Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Virtual brain endocasts of the palaeanodont Metacheiromys marshi and the neurosensory evolution of early Pholidotamorpha

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We describe the endocranial anatomy of Metacheiromys marshi. Decrease in olfaction and eye movement control occurred through time in Pholidotamorpha and is likely linked to fossorial adaptations. The development of the orbital gyrus might be related to the evolution of myrmecophagy and the emergence of a protrusile tongue in early Pholidotamorpha ...

Differently Educated US Couples and Their Work‐Family Arrangements, 1968–2023

open access: yesJournal of Marriage and Family, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This brief report examines how couples' education pairings relate to their work‐family arrangements in the United States from 1968 to 2023, focusing on differently educated couples. Background The reversal of the gender gap in education has increased couples where women have more education than their male partners, with implications ...

Earnings Trajectories Around Parenthood: Male Same‐Sex Couples in Denmark, the Netherlands and Sweden

open access: yesJournal of Marriage and Family, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study examines earnings trajectories of male same‐sex couples around the time they become parents in Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden: three forerunners in advancing same‐sex couples' legal rights but with different family policy frameworks.

Care‐full negotiation of hospital discharge and end‐of‐life care in an Indonesian palliative care unit

open access: yesMedical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract How do palliative care professionals negotiate end‐of‐life care with family members when prognosis and dying are not openly discussed? Based on ethnographic fieldwork in an Indonesian palliative care unit, I argue that palliative care professionals employ implicit, ambiguous and culturally sensitive communication to carefully negotiate ...

Comprehensive and Comparative Transcriptional Profiling of the Cell Wall Stress Response in Bacillus subtilis

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Transcriptional profiling of the primary cell envelope stress response (CESR) of Bacillus subtilis exposed to a range of cell wall‐targeting antimicrobials, combining RNAseq and high‐resolution tiling arrays. We revealed the complexity of the CESR, the contribution of extracytoplasmic function sigma factors (ECFs) and two‐component signal transduction ...

Ecological change may be a common initiator of evolutionary pollinator shifts

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Although evolutionary pollinator shifts are accepted as major sources of floral and species diversity in angiosperms, the mechanisms triggering pollinator shifts remain largely unexplored. In 1970, Stebbins proposed that ecological change may be a common initiator of evolutionary pollinator shifts, but empirical tests of Stebbins' hypothesis ...

Experiences of Administrative Burden in Context: Exploring Differences Across Countries, Policy Domains, and Socio‐Demography

open access: yesPublic Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Administrative burden research finds that citizens frequently experience burdens when interacting with government. However, evidence is based predominantly on studies of Western countries and social policies. We collect survey data (N≈10,000) in the USA, UK, Mexico, South Korea, and Denmark, using nationally representative samples sourced via ...

Employing a Hysteresis Approach to Analyze Shifts in Tree Physiological Thresholds in Response to Drought

open access: yesPlant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought‐induced tree mortality underscores the need for improved physiological models to predict tree responses to water stress. We employed a hysteresis modelling approach analyzing diel water absorption and desorption cycles to understand drought‐induced shifts in physiological thresholds.
