Pawsitive Connections: Understanding How Informal Pet Interactions Relate to Daily Youth Functioning

Journal of Adolescence, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Human‐animal interaction (HAI) has been linked to well‐being across functional domains and throughout the lifespan. Limited research has explored specific types of informal HAIs with pets or the impact of HAI in daily life. Methods Over 2 weeks in 2021, caregivers of youth (N = 42; ages 6–17, M = 12.21; 50% male) reported daily on

Metabolically similar cohorts of bacteria exhibit strong cooccurrence patterns with diet items and eukaryotic microbes in lizard guts

Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Gut microbiomes perform essential services for their hosts, including helping them to digest food and manage pathogens and parasites. Performing these services requires a diverse and constantly changing set of metabolic functions from the bacteria in the

Automated Profiling of Social Behaviors to Assess the Genetic Basis of Evolution of Aggressive Behaviors in Astyanax mexicanus

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Across the animal kingdom, social behaviors such as aggression are critical for survival and reproductive success. While there is significant variation in social behaviors within and between species, the genetic mechanisms underlying natural variation in social behaviors are poorly understood.

Tracking the Pulse of the Dunes: Seasonal Metabolic Responses of Liolaemus arambarensis to Climatic Variability

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seasonal environmental fluctuations profoundly influence ectothermic vertebrates, regulating their physiology, metabolism, and life cycles. This study investigated the metabolic and morphometric seasonal dynamics of the subtropical sand lizard Liolaemus arambarensis, an endangered species endemic to the coastal dunes of southern Brazil.

Mapping the subgingival HerBiome and HisBiome over the human healthspan

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Understanding the intricate relationship between sex, age, and the oral microbiome is crucial for deciphering the onset and progression of numerous age‐related oral and systemic diseases. Methods Subgingival plaque was collected from 781 periodontally and systemically healthy females and 160 males spanning 0 to 80 years.

Reconstructing Early Human Subsistence in Near Oceania: New Insights From Matenkupkum and Matenbek

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The colonization of New Ireland ~44–40,000 years ago represents the earliest evidence of human occupation in Near Oceania. Yet, the precise impacts of climatic changes on subsistence strategies during the Late Pleistocene, Last Glacial Maximum, and Holocene remain poorly understood.

Linking differences in personality to demography in the wandering albatross

Oikos, EarlyView.
Population dynamics are shaped by individual differences. With a good understanding of the relationships between individual differences and vital rates, population models can be improved to yield more realistic and detailed demographic projections. Personality is expected to shape individual differences in performance.
