Variation in parrot jaw musculature

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Interspecific morphological differences in some superficial jaw muscles of parrots. Abstract Psittaciformes, the order encompassing parrots and their relatives, are highly diverse and generally known for having a strong beaks used for multiple behaviors. The muscles related to the masticatory apparatus should reflect this functional complexity; however,

Multivariate Analysis of Hematological Stress Biomarkers and Welfare Domains in Organic and Intensive Pig Farming in Italy: A Pilot Study

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Intensive or organic farming systems may expose pigs to management or environmental challenges. Our preliminary results concluded that organic farming might enhance adaptive immune function, showing that improvements in welfare can translate into measurable immunological benefits, based on the correlation between welfare assessment and physiological ...

Scale-dependent effects of forest spatial structure on gross primary productivity across China

Frontiers in Forests and Global Change
Forest spatial structure is a key dimension of ecosystem change, yet its scale-dependent relationships with gross primary productivity (GPP) remain insufficiently understood at large spatial extents.

Coherence‐Gated Wrapped‐Phase InSAR With Matrix‐Based Uncertainty Diagnostics for Burial‐Mound Hotspot Ranking (Sicily, Italy)

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Burial mounds are key elements of Mediterranean funerary landscapes, but in intensively cultivated coastal plains their low‐relief expression is easily obscured by ploughing, levelling and rapidly changing surface conditions, making single‐date observations unreliable.

Spatial and temporal analysis of vegetation dynamics on desertification hotspots of Ceará, Northeastern Brazil

Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) have a distinctive seasonality. The Brazilian Caatinga, the largest SDTF in South America, faces three main types of disturbance: abrupt change, chronic disturbance, and species invasion. Furthermore, droughts and rainfall seasonality have made Caatinga at risk of desertification.

Sustained pharmacodynamic effects of S‐ketamine on cortical excitability and resting‐state brain activity: A randomized, placebo‐controlled trial

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Aims This study aimed to investigate a set of pharmacodynamic biomarkers reflecting acute, delayed and sustained central nervous system effects of S‐ketamine, used as a tool compound for rapid‐acting antidepressant activity, with the goal of informing biomarker strategies for delayed antidepressant effects.

A 2D Clustering Based Hotspot Identification Approach for Spatio-Temporal Crime Prediction

International Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence
This research introduces a method for predicting where crimes will occur based on clustering activity in the area. Hotspots, or locations with a disproportionately high number of crimes, are located by a combination of spatial and temporal grouping ...
