Courtship display behavior influences tail myology in Centrocercus minimus (Gunnison sage‐grouse)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Courtship displays among birds are widespread, particularly those which incorporate raised tail feathers for extended periods of time. The Gunnison sage‐grouse (Centrocercus minimus) is such a species. When we compared the tail muscles of the sage‐grouse to birds which do not engage in erected tail fan postures, both morphology proportional mass ...

Relationship between carina size and sternum morphology in birds reflects physical constraints of body size and flight style

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Sternum morphology varies among birds and is a function of body mass and order. The area of the sternum is inversely related to the area of the keel suggesting that the increase in bone mass associated with a large keel has been mitigated by a reduction in bone mass of the sternum.

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

Short‐Term Trips, Short‐Term Effects? Exploring the Association Between Religious Retreats and Mission Trips With Subjective Well‐Being

Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although religious service attendance is touted for its reliable measurement and robust associations with well‐being, the overwhelming focus on attendance has allowed other aspects of religious participation to be significantly understudied.

Caring for the institution: An ethnography of quality assurance policy in U.S. rural primary care

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Based on mixed‐methods, ethnographic research in a geographically isolated rural medical center in the upper midwestern United States, this paper explores the social implications of healthcare quality assurance policies highly reliant on managerial logics, including measurement and monitoring programs.
