Space and resource use by American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos in an area endemic for chronic wasting disease

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
American crow Corvus brachyrhynchos is a common species throughout North America. Crows play a role in the ecology of multiple diseases and a single laboratory experiment has shown the potential for crows to pass infectious prions, such as those associated with chronic wasting disease (CWD), in their feces after being force‐fed with infected material ...

Peritoneal Fluid‐Derived Small Extracellular Vesicle Proteins as Potential Biomarkers for Endometriosis: A Case–Control Study

open access: yesBJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To demonstrate the presence of peritoneal fluid (PF)‐derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in endometriosis and control samples, to characterise their protein content and to define endometriosis‐specific biomarkers within the sEV proteome. Design Case–control experimental study. Setting Academic endometriosis centre.

Cenozoic Tectonics Ignite Mitochondrial Codon Innovations Propelling Canid Body Size Evolution and Transcontinental Radiations

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.

Optimising the performance of acoustic telemetry receiver arrays for tracking aquatic animals using the arrayplanR package

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Strategically deploying acoustic telemetry receiver arrays is vital for tracking the movements of aquatic animals. Nevertheless, there is a lack of tools that provide the capacity to evaluate how well arrays perform in their study area, as well as ways to optimise receiver configurations to best meet study goals.

A systematic review of avian influenza virus transmission models: Gaps and opportunities

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) increasingly threatens wild birds, poultry, non‐human mammals and humans, yet gaps and opportunities in avian influenza virus (AIV) transmission modelling have not been comprehensively synthesized.

Mandatory Annuitization in the SME Pension Fund in Korea: Welfare and Retirement Adequacy

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Financial Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The collective retirement pension fund for workers in small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) has recently been introduced in Korea (the “Blue Seed” plan), yet retirement wealth is typically withdrawn as a lump sum, leaving retirees exposed to longevity risk.

Terrain Synthesis and Authoring based on Iso‐Contours

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Digital terrains are central to realistic landscape depiction, yet authoring tools must balance perceptual realism with intuitive artistic control. We propose a compact vector‐based representation that models terrain as nested iso‐contours, inspired by geomorphology and cartography.

Phylogenetic and ecological duality in the otoliths of Sciaenidae

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Teleost fishes have evolved taxon‐specific otoliths that vary greatly in size and shape and are primarily involved in hearing and balance. This study identifies the main drivers of otolith shape disparity in Sciaenidae, a clade of sound‐producing bony fishes, using three‐dimensional geometric morphometrics (3DGM).

Life Cycle Consumption and Portfolio Choice Under Real Interest Rate Risk

open access: yesFinancial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We set up a life cycle model with real interest rate risk to demonstrate that real interest rates have implications for optimal household consumption and investments. Lower interest rates lead to higher optimal stock investments and lower consumption.
