Geological Substrate Is Related to Tooth Senescence and Population Dynamic: The Case Study of Alpine Chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra L.)

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In Alpine chamois, the complete wear of the first molar coincides with the beginning of senescence and the progress of tooth wear on calcareous substrate is slower than the one on other substrates, increasing life expectancy. Thus, the first molar wear may actually be considered as an effective descriptor of senescence stage.

A Tale of Appendages: Investigating Limb and Tail Variation in Salamanders

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We analyzed limb and tail proportions in 44% of known salamander species using a phylogenetic comparative approach. Our results revealed significant variation among families and ecological groups, with aquatic species showing longer limbs and basal lineages having shorter tails.

Iron Ore Pricing in China: Financialization Through a Marxist Lens

open access: yesAbacus, EarlyView.
We offer a Marxist interpretation of financialization as we examine the Chinese market for iron ore and the shift in the pricing mechanism from an annual fixed price to an indexed price from 2010. Drawing upon Marx's theory of the circuit of capital, we illustrate an empirical case of financialization that results from the conflict between social ...

Eels as Hosts for Parasitic Mussels: The Importance of Endangered Species Co‐Management

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
The ability of Unionid mussels to utilize eels as hosts has not been investigated thoroughly, particularly in Europe; therefore, we investigated the transformation success of Europe's seven most common unionid species after infestation on the European eel (Anguilla anguilla).
