Osteometry of Duck Species in Northwestern Europe—A Reassessment of Woelfle's (1967) Dataset
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study revisits and expands upon Elisabeth Woelfle's (1967) foundational analysis of bone morphology and osteometry, which has long been a key reference for zooarcheological identification of duck species in northwestern Europe. By examining Woelfle's unpublished measuring protocols and incorporating 523 newly measured specimens, we ...

Small Structures, EarlyView.Bone's complex hierarchical structure contains many internal interfaces, including the cement line (CL) around osteons. This article shows that the CL is stiffer and harder than surrounding bone but has different mineral–mechanics relationships. These findings challenge the view of the CL as a soft, protective interface and provide insights for ...

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate whether adding a connective tissue graft (CTG) to guided bone regeneration (GBR) improves clinical and radiographic outcomes in surgical peri‐implantitis treatment. Materials and Methods Thirty‐two patients with peri‐implantitis were randomly assigned to receive GBR and CTG (test group, TG) or GBR alone (control group ...

Clinical Oral Implants Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives To evaluate the clinical performance of two‐piece zirconia implants with screw‐retained abutments compared to titanium implants after 1 year of loading. Materials and Methods In this multicenter, prospective, randomized clinical trial, 61 two‐piece zirconia and 61 titanium implants were placed and restored with single crowns ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Recent molecular evidence showed that Labeo umbratus comprises two allopatrically distributed genetic lineages, a northern lineage confined to the Orange‐Vaal River system where this species was originally described and a southern lineage with three geographically separated haplogroups (western, central and eastern) distributed across multiple

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...
