Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns

Epilepsia, EarlyView.Abstract Objective In epilepsy, daily treatment provides only symptomatic seizure control, leaving a significant unmet need for a treatment that affects the underlying predisposition to seizures. Here, in a first‐of‐its‐kind study, we test the hypothesis that intermittent treatment of seizure clusters with diazepam in the kainic acid post‐status ...

Real‐time quality and safety monitoring of fruit juice using paper‐based platform
Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.Schematic illustration of a paper‐based biosensor for rapid detection of fruit juice spoilage. Abstract Food spoilage and safety concerns still remain critically challenging within the fruit juice industry, especially as conventional detection methods, though precise, are often too time‐consuming, costly, and reliant on centralized laboratories.
