The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

From liquid learning to weaving learning: Negotiating meanings of Children's learning in family travel

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Children's learning increasingly extends into everyday informal settings, but what counts as learning in these contexts remains insufficiently understood. Focusing on family travel as a mobile and socioculturally situated informal learning context, this study adopts a sociocultural perspective and uses liquid learning as a sensitising concept ...

Winter tapping of cold-tolerant rubber clone Yunyan 77-4: a viable strategy to reschedule the production season and capture potential market premiums in China

Frontiers in Plant Science
Natural rubber production in China is constrained by a relatively cold climate, a short tapping season, and concentrated rainfall, leading to lower yields than that in tropical nations.

Broad Skills, Smaller Footprints? Generalist CEOs and Firm Biodiversity Exposure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine whether CEO generalist skills predict firm‐level biodiversity risk exposure, an emerging strategic and financial concern. Using the biodiversity indicator developed based on textual analysis and the General Ability Index, we find that firms led by generalist CEOs are associated with significantly lower disclosed biodiversity risk ...

Transcriptomic Analysis of Differential Gene Expression in Hevea brasiliensis Under Short-Term Cold Stress

Plants
Cold stress limits the growth and productivity of Hevea brasiliensis, the primary source of natural rubber. This study investigated early transcriptomic responses in Reyan ‘7-33-97’ seedlings exposed to 4 °C, 10 °C, and 15 °C for 1, 2, and 4 h with room ...
