Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

Kinship, lineage identity, and an evolutionary perspective on the structure of cooperative big game hunting groups in Indonesia. [PDF]

, 2002
Work was conducted among traditional, subsistence whale hunters in Lamalera, Indonesia in order to test if kinship or lineage membership is more important for explaining the organization of cooperative hunting parties ranging in size from 8-14 men.

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Drivers of tail evolution in squamates and their implications for the fossorial origin of snakes

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The axial skeleton serves as the primary structural support in all vertebrates and is subdivided into five distinct regions: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and caudal. Relaxation of constraints acting on the terminal end of the axial skeleton has led to remarkable variation in caudal vertebrae number across Squamata.

Molecular relatedness-based analyses reveal breeding site philopatry in female bluntnose sixgill sharks (Hexanchus griseus)

Frontiers in Marine Science
The bluntnose sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus) is a deep-water, globally distributed, but data-limited species due to its habitat use and cryptic nature.

The impact of M&A on the R&D process. An empirical analysis of the role of technological and market relatedness. [PDF]

While the impact of M&A on R&D and innovation examined at the aggregate level left inconclusive evidence, we find that at the level of the R&D process both the technological and market relatedness between the target and acquirer are helpful dimensions to

Systemic Hormonal Contraceptive Use Is Associated With Greater Odds of Rotator Cuff Tears, Shoulder Instability, Dislocation, and Other Shoulder Pathologies: A Propensity Matched Epidemiological Study

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To evaluate whether systemic estrogen‐only, progestin‐only, or combined hormonal contraceptives (HCs) are associated with increased risk of shoulder pathologies in reproductive‐age females. Methods A retrospective cohort study of female patients presenting to clinic from 2013 to 2020 and aged 13‐50 with 5 years of follow‐up was conducted using ...
