Temporal dynamics in functional fruit traits of native and invasive fleshy fruited plants in subtropical Andean forests

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Fruits encompass the energetic and material flow between both interacting parties in frugivore‐mediated seed dispersal. Since fruit traits matter in frugivores' foraging decisions, the temporal dynamics of fruit traits might influence interaction outcomes.

In Defence of Food: A Comparative Study of Conversas' and Moriscas' Dietary Laws as a Form of Cultural Resistance in the Early Modern Crown of Aragon

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This research explores the adaptive strategies employed by Conversas (Christian women of Jewish origin) and Moriscas (Christian women of Muslim origin) in navigating adversity, particularly in their interactions with inquisitorial authorities in the early modern Crown of Aragon. This study analyses these women's efforts to uphold religious and

STREETS AS STAGES: Traffic Enforcement and the Competition for Cultural Growth in China

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In keeping with China’s desire to build soft power to parallel its economic growth, the policing of city streets has moved to the forefront as a mechanism for moral regulation and improving urban prestige. Under pressure to civilize their citizenry, many Chinese cities have become entrepreneurial cities within a type of cultural growth ...

Effect of dietary fiber and genetic strain on the performance and energy balance of broiler chickens

Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2013
The experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of dietary fiber on the performance and energy balance of broiler chickens of a fast-growing strain (Cobb500) and a slow-growing strain (Label Rokens during the period of 1 one to 42 days of used In ...

Three methods of estimating age‐at‐death using three different regions on the os coxa

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding population diversity is necessary for the development of forensic anthropology methods that address population affinity. The commonly used age‐at‐death estimation methods for adult skeletal remains are based on American data sets, which include individuals with both European and African population affinities.

Visual Satire Under German Censorship: The Card Game Pharo in Johann Heinrich Ramberg's Illustrations and in Contemporary Descriptions

Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines image–text relations in German illustrations of gambling around 1800, specifically focusing on the card game Pharo and the artist Johann Heinrich Ramberg. It shows Ramberg's technique of reuse and variation as well as the degree of satire in the designs and their accompanying descriptive or fictional texts.

Genotype by environment interactions in relation to growth traits in slow growing chickens

Genetics Selection Evolution, 2007
Since feed conversion ratio (FCR) is higher in slow-growing "Label Rouge" chickens than in broiler chickens, it is important to work on its improvement in this breed. However, this involves rearing animals in cages (C), an environment very different from

Fluid/function correlation using AI‐based quantification versus central subfield thickness in treatment‐naïve and pre‐treated patients with neovascular AMD in a real‐world setting

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To investigate the association between best‐corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and quantitative macular fluid volumes, compared to central subfield thickness (CST) in treatment‐naïve and previously treated patients with active neovascular age‐related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Effect of dietary fiber, genetic strain and age on the digestive metabolism of broiler chickens

Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, 2013
In this study, 360 male broilers, out of which 240 of a fast-growing strain (Cobb500), and 120 of a slow-growing strain (Label Rouge), were used to evaluate the effect of dietary fiber on digesta transit time and digestive metabolism during the period of
