Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Last year, we challenged the view that large‐bodied theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex resembled primates in cognition and behavior, a proposition made by Herculano‐Houzel in 2023. More recently, Jensen et al. have criticized our work on this topic, raising methodological and conceptual issues.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract An exquisitely preserved, isolated partial petrosal with associated fragmentary stapes is described from the Vastan Lignite Mine (Gujarat, India), dated to the early Eocene (~54.5 Ma). Several anatomical traits (e.g., large petrosal plate; posterolateral entry of the internal carotid artery to the tympanic cavity; bony tubes surrounding the ...

Migrant success in UK Education: Are there lessons for government social mobility policy?
British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.Abstract The school achievement and career aspirations of 23 sixth form students at a multi‐cultural urban academy in the UK are explored through interviews. The sample includes 16 s‐generation migrants, 6 UK‐born students with migrant parents and 1 UK‐born student, selected to represent a cohort of over 300 post‐16 learners.

Strategies for Greater Inclusion of Indigenous Students in College Science Programs
Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The substantial underrepresentation of American Indian, Alaskan Native, and Native Hawaiʻian (AI/AN/NH) students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) majors at United States colleges and universities results from systemic barriers in higher education.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

The current status of human-elephant conflict in Kenya
Pachyderm, 1995 Summarises the present human-elephant conflict situation in Kenya. The estimated population of 24,000 animals is much less that two decades earlier, but the interactions with the expanding human population, particularly that which is agriculturally based have far greater economic and social ramifications.

The evidence base for ranger patrol effectiveness in conservation and how to improve it
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ranger patrols are a cornerstone of wildlife protection efforts around the world and occur across all ecological governance systems. Evidence that patrols reduce threats to wildlife and enable their recovery has not been systematically examined previously.
