Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Diverse Circular DNA Viral Communities in Blood, Oral, and Fecal Samples of Captive Lemurs

Viruses
Few studies have addressed viral diversity in lemurs despite their unique evolutionary history on the island of Madagascar and high risk of extinction. Further, while a large number of studies on animal viromes focus on fecal samples, understanding viral

Plasma Amyloid Is Associated with White Matter and Subcortical Alterations and Is Modulated by Age and Seasonal Rhythms in Mouse Lemur Primates

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2018
Accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides in the brain is a critical early event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorder.

The morphology of the oval window in Paranthropus robustus compared to humans and other modern primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The oval window (OW) is an opening connecting the inner and middle ear. Its area has been shown to consistently scale with body mass (BM) in primates, and has been used alongside semi‐circular canal (SCC) size to differentiate Homo sapiens and fossil hominins, including Paranthropus robustus.

Parent-offspring turn-taking dynamics influence parents’ song structure and elaboration in a singing primate

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Parent-offspring interactions are essential to interpret animal social evolution and behavior, but their role in mediating acoustic communication in animals that interact vocally is still unclear.

Familiars: representing Facebook users’ social behaviour through a reflective playful experience [PDF]

, 2009
In this paper, we describe the design and development of a social game called Familiars. Inspired by the daemons in Pullman’s “Dark Material” trilogy, Familiars are animal companions that sit on your Facebook profile and change into different animal ...

But how does it smell? An investigation of olfactory bulb size among living and fossil primates and other euarchontoglirans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Analysis of cranial endocast data of 181 extant and 41 fossil species from Euarchontoglires shows that there was a reduction in olfactory bulb size in Crown Primates, but that there were also subsequent reductions in various other primate clades (Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Platyrrhini, crown Cercopithecoidea, Hominoidea).

A Multiagent Framework Coordinating One-to-Many Concurrent Composite Negotiations in a Multistage Postpaid P2P Energy Trading Model

IEEE Open Journal of Industry Applications
Fast-growing distributed energy resources, prosumers, and electric vehicles risk overloading the grid and would require costly infrastructure expansion. In this respect, local energy markets seem to be a promising solution that enables the participation ...

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Smart Metering as a Regulatory and Technological Enabler for Flexibility in Distribution Networks: Incentives, Devices, and Protocols

Energies
The digital transformation of low-voltage distribution networks demands a renewed perspective on both regulatory frameworks and metering technologies. This article explores the intersection between incentive structures and metering technologies, focusing
