The evolutionary biology of dance without frills [PDF]
, 2016 Recently psychologists have taken up the question of whether dance is reliant on unique human adaptations, or whether it is rooted in neural and cognitive mechanisms shared with other species 1, 2. In its full cultural complexity, human dance clearly has

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.The development of the medial pterygoid plate (MPP) is followed in mouse embryos, highlighting its neural crest origin and complex development via both endochondral and membranous ossification. Using transgenic mice, the secondary cartilage of the MPP is shown to direct the path of the tensor veli palatini.

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.

Element concentrations in tissues reveal spatial structure of Atlantic walrus management stocks
The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.Differences in tissue element concentrations confirm geographic differentiation between 2 of Canada's walrus management stocks but reveal additional spatial structure within the largest stock that may have management implications. Abstract Ensuring harvested animal populations are managed at appropriate scales requires an understanding of underlying ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.In this work, we integrate existing knowledge on interaction strengths into a conceptual model of the Svalbard Ecological Network. We also highlight current knowledge gaps and challenges in establishing a robust baseline of species interactions in the region.
