Heterodonty in the teeth of the turiasaurian sauropod from Angeac‐Charente (Early Cretaceous, southwestern France): Comparison of anatomical and geometric morphometric approaches

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Turiasaurian teeth from Angeac‐Charente exhibit five dental morphotypes and reveal clear heterodonty and anteroposterior size gradient. Qualitative comparative anatomy quickly and efficiently identifies morphotypes, while 3D geometric morphometrics combined with machine learning refine ambiguous cases, demonstrating that qualitative and quantitative ...

Modelling compressive loading in large‐bodied mammals reveals distinct biomechanical strategies in proboscidean humeri

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Graviportal proboscideans differ in limb morphology, adopting slender or more robust long bone morphotypes. Finite element analyses (FEA) on extant and extinct taxa reveal functional differences between morphotypes, with robust humeri exhibiting lower peak stress under neutral and off‐axis loading.

Inferential communication: The primacy of external representations

open access: yesMind &Language, EarlyView.
We argue that intentionalist accounts of ostensive‐inferential communication fail to adequately explain the role of external representations in human communication. We propose that the contents of a specific form of representational communication, symbolic depictions via spatio‐temporal arrangements of objects, can be inferred without attributing ...

Unions as Digital Trailblazers: How Digitalizing Voting Practices (Re)shape Membership and Participation

open access: yesNew Technology, Work and Employment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unions are increasingly adopting digital tools, yet research often portrays them as lagging in the digital age. This article challenges that view by examining union agency in the digitalisation of voting. Drawing on qualitative interviews with union officials, digital consultants collaborating on developing digital union voting and 12 years of

Equity How and Equity for Whom? Incorporating Equity Into Local Government Budgeting Processes

open access: yesPublic Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Social equity is politically polarized, with advocates contending that it is a governance mandate and opponents claiming that it promotes reverse discrimination and inefficiencies. When implementing policies and programs, local bureaucrats must maneuver within this legal, ethical, normative, and political battlefield.

Now, Again and Again: The Metaphysics of Many Presents

open access: yesPacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper discusses whether there can be multiple present moments. After presenting some reasons for thinking that the question is worthwhile, I challenge several objections to its possibility: worries about the exclusivity of tense; the nature of change, tense logic and semantics; and the apparent tension between multiple presents and an ...

Public opposition to protest online: A qualitative content analysis of YouTube comments on UK climate activism videos

open access: yesAnalyses of Social Issues and Public Policy, Volume 26, Issue 3, December 2026.
Abstract Public discourse plays a crucial role in shaping the success of social movements. While research has explored public support for collective action, less attention has been paid to active opposition and delegitimization strategies. This study investigates the discursive contestation of climate protests by Extinction Rebellion and Just Stop Oil ...

Growth dynamics, skeletochronology, and histovariability of the theropod dinosaur Berthasaura leopoldinae

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3169-3186, November 2026.
Osteohistological sampling on different bones of theropod dinosaur documents discrepant age record, growth, and metabolism. This could result unprecise paleobiological inferences if samplings are based on single bones. However, multi‐bone sampling can attenuate these discrepancies, helping to infer growth dynamics and physiology of these extinct ...

An unusual titanosaur axis from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil and its significance for sauropod anatomy and systematics

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3137-3168, November 2026.
Abstract The Upper Cretaceous São José do Rio Preto Formation (Bauru Group, southeastern Brazil) has yielded a fragmentary but taxonomically diverse record of titanosaur sauropods, although elements from cervical series remain scarce. Here, we describe a nearly complete sauropod axis from the Vila Ventura Paleontological Area, representing an uncommon ...

Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3036-3076, November 2026.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to
