filled resin composites, and to investigate the effect of a modeling agent (Ceramage) on surface roughness. Methods Two nano‐filled resin composites, Filtek Z350 XT and Palfique LX5, were used.

Effect of Delayed Exposure to Staining Agents on the Color Stability and Translucency of Esthetic Resin Composites

open access: yesJournal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the effect of delayed exposure to staining agents and resin composite type on the discoloration and translucency changes of esthetic resin composites. Materials and Methods Five resin composites (Asteria, Tokuyama; Brillant EverGlow, Coltene; GC A'chord; Harmonize; and Filtek Ultimate, 3M ESPE) were tested. Disc specimens

Effect of Successive Bleaching Treatments Followed by Staining on Color, Whiteness, and Translucency of Polymer‐Based CAD‐CAM Materials

open access: yesJournal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate differences in color, whiteness, and translucency of CAD‐CAM materials after successive bleaching treatments and coffee immersion. Materials and Methods Lava Ultimate (LU) and VITA Enamic (VE) were divided into four groups (n = 12): untreated (control), 35% hydrogen peroxide (WH), 10% carbamide peroxide (OP), or WH ...

An investigation of the functional significance of the pyramidalis muscle using shear wave elastography

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pyramidalis (Py) is a small triangular‐shaped anterior abdominal wall muscle, the function of which remains uncertain. We used shear wave elastography to test the hypothesis that Py contributes to stiffness of the linea alba. Our results indicate that Py contraction results in a significant increase in LA stiffness, supporting the previously ...

Exposure and Emotional Reactivity to Daily Stressors in Same‐Sex and Different‐Sex Marriages

open access: yesJournal of Marriage and Family, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examines differences in exposure and emotional reactivity to daily stressors for women and men in same‐sex and different‐sex marriages. Background Prior research on daily stress processes in marriage suggests that women may face heightened exposure and emotional reactivity to daily stressors compared to men. However, prior
