Disparate and parallel craniofacial climatic adaptations in native populations of Asia, North America, and South America. [PDF]
This study examines the influence of climate on human evolution using a large dataset (>2500 individuals) and combines morphometric analysis, genomic data, and various statistical techniques. It reveals distinct morphological traits in cold‐region populations, like increased nasal height and reduced facial protrusion, but also differences such as those

Traditional Fermented Dairy Products as Reservoirs of Bifidobacterium With Probiotic Potential: From Microbial Diversity to Functional Characterization. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Traditional fermented dairy products (TFDPs) are complex microbial ecosystems that may serve as reservoirs of many microorganisms, including those with probiotic potential such as Bifidobacterium species and lactobacilli. Although bifidobacteria are widely used as probiotic microorganisms in defined formulations, their occurrence, persistence,

Relative facial width, and its association with canine size and body mass among chimpanzees and bonobos: Implications for understanding facial width-to-height ratio expression among human populations. [PDF]
Abstract Objectives Facial width‐to‐height ratio (fWHR) has been widely investigated in the context of its role in visual communication, though there is a lack of consensus about how fWHR serves as a social signal. To better understand fWHR variation in a comparative context, we investigate the associations between fWHR and canine crown height (CCH ...
