Ancient Plumage Colour Genetics Reveal Goose Domestication and Hybridization

open access: yesAnimal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT In archaeological assemblages, differentiating the European domestic goose and its wild progenitor, the greylag goose (Anser anser), has been challenging due to their similar skeletal morphologies.

Feasibility of Imaging the Uvula at the Midtrimester Anomaly Ultrasound

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 8, Page 1707-1714, August 2026.
Objectives The fetal palate is not routinely imaged as part of the midtrimester fetal anomaly ultrasound, despite being associated with many syndromes. The “equal sign” depicts the lateral borders of the uvula on 2‐dimensional fetal ultrasound. We assessed the feasibility of adding the equal sign to the midtrimester fetal anomaly ultrasound.

Summary Tropical peatlands are critical for climate mitigation due to their dual role as major carbon sinks and methane sources. In rainforests, high and stable rainfall supports peat accumulation in tropical climates. However, groundwater‐fed peatlands in seasonally dry tropical ecosystems remain poorly understood, despite their potential importance ...
