Signaling uniqueness: The psycholinguistic effect of language precision on product perceptions

Journal of Consumer Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This research reveals a psycholinguistic effect whereby more precise words in product communications increase consumer perceptions of product uniqueness. Drawing on Categorization Theory (Cognitive Psychology, 7, 1975, 573; Foundations of cognitive psychology: Core readings, 2002, MIT Press, 251), the authors propose that more precise words in

Let's Talk About Bone Cylinders. Taphonomy of Carnivores and Humans

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACTBone cylinders are a distinctive structure predominantly produced by durophagous carnivoran species during the consumption of long bones, in which the diaphyseal canal remains intact while both epiphyses are removed or consumed. This study evaluates the significance of this morphology, traditionally attributed to extant and extinct hyena ...

Integrating vision, audition and olfaction traits: a roadmap for contrasting sensory ecologies of birds and rodents

Oikos, EarlyView.
Sensory ecology seeks to understand how organisms detect and use information from their environment, yet comparative analyses across multiple sensory modalities remain rare. Here, we present a roadmap for contrasting the sensory ecologies of birds and rodents using surrogate morphological and acoustic traits associated with vision, audition, and ...

Prevalence of Exposure to Feline Immunodeficiency Virus in Exotic Felid Species

, 1993
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) is a novel lentivirus that causes T-cell deficiency in the domestic cat (Felis catus). Recent studies have revealed the existence of antigenically similar lentiviruses in a large number of nondomestic felid species. We
