Estimating wild bee population size with validated distance sampling

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Distance Sampling is a promising method to estimate population size but has never been validated on insects. We validated it on a honey bee population of known size. We applied Distance Sampling to three insular pollinators and found that estimates are consistent across days, match species phenology and reflect the expected influence of weather ...

Axial muscle‐fibre orientations in larval zebrafish

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 517-533, April 2025.
In 4 days post‐fertilization zebrafish larvae, the fast axial muscle fibres follow helical trajectories that taper towards the tail. Adjacent muscle fibres form substantial angles relative to each other to accommodate this pattern. Using a novel semi‐automatic method, we quantified 3D fibre angles over the whole muscle volume.

Medullary radius as a major contributor to variance in the proximal femur: Insights from statistical shape modeling

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Workflow from CT to PCA‐based shape modeling of the proximal femoral canal (n = 763). Feature maps (size, roundness, torsion, flare, curvature) reveal sex‐ and age‐dependent patterns; three PCs capture ≈68% of variance and summarize dominant anatomical changes. Insights inform implant sizing and design envelopes in cementless THA.

Goal Hierarchies: Understanding Sub‐Goal and Primary Goal Interdependency

open access: yesJournal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increased research on how organizations respond to performance feedback on multiple goals. Most of it considers goals that have ambiguous ranking and thus differs from goal hierarchies with sub‐goals that are instrumental for accomplishing a primary goal.

Length of the Adult Human Colon in Health and Constipation Measured Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging

open access: yesNeurogastroenterology &Motility, EarlyView.
Colon length was measured in adult healthy volunteers, people with chronic constipation, and people with IBS with constipation using MRI. Colon length is significantly longer in chronic constipation. The chronically constipated colon is unable to accommodate longitudinally in response to fluid influx from a macrogol challenge.
