Injuries in deep time: interpreting competitive behaviours in extinct reptiles via palaeopathology
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT For over a century, palaeopathology has been used as a tool for understanding evolution, disease in past communities and populations, and to interpret behaviour of extinct taxa. Physical traumas in particular have frequently been the justification for interpretations about aggressive and even competitive behaviours in extinct taxa.

Body temperatures of modern and extinct vertebrates from ^(13)C-^(18)O bond abundances in bioapatite [PDF]
, 2010 The stable isotope compositions of biologically precipitated apatite in bone, teeth, and scales are widely used to obtain information on the diet, behavior, and physiology of extinct organisms and to reconstruct past climate.

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

A comprehensive embryonic staging series of the turtle Trachemys scripta
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Turtles hold a unique place in vertebrate evolutionary history, making them critical assets in embryology research. Yet, they remain understudied as potential model organisms in the field. Here, to support experimental manipulations with turtle embryos, we have created a complete normal table of development for comprehensive ...

Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

City Slicker or Country Bumpkin?—Distinguishing Urban and Rural Residents From Subtle Facial Cues
European Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Stereotypes characterize urban and rural residents as differing in traits, values and social outcomes. Here, we examined how people's stereotypes about urban and rural residents differ, testing their validity using a lens model. Results showed that participants detected whether people resided in urban or rural areas from photos across three ...

Application Research of Microstructured Flexible Sensors in Rehabilitative Wearable Sensing
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Flexible sensors enable the continuous, real‐time monitoring of the physiological and movement signals of patients, providing data support for precise rehabilitation strategies and playing a crucial role in rehabilitation medicine. However, traditional rigid sensors are often incompatible with dynamic body contours due to their high material ...
