Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.Classical approaches for coloration analysis are limited by human low‐resolution phenotyping and genetic analysis. Artificial intelligence allows us to find genes beyond the tip of the iceberg that explain color and pattern diversity in nature. ABSTRACT Pigmentation has long served as a powerful system for exploring gene–trait relationships, yet much ...

What do we really know about the water repellency of feathers?
Journal of Avian BiologyFeathers are complex integument structures that provide birds with many functions. They are vital to a bird's survival, fundamental to their visual displays, and responsible for the evolutionary radiation of the avian class. Feathers provide a protective

Journal of International Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Field visits are common phenomena with non‐governmental organisations in Uganda. During these visits, Ugandan national staff guide visitors on series of meetings and interactions in the field. Following an actor‐oriented approach and drawing on ethnographic data on 14 field visits, this paper understands the field visit as a microcosm for the ...

Organizational Structure Dimensions and Their Impact on JVs and Acquisitions
Strategic Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Managers pursuing transformational growth through inorganic routes typically rely on joint ventures and acquisitions, basing their choices on factors such as target availability, risk propensity, and desired control over operations. This paper theorizes that managers can increase the likelihood of success in such transformations by aligning ...

Annual survival and resource selection of juvenile male wild turkeys in central Tennessee
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.Juvenile male wild turkeys in central Tennessee, USA, selected areas with smaller patch sizes and lower proportions of developed land. Annual survival was 0.73 and decreased as dense land cover such as young and deciduous forest increased and cover types with high visibility decreased. Abstract Documenting juvenile male wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

Dynamics of a Rod Attached to a Rotating Hinge
Macromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The dynamics of a rod attached to a rotating hinge, also interpreted as a physical pendulum in a rotating frame, provide a valuable mechanical model for analyzing the complex oscillatory behavior of helicopter rotor blades. This simplified system captures essential features of blade flapping and in‐plane motions influenced by inertial and ...

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.Abstract Background Home enteral nutrition (HEN) offers clinical benefits and is increasingly used, although handling‐related health risks remain unclear. This study assessed food safety in HEN using a new contamination risk classification. Methods First, the inter‐rater reliability of the Food Safety for Handling HEN checklist was analyzed in 25 ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Landscape features can shape the occurrence and strength of predator–prey interactions by influencing predation risk and prey distribution. In the High Arctic, some bird species select nesting sites with physical features that impede access for their main terrestrial predator, the Arctic fox.
