Sharpening our understanding of saber‐tooth biomechanics

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Saber‐teeth are a striking example of convergent evolution in vertebrate predators, having evolved multiple times in mammals and their early ancestors. While there is broad consensus that saber‐toothed taxa employed a distinct biting strategy compared to conical‐toothed carnivores, like the lion, the precise mechanics and variability of this ...

A proximodistal gradient in bone structure and mechanics in the wings of Seba's short‐tailed bat, Carollia perspicillata

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Bats possess the remarkable ability to fly, and with this, distinctive wing bone properties. We investigated the structural, mechanical, and compositional properties of the humerus, radius, metacarpals, and proximal and middle phalanges of Carollia perspicillata, an approximately 15 g fruit‐eating bat native to the Neotropics.

Exploring the Roles of Tuna‐Associated Acinetobacter sp. YFT067: Implications for Host Health and Metabolism

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study firstly isolated a tuna‐derived gut probiotic Acinetobacter seifertii YFT067. Dietary administration of YFT067 played significant roles in promoting growth performance, SCFAs production, lipid absorption, and metabolism of the host, indicating YFT067 as a promising probiotic candidate for enhancing tuna aquaculture productivity through ...

Valuing curation infrastructures

open access: yesJournal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study uses a theoretical lens of infrastructural dimensions to examine stakeholders' perceptions of the value of curation, focusing on the social science data repository, the Inter‐university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR).

Deep Eutectic Solvents as More Sustainable Dispersion Media for Beeswax Coatings from Cultural Heritage: Experimental Insights and Theoretical Modeling

open access: yesChemistry – An Asian Journal, EarlyView.
The work reports a combined theoretical modeling and experimental study aimed at evaluating the appropriate use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) as green dispersion media for beewax removal from cultural heritage surfaces. Abstract Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are gaining attention as sustainable alternatives to traditional organic solvents ...
