Demographic buffering in natural populations: A multi‐level perspective

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We introduce a multi‐level framework that unites stochastic elasticities with nonlinear selection to test demographic buffering. Applying it across mammals reveals a key insight: ecological robustness to variability often decouples from evolutionary constraint, reshaping how we understand resilience under environmental stochasticity.

‘I used to walk around the playground wondering where all my friends had gone’: The reflections of how adults with developmental prosopagnosia made friends in childhood

British Journal of Special Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Current research into developmental prosopagnosia (DP) estimates a high prevalence rate in the general population, but there exist many gaps in the research. More needs to be learned about the lived experience of those with DP and how to identify it in children. Using reflexive thematic analysis, this study explored the lived experience of how

The role of the Eastern Mediterranean in human evolution: recent results from Greece Le rôle du Bassin méditerranéen oriental dans l’évolution humaine : résultats récents en Grèce

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
The Eastern Mediterranean lies directly on the principal migration route for human groups dispersing across Africa, Europe, and Asia. It also encompasses the Balkans, where fauna and flora, as well as hominin populations, are thought to have persisted through glacial periods.

Can Fecal T3 Metabolite Level Fluctuations in European Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) Give Insights on Body Condition and Thermal Stress?

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
European roe deer fecal samples were assayed to investigate the potential fluctuations of fecal thyroid hormone metabolites (FTMs) in response to environmental (e.g., the temperature, local densities) and individual (e.g., sex, age, body, and nutritional conditions) variables.

Validation of Immunoassays for Total Thyroxine and Free Thyroxine and Age and Sex-Related Variation in Thyroid Hormone Serum Concentrations in Orangutans (Pongo sp.). [PDF]

J Med Primatol
ABSTRACT Background Thyroid disease is reported in orangutans, but to properly diagnose and manage these disorders, reference intervals for circulating thyroid hormones are needed. Methods Commercial immunoassay kits for total thyroxine (TT4) and free thyroxine (FT4) were validated for use in orangutans (Pongo spp.).

Differences in Habitat Quality Drive Behavioral Contrasts in Two Family Groups of the Critically Endangered Hainan Gibbon (Nomascus hainanus)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Habitat quality variation drove distinct behavioral strategies: GC (resource‐rich group) behaviors were influenced by food availability, safety and stability, while GE (resource‐scarce group) behaviors relied more on topography, food, and nutrients. Seasonal behavioral flexibility was demonstrated, with food variables dominating in the dry season and ...

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Post-Conflict Affiliative Behaviors Towards Humans in Domestic Dogs (Canis familiaris) [PDF]

, 2016
Social species need conflict-resolution mechanisms to maintain group cohesion and diminish aggression. Reconciliation (affiliative contact between opponents) and consolation (affiliative contact between the victim and an uninvolved third party) have been

A Fast and Accurate Nonlinear Spectral Method for Image Recognition and Registration

, 2006
This article addresses the problem of two- and higher dimensional pattern matching, i.e. the identification of instances of a template within a larger signal space, which is a form of registration. Unlike traditional correlation, we aim at obtaining more
