Can you really change your stripes? Stable wing ornamentation suggests limited condition‐dependent signalling in female common eiders

open access: yesIbis, EarlyView.
Variation in the expression of white ornaments, such as flank spots or wing stripes, has previously been related to indices of individual quality in birds. We measured the white wing stripes of colour‐banded female common eiders Somateria mollissima in three islands in Iceland from 2014 to 2023, to determine whether the expression of these ornaments is

We conducted the first radio‐tracking study on Osmoderma barnabita to examine the movement ecology and habitat selection in the Eastern Carpathians. A female recorded the longest movement distance and had larger home ranges than males. It showed a preference for Quercus petraea, with wood mould cavities and DBH as key predictors.

Comparison Between the 2017 EFP/AAP and CDC/AAP Case Definitions on Periodontal Status and Their Association With Risk Factors in an Adult Norwegian Population—Insights From the Tromsø Study: Tromsø7

open access: yesInternational Journal of Dental Hygiene, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives To describe the prevalence, extent and severity of periodontitis in an adult Norwegian population, using the 2017 EFP/AAP and CDC/AAP case definitions, and their associations with potential risk factors for periodontitis. A secondary aim was to explore how the stage and grade of periodontitis shifted when complexity and risk factors

Assessing Argument Quality in L2 Argumentative Writing: Integrating Argument Elements and Intellectual Standards

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many existing rubrics for L2 argumentative writing prioritize form‐based linguistic accuracy and complexity while insufficiently addressing substantive argumentative rigor and effectiveness. This limitation is further complicated by cross‐cultural variation in rhetorical conventions and educational practices, which challenge the direct ...
