Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...

Direct Yaw Moment Control for Distributed Drive Electric Vehicles Based on Hierarchical Optimization Control Framework

open access: yesMathematics
Direct yaw moment control (DYC) can effectively improve the yaw stability of four-wheel distributed drive electric vehicles (4W-DDEVs) under extreme conditions, which has become an indispensable part of active safety control for 4W-DDEVs.

Green Is the New Gold: Redefining Opulent Lifestyle Through Organic Food Purchases

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prior studies based on the Theory of Planned Behavior mostly examined the effects of health and environmental concerns on organic food consumption; however, few addressed the paradoxical relationships in the context of opulent or symbolic decorum.

Leveraging Reverse Engineering for CSCM Practices: Demystifying the Roles of Compositional Capability and Cooperative Orientation Under Humane Orientation and Competition Intensity

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular supply chain management (CSCM) practices are seen as a solution for addressing society's many significant environmental challenges. Although existing studies recognise the importance of reverse engineering in combating poverty, there is limited knowledge about its effectiveness in shaping CSCM practices to address climate change and ...

Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.
