ABSTRACT Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has recently been described as a synaptopathy where dysregulation at the level of the synapse is thought to evoke an excitation–inhibition (E/I) imbalance implicated in its pathogenesis. The mechanisms through which alterations in glutamatergic signaling bring about an E/I imbalance remain elusive.

Damping Modification Factors for Pile–Induced Filtering Effect
ABSTRACT Period–dependent Damping Modification Factors are usually applied to the 5%–damped pseudo–acceleration response spectrum at free field conditions to derive the seismic demand for structures with damping ratio other than 5%. Likewise, the response spectrum at the foundation level of pile–supported structures may differ from the free field ...

We estimated daily probabilities of female elk transitioning between hunter access strategies during 4 periods of the fall hunting season in the Devil's Kitchen study area in central Montana, USA, 2020‐2023. Elk generally avoided harvest risk by selecting for less hunter access and more restrictive harvest regulations.

We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

Free rein: Are feral horses competing with native ungulates in British Columbia?
We investigated little‐studied feral horses in west‐central British Columbia, Canada, as a potential competitor for native moose and mule deer. We did not find strong evidence that feral horses exclude moose or deer from habitat or resources at a large landscape scale or smaller spatiotemporal patch scale.

ABSTRACT Species‐specific genomic information has the potential to transform modern conservation management strategies through improved genomic assessment and management outcomes. Gaining genomic insights into genetic diversity, adaptability and potential resilience against infectious diseases is essential to enhance conservation efforts for threatened

Non-Traditional Export Crops and Household Livelihood Strategies: Panel Data Evidence from Guatemala [PDF]
This study uses a unique panel dataset that spans a 20-year period (1985-2005), and estimates the effect of household non-traditional agricultural export (NTX) adoption on changes in livelihood orientation and participation in non-farm employment in ...

Color as A Narrative Device in Illustration: A Systematic Review
Color in picture book illustration operates simultaneously as a representational code, cognitive scaffold, and affective cue supporting theories such as Dual Coding and multimodal discourse while revealing gaps in methodology and cross‐cultural research.

Anthropogenic Infrastructures Shape Brown Bear Movements in Human‐Modified Landscapes
Human activities are major drivers of changes in animal behaviour, resulting in diverse spatial and temporal activity patterns across species. In this study, we analysed telemetry data from brown bears in Finland, Slovakia and Romania, to compare how human infrastructure influences their movement behaviour.

Estimation of Parental Abundance Using Hierarchical Bayesian Modeling With Data Augmentation
Pedigree accumulation estimators leverage the fact that each offspring in a cohort is genotypically “marked” by its parents and represent a recent and promising toolset for estimating population dynamics. We developed a hierarchical Bayesian pedigree accumulation estimator and compared it to previously evaluated non‐parametric approaches.
