Exploring dietary adaptations in Ursus minimus: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the mandible
Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 443-453, April 2026.Using 3D geometric morphometrics, the dietary adaptations of the extinct Auvergne bear (Ursus minimus) are analysed. Its mandibular morphology aligns more closely with omnivorous rather than insectivorous bears, challenging current ideas. The extinct bear Ursus minimus, which lived in Europe during the Pliocene and possibly Early Pleistocene, is ...

English-language learners’ problem solving in Spanish versus English [PDF]
, 2010 To explore the role of language in English Language Learners (ELLs)´ problem solving, we compare the performance of a group of Latino first graders when working in Spanish and in English on two equivalent sets of story problems.

Predictions on the core mass of Jupiter and of giant planets in general
, 2011 More than 80 giant planets are known by mass and radius. Their interior structure in terms of core mass, number of layers, and composition however is still poorly known. An overview is presented about the core mass Mcore and envelope mass of metals MZ in

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 503-516, April 2026.Bears deviate from the inhibitory cascade model (ICM) during molar size evolution, with two significant deviations linked to changes in diet: Ursus minimus and Ursus deningeri. Many bears exhibit a ‘partial ICM’, highlighting the relationship between relative molar size, dietary adaptations and dental development across different species.

Nuclear symmetry energy in a modified quark meson coupling model
, 2015 We study nuclear symmetry energy and the thermodynamic instabilities of asymmetric nuclear matter in a self-consistent manner by using a modified quark-meson coupling model where the confining interaction for quarks inside a nucleon is represented by a ...

Nuclear symmetry energy with mesonic cross-couplings in the effective chiral model
, 2017 The effective chiral model is extended by introducing the contributions from the cross-couplings between isovector and isoscalar mesons. These cross-couplings are found to be instrumental in improving the density content of the nuclear symmetry energy ...

Personality, Stereotypy, and Responses to Crate Entry in Captive Giant Pandas
AnimalsUnderstanding how individual personality traits relate to stress and abnormal behaviors is essential for improving animal welfare and management. However, few studies have quantitatively examined these relationships in giant pandas.

Habitat Use and Selection by Giant Pandas
PLOS ONE, 2016 Animals make choices about where to spend their time in complex and dynamic landscapes, choices that reveal information about their biology that in turn can be used to guide their conservation. Using GPS collars, we conducted a novel individual-based analysis of habitat use and selection by the elusive and endangered giant pandas (Ailuropoda ...
