Pawsitive Connections: Understanding How Informal Pet Interactions Relate to Daily Youth Functioning
ABSTRACT Introduction Human‐animal interaction (HAI) has been linked to well‐being across functional domains and throughout the lifespan. Limited research has explored specific types of informal HAIs with pets or the impact of HAI in daily life. Methods Over 2 weeks in 2021, caregivers of youth (N = 42; ages 6–17, M = 12.21; 50% male) reported daily on

This study quantifies stance‐phase joint angular excursions and angular utilization (AUI%) during walking in 182 terrestrial mammal species. Across mammals, total limb excursion during stance (TAE) decreases with increasing body mass, whereas AUI% remains broadly conserved, indicating similar proportional use of summed joint excursions to generate net ...

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 ...
