The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Descriptive, comparative, and functional anatomy of the facial musculature in cattle (Bos taurus)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Facial expressions can provide insight into animal emotions and pain, but no standardized system for assessing the entire facial display in cattle (Bos taurus Linnaeus) exists. The Facial Action Coding System (FACS), originally developed for humans, identifies distinct facial movements based on mimetic muscles.

Application of GWO-SVM Algorithm in Arc Detection of Pantograph

IEEE Access, 2020
High-speed train will produce pantograph arc during the driving process, which is harmful to pantograph-catenary system. In order to reduce pantograph-catenary system damage, a method based on Gray Wolf algorithm to optimize the binary Support Vector ...

Multi‐omic profiling reveals immune cell priming signature linked to lupus prognosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multi‐organ disease with widespread immune dysregulation and significant unmet clinical need. Blood‐based gene expression studies have advanced our understanding of SLE pathogenesis but may overlook critical tissue‐specific mechanisms that drive disease heterogeneity and progression.

Single‐cell level characterization of B cell depletion and repopulation following rituximab in systemic lupus erythematosus

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Rituximab, a CD20+ B cell depletion therapy, is frequently used to treat systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). However, variability in patient response highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the underlying immune cell dynamics of B cell depletion and repopulation.

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Japanese wolves are most closely related to dogs and share DNA with East Eurasian dogs

Nature Communications
Although the domestic dog’s origin is still unclear, this lineage is believed to have been domesticated from an extinct population of gray wolves, which is expected to be more closely related to dogs than to other populations of gray wolves.

Fences can support restoration of human-dominated ecosystems when rewilding with large predators [PDF]

, 2018
The use of fences in conservation can be controversial, as artificial barriers constrain natural behaviour and ecological dynamics. However, in the case of large predators inhabiting protected areas within a hostile human-dominated landscape, predators ...
