Uncovering the Process of Sexual Segregation: Male Early‐Life Individual Tactics Shape Its Onset and Affect Phenotypic Quality in a Large Mammal

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Early‐life traits significantly influence sexual segregation patterns and phenotypic quality in male fallow deer. Males in better condition and those more risk‐prone left natal groups earlier with fewer returns to natal groups. However, males with frequent excursions back to natal groups compensated for initial body condition disadvantages.

The Earliest Feathers from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation of North Hebei: Implications for the Early Evolution of the Jehol Biota

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study reports two isolated feather fossils from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation in northeastern China. Morphological analyses identified them as the earliest known feathered theropods (potentially including avian) in the Jehol Biota. This finding reveals a complex ecosystem at the dawn of the Jehol Biota, bridging the temporal and faunal ...

Optimal Hedging Strategies in the Low‐Sulphur Bunker Fuel Landscape

European Financial Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The IMO2020 regulation for the green transition in shipping turned the industry into using two compliant bunker fuels: very low‐sulphur fuel oil (VLSFO) and low‐sulphur marine gas oil (LSMGO). VLSFO futures contracts introduced in late 2019 and other energy‐related futures contracts indicate that the VLSFO contracts trading on the Singapore ...
