ABSTRACT Objective This retrospective cohort study aimed to compare the effects of tooth‐bone‐borne mini‐implant‐assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) and tooth‐borne (Hyrax) rapid palatal expansion (RPE) techniques on the pterygopalatine suture (PPS) and the opening pattern of the midpalatal suture (MPS).

ABSTRACT Background Orthognathic surgery is a surgical procedure to correct dentofacial deformities, improving function and facial aesthetics. Method This case report highlights the use of the short split sagittal osteotomy (SSSO), a modified technique proposed by Posnick, in treating a 32‐year‐old female patient presenting with retrognathia (Class II ...

Ecology of River Dolphins and Fish at Confluence Aggregations in the Peruvian Amazon
Amazon River dolphins often form multi-species aggregations at water confluences. This study used a multi-year data set to examine dolphins, fish, and geomorphology at dolphin aggregations. Methods included dolphin transect surveys, dolphin point counts,

Scents of care: Multispecies relations in Pakistan's heatwave
Abstract This article examines how odour, intensified by heat, shapes the sensory aspects of social and multispecies relations in Pakistan. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Kasur's tanneries and Lahore's animal shelters during a period of record‐breaking heat, it analyses how smell structures inclusion and exclusion, mediates encounters with humans

The coexistence of sympatric species, which share similar ecological requirements and compete for resources in the same area, requires mechanisms to reduce interspecific competition. In the Azores, common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) and Atlantic spotted

Green Refrontierisation: Critical Cartographies of the Hydrogen Rush in Africa
Short Abstract This article provides a critical cartographic analysis of the green hydrogen (GH2) maps present within the reports of European states, lobby groups and investment bodies to examine the role of geographical knowledge in the production of low‐carbon energy frontiers. It identifies three spatio‐political strategies present within these maps

Abstract figure legend Exercise‐induced increases in forearm venous plasma and serum brain‐derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) are often assumed to be indicative of release from the brain. Sixteen healthy and physically fit adults (20–40 years old) were recruited to investigate whether exercise‐induced changes in forearm venous mature BDNF (mBDNF) and ...

Energetic savings of bow-riding dolphins
Bow-riding occurs when dolphins swim in the pressure waves at the front of a vessel. Bow-riding is hypothesized to be “fun” for dolphins or to save them energy although the energetics have not been explored.

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin
Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

Mark-recapture techniques are fundamental for assessing marine mammal population dynamics and individual temporal patterns. Since biases imposed by field conditions are generally unknown, we simulated variations in sampling effort (m) and maximum ...
