Fully automatic extraction of morphological traits from the web: Utopia or reality?

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Plant morphological traits, their observable characteristics, are fundamental to understanding the role played by each species within its ecosystem; however, compiling trait information for even a moderate number of species is a demanding task that may take experts years to accomplish.

Bending performance changes during prolonged canine eruption in saber‐toothed carnivores: A case study of Smilodon fatalis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The canine of saber‐toothed predators represents one of the most specialized dental structures known. Hypotheses about the function of hypertrophied canines range from display and conspecific interaction, soft food processing, to active prey acquisition.

Review of the anatomical basis for predicting plutonium alpha particle radiation induced osteogenic cancers

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Differences in motivation for biology learning: A measurement invariance testing and latent mean comparison approach

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Educational and psychological research often involves comparing motivation across groups. It is critical to ensure that observed differences in motivation are true variations by group, not due to measurement biases. With a diverse sample of undergraduate students (N = 2200), this study measured internal consistency and gathered validity ...

Legal and ethical considerations around the use of existing illustrations to generate new illustrations in the anatomical sciences

Anatomical Sciences Education, Volume 18, Issue 3, Page 289-300, March 2025.
Abstract It is likely existing anatomical illustrations are often used as the basis for new illustrative works, given not all illustrators have access to human tissues, bodies, or prosections on which to base their illustrations. Potential issues arise with this practice in the realms of copyright infringement and plagiarism when authors are seeking to

The importance of science communication and public engagement to professional associations

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Scientists have gathered in professional associations to promote science to the public. The American Association for Anatomy (AAA) has invested resources in programs to promote anatomical sciences to the public (high school level via the Anato‐Bee; all levels via Anatomy nights) and train scientists how to talk to the public (SciComm Bootcamp ...

Essential work, invisible workers: The role of digital curation in COVID‐19 Open Science

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, Volume 76, Issue 4, Page 703-717, April 2025.
Abstract In this paper, we examine the role digital curation practices and practitioners played in facilitating open science (OS) initiatives amid the COVID‐19 pandemic. In Summer 2023, we conducted a content analysis of available information regarding 50 OS initiatives that emerged—or substantially shifted their focus—between 2020 and 2022 to address ...

“Am I being responsible?”: Navigating coming‐of‐age transitions through personal financial information management

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This research explored how young adults (ages 18–25) learn to use financial records and the roles financial records play in their experiences in coming to see themselves as financially mature social actors. The contribution of this paper is a revised model of transitions theory that includes personal information management (PIM) as an ...
