Hox Gene Variation Drives Morphological Specialization of Humpback Grouper Cromileptes altivelis
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Cromileptes altivelis exhibits a distinctive “sunken head and humpback” morphology, formed through cranial remodeling. Genetic analyses identified unique amino acid variants in Hoxa7a and Hoxa10b, with functional tests confirming their role in enhancing osteoblast activity and driving cranial remodeling.

, 2011 An overwhelming majority of humans are right-handed. Numerous explanations for individual handedness have been proposed, but this population-level handedness remains puzzling. Here we use a minimal mathematical model to explain this population-level hand

Graph‐based Black and White Stylization
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Stippling is an art style forming images from large numbers of small dots. Computer graphics practitioners have proposed numerous algorithms for stippling and stippling variants over the years. In this paper, we propose a black and white image stylization technique in which the image is formed from heterogeneous black and white vector marks ...

Using customs data to understand overlooked trade in non‐CITES birds between Africa and Asia
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The international trade in live birds poses risks to animals, people, and biodiversity. To effectively mitigate these risks, decision‐makers require information on the volume, dynamics, and direction of trade. Despite Africa once being the largest exporter of birds by region, very little data exist on recent trade in live birds not listed on ...

What is distinctive about human thought? [PDF]
, 2010 Descartes famously argued that animals were mere machines, without thought or consciousness. Few would now share this view. But if other animals have conscious lives, what are they like, how do they differ from ours, and how would we ever know anything ...

Distinguishing personal belief from scientific knowledge for the betterment of killer whale welfare – a commentary [PDF]
, 2020 We contest publication of Marino et al. regarding captive killer whale (Orcinus orca) welfare because of misrepresentations of available data and the use of citations that do not support assertions. Marino et al. misrepresent stress response concepts and

A more‐than‐human political ecology of Indonesian songbird trade
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Since its inception, conservation science has considered wildlife trade a problem. In focusing on conservation outcomes, conservationists almost completely ignore the welfare of traded animals and plants and the harms they endure. We developed a political ecology approach that incorporates the interconnectedness of people with animals and ...
