Impact of fortifiers on donor milk nutrient composition: An experimental study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Preterm infants frequently require human milk fortification to meet their unique nutrients requirements. How commercial fortifiers change essential macronutrients and micronutrients in donor human milk has not been well‐studied. Methods Our sampling frame included milk from approved United States milk bank donors (n = 400), measured

Neo‐Taphonomic Analysis of Prey Bone Remains Accumulated by Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos): A Case of Nests in Southern France

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

Skeletal Trauma and Social Dynamics in Medieval Silves (Southern Portugal): Islamic Versus Christian Populations

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Skeletal trauma provides insight into both accidental injury and interpersonal violence, reflecting everyday risk and social dynamics. This study tests the hypothesis that trauma, particularly among males, was more prevalent in the Islamic population of Silves (9th–13th centuries) than in the subsequent Christian rule (13th century onwards ...

Biology and Predatory Behavior of Metioche vittaticollis (Stal) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae)

JTPP: Journal of Tropical Plant Protection, 2017
Metioche vittaticollis (Stal) is one of the generalist predator in rice field habitat. The biology and predatory behavior were studied in the laboratory. The life cycle of M. vittaticollis (Stal) averaged 40–61 days at 26°-28oC. The eggs were inserted

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens

Oikos, EarlyView.
Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

The niche variation hypothesis predicts hunting returns across human cultures

Oikos, EarlyView.
The niche variation hypothesis (NVH) proposes that a broader population niche arises from greater individual specialization. Despite decades of empirical testing, research remains constrained to non‐human foragers, and the generality of NVH may extend beyond wildlife. The analysis of > 8000 hunting records from 12 human societies across four continents

Unveiling human–wildlife interactions in the context of livestock grazing abandonment and the return of large carnivores, ungulates and vultures: A stakeholder perspective

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Pastoral practices remain a widespread economic activity across European mountain regions. However, the viability of this activity may be threatened by the recovery of large wild vertebrates associated with passive rewilding, leading to the so‐called human–wildlife conflicts.
