Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

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 ...

Demand Estimation with Text and Image Data
The RAND Journal of Economics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We propose a demand estimation approach that leverages unstructured data to infer substitution patterns. Using pre‐trained deep learning models, we extract embeddings from product images and textual descriptions and incorporate them into a mixed logit demand model.

Cold‐blooded commerce: Characterizing and predicting trade in Australian squamates
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Despite a national ban on native wildlife exports, Australian reptile species continue to appear in international trade. Using boosted regression trees, we found that large body sizes and taxonomic family, rather than color or patterning, best predicted trade presence. We identified 59 species likely to be targeted in the future, providing key insights
