Scaling and ecomorphology of lagomorph body shape and appendicular skeleton

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Body shape is one of the most prominent features of phenotypic variation. Yet, mammalian body shapes are poorly quantified and the underlying components contributing to its diversity and its relationship to other skeletal components are rarely tested.

Cortical bone geometry and static gravitational loads in neosauropod dinosaurs: Implications for biomechanical constraints on terrestrial gigantism

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Sauropod dinosaurs achieved unprecedented terrestrial gigantism, raising questions about the biomechanical limits of bone under extreme gravitational loads. We estimated static gravitational pressures (Pg) on appendicular cortical bone in neosauropods, including diplodocoids, brachiosaurids, and titanosaurs.

Sport, Agency and Pigeon Snaring in the Ancient Tongan Chiefdom

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pigeon snaring was an élite sport in the traditional Tongan chiefdom, undertaken on purpose‐built mounds known as sia heu lupe. LiDAR imagery combined with field survey and mound documentation on the island of Tongatapu has identified a comprehensive corpus of these sites.

Trends and Current Situation of China's Meat Sector

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the world's largest meat producer, consumer, and importer, China's meat sector has undergone profound transformation over the past decade, driven by biological crises (e.g., African Swine Fever), environmental policies, and global market integration. This study analyzes the sector's production restructuring, consumption diversification, and
