Black Fugitivity in the Sporting Workplace: The Story of Eniola Aluko

Gender, Work &Organization, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Being a Black fugitive involves constant movement: to find and cultivate spaces of safety and hope. In this paper, I curate a sporting archive about the UK Black women's elite football player Eniola Aluko to read her as a Black fugitive. I demonstrate how she traversed a racist and anti‐Black sporting workplace—where she was unfairly demonized

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

SkatingVerse: A large‐scale benchmark for comprehensive evaluation on human action understanding

IET Computer Vision
Human action understanding (HAU) is a broad topic that involves specific tasks, such as action localisation, recognition, and assessment. However, most popular HAU datasets are bound to one task based on particular actions.

Explosive Strength and Speed as Potential Determinants of Success in Youth Figure Skating Competitions

Applied Sciences
This study aimed to determine the extent to which explosive and reactive strength of the lower limbs, as well as acceleration in running and skating speed, predict figure skating competition results in youth skaters.

Angle information assisting skeleton-based actions recognition [PDF]

PeerJ Computer Science
In human skeleton-based action recognition, graph convolutional networks (GCN) have shown significant success. However, existing state-of-the-art methods struggle with complex actions, such as figure skating, where performance is often unsatisfactory ...

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

Distribution and ecology of the four Macrourus species by‐caught in the longline fishery at South Georgia, Southern Ocean

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although Macrourus species are the main by‐catch across Southern Ocean longline fisheries, including around South Georgia, the lack of species‐specific data has hindered effective management and ecological understanding. Aggregation of macrourids at genus level masks critical interspecific differences in life‐history strategies and ...

Listening to tuna: Acoustic characterization of captive juvenile yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The effectiveness of passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) for studying marine biodiversity highly relies on comprehensive libraries of species‐specific sounds. While sound production is well‐documented in reef and freshwater fishes, the acoustic behaviour of ecologically and economically vital pelagic species like tunas still remains largely ...

Quantifying post‐release behaviour of a critically endangered elasmobranch over two capture events using high‐resolution archival tag data

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract During catch‐and‐release angling, highly resident species are susceptible to multiple recapture events. Biologging offers the opportunity to study post‐release behaviour in detail; however, most studies have focused on a single capture‐release event.
