Hox Gene Variation Drives Morphological Specialization of Humpback Grouper Cromileptes altivelis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Cromileptes altivelis exhibits a distinctive “sunken head and humpback” morphology, formed through cranial remodeling. Genetic analyses identified unique amino acid variants in Hoxa7a and Hoxa10b, with functional tests confirming their role in enhancing osteoblast activity and driving cranial remodeling.

Transcriptomics Unveil Dsx1 as a Critical Regulator in Sexual Dimorphism of Crustaceans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Sexually dimorphic traits are involved in reproductive competition and are shaped by sex‐biased gene expression. This study identifies Dsx1 as a key male‐biased gene in Morinoia aosen and demonstrates through RNA interference that its disruption feminizes male‐specific T3 leg structures.

Fishing Activity Affected Odontocete Cetacean Distribution in a Marine Protected Area in the East China Sea

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Spatiotemporal distribution of odontocete cetaceans within China's Jiushan Archipelago National Nature Reserve was investigated. Fishing vessels significantly reduced both cetacean acoustic detections and feeding activity, whereas gillnets selectively suppressed cetacean feeding behavior without affecting overall cetacean detection rates.

An Enhanced Integrated Reporting Framework: Insights From a Critical Analysis of the Recent Research Literature

Accounting &Finance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given recent developments in the corporate reporting regulatory landscape, we provide a more comprehensive understanding of Integrated Reporting (IR) evolution and propose an enhanced version of the IR Framework. This enhanced framework incorporates new narratives and conceptualizations, introducing innovative perspectives that challenge and ...

Toward a Politics of (In)Fertility: Reproductive Debility in Africa

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sub‐Saharan Africa has some of the highest estimated rates of infertility or involuntary childlessness in the world, leading epidemiologists to refer to parts of the region as the “infertility belt.” The medicalization of infertility and the situating of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) as the treatment for infertility have siphoned ...

Adaptive Spaces and Rural Futures: Climate Change, Agrarian Dynamics, and Knowledge Politics in Southeast Asian Socioecological Transformations

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Contemporary rural change in Southeast Asia is shaped by complex, intersecting forces that defy simplistic narratives. Researchers must therefore develop new ways to grasp nuanced, non‐linear, and locally specific processes to understand how transformational shifts may occur (or not) in the region.
