Sexual and Age‐Related Morphological Variations in the Pelvis of Lama guanicoe guanicoe (Artiodactyla: Camelidae)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Zoology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
This study explores the scope of sexual and age‐related discrimination in the hemipelvises of Lama guanicoe guanicoe (Müller 1776), a species that lacks postcranial secondary sexual characteristics. Using two‐dimensional geometric morphometric techniques, changes in shape and size of the coxae bones from 50 individuals of both sexes and varying ...

Structural and Functional Properties of Araucaria araucana and Araucaria angustifolia Seed Proteins as a Plant‐Based Food Source

open access: yesSustainable Food Proteins, Volume 3, Issue 4, December 2025.
Morphologically, A. angustifolia seeds were significantly larger, while A. araucana exhibited more regular, triangular shapes. Proximate composition revealed a carbohydrate‐rich profile in both species, with a significantly higher lipid content in A. araucana. Amino acid analysis showed similar profiles, with high levels of aspartic and glutamic acids.
