Complex dynamics in coevolution models with ratio-dependent functional response

open access: yes, 2009
We explore the complex dynamical behavior of two simple predator-prey models of biological coevolution that on the ecological level account for interspecific and intraspecific competition, as well as adaptive foraging behavior.

Hub genes and diagnostic model associated with mitochondrial function in Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder, and mitochondrial dysfunction has been confirmed in AD patients and mouse models. However, the pathogenic genes associated with AD and early diagnostic methods based on mitochondrial function remain to be explored.

Predation of eggs and incubating females in willow ptarmigan Lagopus l. lagopus

open access: yesFauna Norvegica
Nest predation is a major cause of reproductive loss in many ground-nesting birds. During 15 consecutive years the predation of nests and females throughout the incubation season were recorded in a willow ptarmigan Lagopus l.

Two‐stage portal flow modulation for volume‐augmented grafts in living donor liver transplantation: Rat model validation

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study presents a two‐stage portal flow modulation strategy for graft procurement in living donor liver transplantation with the aim of expanding left lateral lobe grafts, thereby circumventing technical and anatomical limitations of conventional approaches.

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.

Productivity and tolerance reveal the shift from competition to facilitation among multiple species under multiple stressors

open access: yesEcological Indicators
Interspecific competition and facilitation play essential roles in community structure and have been widely demonstrated between pairwise species.

Patterns of interspecific variation in labial microarchitecture among anthropoid primates and the evolution of the hominin lips

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Comparative histological and semi‐automated image analysis of primate lips: Masson's trichrome‐stained sagittal sections were segmented to quantify the connective tissue, adipose, and muscular components, enabling interspecific comparisons of labial architecture.

Gonadal development in scorpion mud‐turtles, Kinosternon scorpioides, in a controlled environment

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Stage 20 was identified as the critical point for gonadal differentiation in Kinosternon scorpioides, providing key insights into sex determination. These findings enhance conservation strategies by supporting reproductive management and population viability in both in situ and ex situ programs. Abstract Research on gonadal development including sexual
