Dynamics of postnatal bone development and epiphyseal synostosis in the caprine autopod
Abstract Background Bones develop to structurally balance strength and mobility. Bone developmental dynamics are influenced by whether an animal is ambulatory at birth. Precocial species, which are ambulatory at birth, develop advanced skeletal maturity in utero and experience postnatal development under mechanical loading.

Ontogeny of RSPO1, FOXL2, and RUNX1 during ovarian differentiation in the marsupial tammar wallaby
Abstract Background RSPO1 and FOXL2 are female sex‐determining genes involved in the differentiation and organization of the ovary in some eutherian mammals. Mutations or loss of function of these genes are associated with partial to full sex reversal in mice, humans, and goats.

Maternal Gestational Low‐Grade Inflammation and the Risk of Anorexia Nervosa in Daughters
ABSTRACT Objective Prenatal exposures have been suggested to have a programming effect on neural and metabolic development, which may affect the risk of eating disorders. We investigated the association between prospectively measured maternal gestational high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP), an established inflammatory biomarker, and subsequent

Extinct Pleistocene carnivores were diurnal and highly active
There is much contention over the causes and correlates of megafaunal extinctions at the end of the Pleistocene. A major role for human impact such as hunting has been discussed widely. If correct, the overkill hypothesis explains not only why large mammals in general were highly prone to extinction but suggests that extinction may have been selective ...
