Taking Risks, With and Without Probabilities

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some hold that expected utility is too restrictive in the way it handles risk. Risk‐weighted expected utility is an alternative that allows decision‐makers to have a range of attitudes toward probabilistic risk. It holds that any attitude within this range is instrumentally rational, since these attitudes represent different, equally good ...

Comparative analysis of immune responses in ovipositing and non‐ovipositing females of European earwig Analyse comparative de la réponse immunitaire avant et après la ponte chez le forficule européen

Physiological Entomology, EarlyView.
Oviposition and care decrease the total haemocyte concentration. Oviposition and care affect haemocyte type proportions. Serratia marcescens challenge does not affect the immune cell parameters. Abstract Reproduction and immunity are essential biological processes that compete for resources and energy.

Landscape conservation forecasting to evaluate ecological condition and wildlife habitat suitability in eastern Nevada U.S.A.

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Cooperation among managers of protected areas and federal multiple use lands with private inholdings to increase restoration success and economies of scale creates ecological and regulatory complexity best studied with state‐and‐transition simulation models (STSM).

Animal Segregation: The Biopolitics of Concentrated Pig Farming

Tijdschrift voor Economische en Sociale Geografie, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper explores the possibility to think through the concept of animal segregation to understand the more‐than‐human geographies of livestock animals. By redirecting the analytical tools for studying the spatial separation of humans to the segregation of animals, this paper contributes to understanding the geographical processes of ...

Heat treatment combined with hybrid exercises retraining mitigates cellular markers of protein turnover after hindlimb suspension in male mice: A pilot study

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent evidence suggests that heat treatment (HT) and resistance training can limit skeletal muscle mass loss during immobilization. However, the effects of repeated HT sessions combined with hybrid exercises (EX), which promote both endurance and resistance responses, on muscle protein turnover following hindlimb unloading (HU) remain ...

Sex‐dependent effects of a high‐fat diet‐induced obesity model on cerebrovascular health and brain metabolism

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mid‐life obesity is a major risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases, with mitochondrial and cerebrovascular dysfunction considered key mediators. Lysine acetylation is a reversible post‐translational modification that regulates several mitochondrial metabolic and biochemical processes.

Skeletal muscle‐specific myostatin overexpression promotes muscle oxidative capacity and fatigue resistance in transgenic mice

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract In addition to controlling muscle mass, myostatin may support oxidative metabolism and endurance. Loss of function through gene knockout or post‐natal blockade generally lowers muscle oxidative capacity and increases fatigability. These observations imply that myostatin activation could promote a more oxidative and less fatigable muscle ...
