Wealth inequality and epidemics in the Republic of Venice (1400–1800)

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article analyses wealth inequality in the Republic of Venice during 1400–1800. The availability of a large database of homogeneous inequality measurements allows us to produce the most in‐depth study of the factors affecting inequality at the local level available thus far for any preindustrial society.

A natural variation within duplicated AsWRKY49‐D2 drives the subgenomic functional divergence of homeologs in salt response of allohexaploid oats

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Transcriptome analysis of oats under salt stress identified ten important salt‐responsive transcription factor families, which show extensive functional divergence among three oat subgenomes. Further integration with a genome‐wide association study under salt stress identified the AsWRKY49‐D2 gene, whose elite haplotype holds substantial potential for ...

Fit for purpose? Analysis of the relationship between skull, beak shape and feeding ecology in Psittaciformes

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Psittaciformes exhibit high levels of morphological diversity, particularly in skull and beak structure, previously linked to diet and body size. Although there were some levels of significance between diet and beak shape, body mass was a much stronger co‐variate. Diet is not determining beak shape within the clade.
