From Pigeons to Raptors: Avifauna Across the Early Upper Paleolithic Sequence of Manot Cave, Israel
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Avian exploitation during the Early Upper Paleolithic (EUP) is frequently interpreted as a marker of socioeconomic intensification across Europe and the Levant. However, the specific character of avian exploitation in the Levant has remained unexplored due to the scarcity of detailed zooarchaeological analyses. This study addresses this gap by

Landscape heterogeneity shapes the spatial and diet partitioning of a montane carnivore guild
Oikos, EarlyView.Interspecific competition is a structural force in animal communities and can be particularly influential among species with similar taxonomic or ecological characteristics. In carnivore communities, heterogeneity in resource availability and landscape structure can ameliorate competitive interactions, but it is often difficult to quantify the space ...

Optimal foraging can drive emergent initiator‐follower dynamics in social groups
Oikos, EarlyView.Deciding when and where to move is a challenge for group‐living animals as differences in preferences must be resolved for the group to maintain cohesion. In many species, consensus is reached through shared decision‐making, whereby group members initiate group movements by stopping foraging and making directed movements away from a feeding source. Yet,

Age‐Dependent Correlation of Pulmonary Function Impairment and Aortic Arch Stiffness in Mice
Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.This study examined the relationship between aortic arch stiffness and lung function in aging mice. Multiple linear regression modeling showed moderate to strong correlations between the rise in aortic arch stiffness and changes in lung function as the mice progressively aged.

Shallow Nitrogen Vacancy Color Centers in Diamond by Ion Implantation
Advanced Quantum Technologies, EarlyView.This study investigates the formation of shallow nitrogen‐vacancy (NV) centers in CVD diamond through broad‐beam ion implantation across a SiO₂ layer. By adjusting the ion incidence angle, the distribution of NV centers is controlled, as predicted by sytopping and range of ions in matter (SRIM) simulations and confirmed by angle‐resolved X‐ray ...

Facilitating Sodium‐Ion Diffusion in Fe‐Doped Co3O4 for High‐Rate Performance
Small, EarlyView.The limited rate performance of cobalt oxide (Co3O4) materials restricts their applicability in the rapid charge–discharge process of sodium‐ion batteries (SIBs). Iron (Fe) lattice doping can facilitate sodium‐ion diffusion by narrowing the bandgap and modulating the Co─O bond length.
