Body Size, Dental Pathology, and Maternal Genetic Diversity of Ancient Horses in the Eastern Baltic Sea Region and Western Russia

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The early evolutionary history of modern domestic horses (Equus caballus/Equus ferus caballus), known as the DOM2 lineage, is well documented due to numerous archaeological and ancient DNA (aDNA) studies. Although many uncertainties remain in the domestication timeline, current evidence suggests that the domestication of modern horses began in

Signs of compliance: Message framing influences outdoor recreationists' responses to conservation requests

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural landscapes shared by people and wildlife often rely on signage to guide people towards behaviours that protect nature, where the justification and framing of these requests may influence how people interpret and respond to them. We conducted a factorial vignette experiment with 600 frequent outdoor recreationists living in Scotland ...

Notoginsenoside R2 Antagonizes Renal Interstitial Fibrosis by Regulating Fatty Acid Oxidation via the CASP2/ALDH3A1 Axis

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Proposed mechanism by which notoginsenoside R2 (NGR2) attenuates renal interstitial fibrosis. In injured renal tubular epithelial cells, CASP2 downregulation and enhanced ubiquitin‐dependent degradation of ALDH3A1 disrupt mitochondria‐associated endoplasmic reticulum membranes (MAMs) and impair fatty acid oxidation (FAO), leading to lipid accumulation ...

Essential Oils From the Fruit of Amomum villosum Lour. Alleviate LPS‐Induced Neuroinflammation by Repressing PI3K‐Akt and MAPK Signaling Pathways

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Amomum villosum essential oil (AVEO) alleviates LPS‐induced neuroinflammation and cognitive and behavioral dysfunction by suppressing PI3K‐Akt and MAPK signaling pathways, modulating inflammatory responses, and restoring metabolic homeostasis, thereby exerting neuroprotective effects. ABSTRACT Amomum villosum Lour.

Efficient and Accurate Spatio‐Temporal Population Monitoring of Mobile Animals Using Drones and Computer Vision

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Drones and computer vision offer an efficient way to estimate animal populations over localized areas, but surveys often require stitching many overlapping images together. If animals move during the survey, traditional orthomosaic‐based counting methods become unreliable, with some animals appearing in multiple locations while others appear not at all,
