Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Changes in the Location of the Second Mesiobuccal Canal Orifice After Canal Preparation in Maxillary First Molars

open access: yesAustralian Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluated angular and linear positional changes of the second mesiobuccal (MB2) canal orifice in maxillary first molars and proposed a guideline for its localization. Twenty‐eight extracted maxillary first molars with four canals were analysed. After access cavity preparation, all canals except MB2 were instrumented. The initial and

Morphology of Guard Hairs in Amazonian Marsupials: Intergeneric Variation, Habitat and Habit Association in a Phylogenetic Framework of the Order Didelphimorphia

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cuticle and medulla of guard hairs exhibit distinct morphological patterns among mammalian species. To investigate this variability in marsupials from the Brazilian Amazon, we analysed guard hairs from nine Didelphimorphia species and incorporated data from an additional 25 didelphid species.

IRT‐based response style models and related methodology: Review and commentary

open access: yesBritish Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We provide a review and commentary on recent methodological research related to item response theory (IRT) modelling of response styles in psychological measurement. Our review describes the different categories of IRT models that have been proposed, their associated assumptions and extensions, and the varying purposes they can serve.

Fused Collapsing for Wide BVH Construction

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We propose a novel approach for constructing wide bounding volume hierarchies on the GPU by integrating a simple bottom‐up collapsing procedure within an existing binary bottom‐up BVH builder. Our approach directly constructs a wide BVH without traversing a temporary binary BVH as done by previous approaches and achieves 1.4 – 1.6 × lower ...
