Impact of Fiber Morphology and Content on the Thermal Stability, and Mechanical Performance of Maple Wood Fiber‐Polypropylene Composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, natural‐fiber‐reinforced polymers have gained significant attention due to their sustainability and enhanced properties. This study used Canadian maple wood fiber as reinforcement in a polypropylene (PP). Fiber length and fiber content are known as key factors affecting the properties of the composites.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

Histochemical indications for a chemically complex signal produced by the cervical gill slit gland of the pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The pygmy sperm whale (Kogia breviceps) possesses an exocrine gland associated with its false gill slit pigmentation pattern. The cervical gill slit gland is a compound tubuloalveolar gland that produces a holocrine secretion and displays maturational changes in size and secretory histology. While the morphology of the cervical gill slit gland

Small fish, large variation: Morphological diversity of Weberian apparatus in Noturus catfishes and ecological implications

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Weberian apparatus is a hearing specialization unique to the otophysan fishes, and an unexpected degree of morphological variation exists in species of the Noturus catfishes. Our aim in this study is to investigate relationships between morphological variations and ecology that may drive this variation.
