Sensory Neuroscience, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plantar and dorsal von Frey (VF) filament assays are widely used to assess mechanical nociception in rodents following peripheral nerve injury, spinal cord injury, and analgesic interventions. However, the effects of repeated testing on withdrawal thresholds and potential sensitization have not been well defined.

The effect of romifidine on endoscopic grading of laryngeal function in horses
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background To our knowledge, the effect of sedation with romifidine on the grading of laryngeal function in horses has not been studied. Our objective was to examine the effects of romifidine on the grading of laryngeal function and the cross‐sectional area of the rima glottis (CSARG). Methods Ten horses underwent three endoscopic examinations

A Tale of Appendages: Investigating Limb and Tail Variation in Salamanders
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We analyzed limb and tail proportions in 44% of known salamander species using a phylogenetic comparative approach. Our results revealed significant variation among families and ecological groups, with aquatic species showing longer limbs and basal lineages having shorter tails.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study reports two isolated feather fossils from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation in northeastern China. Morphological analyses identified them as the earliest known feathered theropods (potentially including avian) in the Jehol Biota. This finding reveals a complex ecosystem at the dawn of the Jehol Biota, bridging the temporal and faunal ...
