Balancing mechanics and metabolism: Elevational variation in the microanatomy of hummingbird flight muscle

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Factors varying along elevational gradients impose strong aerodynamic and physiological constraints on powered flight, yet the internal microanatomical variation associated with elevational context in animals under such conditions remains poorly understood.

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...

Influence of Dynamical Friction on the Unstable Manifolds of Lagrange Points in Barred Galaxies

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Some time ago the idea has been proposed that rings and spirals in barred galaxies are shaped by the unstable manifolds of the Lagrange points sitting near the ends of the bar. The topic of the present article is an investigation of whether the numerical support for this suggestion can be improved by the inclusion of dynamical friction into ...

Cortical Network Overconnectivity Relates to Sensory, Cognitive, and Social Dimensions in Young Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder

open access: yesAutism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The heterogeneity in both the neurobiological mechanisms and the phenotypic presentations of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) poses a major challenge to clinical and translational research. Alterations in functional connectivity (FC) have been associated with ASD, yet it remains unclear whether and how divergent brain network properties may ...

Ant Diversity of the Xisha Islands: Community Structure, Exotic Species Colonization, and Ecological Functions in a Tropical Coral Archipelago

open access: yesBiological Diversity, EarlyView.
The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.
