Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.

Drivers of tail evolution in squamates and their implications for the fossorial origin of snakes

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The axial skeleton serves as the primary structural support in all vertebrates and is subdivided into five distinct regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and caudal. Relaxation of constraints acting on the terminal end of the axial skeleton has led to remarkable variation in caudal vertebrae number across Squamata.

Comparative Meta‐Analysis of Antimicrobial Peptides in Aquatic and Terrestrial Livestock Species

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A global meta‐analysis of 58 studies (926 effect sizes and 29 species across five taxa) revealed that dietary antimicrobial peptides generally improve growth performance, blood metabolites, and immune responses. The greatest benefits were observed in omnivorous livestock, such as pigs and chickens. Dose‐duration effects were evident. An optimal outcome

Trends and Current Situation of China's Meat Sector

Animal 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

Autoantibodies to Joint‐Related Peptides Are Associated with Onset of Rheumatoid Arthritis in Presymptomatic Seronegative Individuals

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective To identify autoantibodies in presymptomatic individuals that associate with the onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to distinguish early RA from osteoarthritis (OA), particularly in individuals lacking classic RA serological markers. Methods We analyzed serum and plasma from three cohorts: pre‐symptomatic individuals who later developed ...
