Scintigraphy is the gold standard diagnostic technique but is limited by accessibility and cost. It was hypothesised that ultrasonography could be used to visualise caudoproximal humeral stress fractures. Objectives To determine the utility

Anti‐Predation and Size‐Dependent Gas Exchange Functions of Amazonian Architect Cicada Towers
Clay towers built by cicada nymphs before metamorphosis are poorly understood. We experimentally show that towers of the Amazonian cicada Guyalna chlorogena reduce predation risk and exhibit size‐dependent growth responses to gas exchange obstruction, supporting their interpretation as adaptive extended phenotypes.
