The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

A biomimetic ducted nipple reveals gestational age‐dependent deficits in suction generation in a neonatal pig model

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract All infant mammals must suckle in order to effectively acquire milk from a nipple. Yet, not all infants are able to do so. Preterm infants in particular face significant feeding challenges, often failing to establish successful breastfeeding due to complex neurophysiologic challenges.

Human digital Meissner's corpuscles are not doubly innervated

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent studies have shown that murine and avian Meissner‐like corpuscles are innervated by two distinct mechanoreceptor afferents with different functional properties. In addition, there is evidence that one subpopulation of Meissner corpuscles of monkeys is doubly innervated by mechanoreceptors and nociceptors.

Multivariate Analysis of Hematological Stress Biomarkers and Welfare Domains in Organic and Intensive Pig Farming in Italy: A Pilot Study

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Intensive or organic farming systems may expose pigs to management or environmental challenges. Our preliminary results concluded that organic farming might enhance adaptive immune function, showing that improvements in welfare can translate into measurable immunological benefits, based on the correlation between welfare assessment and physiological ...

Integration of Nutrition and Organic Agriculture Framework in Managing Gastrointestinal Nematodes in Ruminants

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Gastrointestinal nematode infections damage the gastrointestinal epithelial tissues of ruminants, affecting nutrient utilization and overall production performance. This review outlines host‐gastrointestinal nematode interactions and discusses integrated control strategies, including nutritional supplementation, grazing management, vaccines, and ...
