Diet composition of the Red‐billed curassow (Crax blumenbachii) and its role as seed disperser in the Atlantic Forest: conservation insights

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Forest fragmentation and defaunation are major drivers of biodiversity loss in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil, where 70–90% of tree species depend on animal‐mediated seed dispersal. Reintroduction of large frugivores, such as cracids, is being used to restore species populations and lost ecological functions.

Trade Liberalization and Labor Market Monopsony Power: Evidence From China

Review of International Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We study the effect of trade liberalization on firms' monopsony power in the labor market. We estimate firm‐specific markdowns from production data in the manufacturing industry and document the trends in China between 1998 and 2007. Taking China's entry to the WTO as a policy shock, we use a difference‐in‐differences (DiD) approach combined ...

Biomechanical comparison of the bone‐screw‐fastener to conventional cortical buttress screw in a simulated ex vivo model of equine midbody proximal sesamoid bone fracture repair

Veterinary Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To compare implant failure and gap displacement characteristics of simulated medial mid‐body proximal sesamoid bone (PSB) fractures repaired with bone‐screw‐fasteners (BSF) or cortical screws (CS) in single or double screw configurations. Study design Ex vivo experimental study.

Affective CT‐touch attenuates cortical responses and subjective attention during temporal summation of second pain

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The study investigated the modulatory effects of affective touch on temporal summation of second pain (TSSP) in 32 romantic couples (N = 64). The design included a dyadic session (partner's CT‐optimal stroking vs. static touch) and an individual session (robotic CT‐touch vs. vibration control).
