Sexual size dimorphism as a determinant of biting performance dimorphism in Anolis lizards

Journal of Evolutionary Biology
Abstract Rensch’s rule describes a pattern of interspecific allometry in which sexual size dimorphism (SSD) increases with size among closely related species (i.e., among a group of related species, the largest ones tend to show more male-biased SSD). Sexual selection is often invoked to explain Rensch’s rule, as larger male body size is

Histological Characterization and Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Gonads During Early Sex Differentiation in the Northern Snakehead (Channa argus)

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study delineates the early sex differentiation timeline in the northern snakehead (Channa argus). These findings provide a foundation for future sex‐control breeding in this economically important species. ABSTRACT The northern snakehead (Channa argus) is an economically important aquaculture species in China.

Sheep Horn Development Revealed by Multi‐Tissue and Cross‐Species Transcriptomic Analysis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Multi‐tissue and cross‐species transcriptomics with allele‐specific expression show sheep horns are a composite organ integrating epidermal and osteogenic programs. Conserved horn gene modules and cis‐regulatory variation fine‐tune expression networks underlying horn development and size (small scurs vs. large spiral horns).

Early synovial regulatory T cell engagement in posttraumatic osteoarthritis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Posttraumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) develops despite restoration of joint biomechanics, suggesting that early post‐injury biological processes within the synovium shape disease trajectories. We investigated whether synovial regulatory T (Treg) cells are engaged during the early phase following joint injury and whether experimental enrichment ...

Anatomy of the Soft Palate and Its Role in Upper Airway Function: A Narrative Review

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The soft palate is a complex anatomical structure, located at the posterior aspect of the oral and nasal cavities, able to dynamically create valve closure of the nasal and the oral cavities. Its precise movement is critical for speech, swallowing, and respiration. Despite its functional importance, detailed characterization of its constituent

Developmental Morphometry of the Paranasal Sinuses in Subjects Aged 1–25 Years: A Computed Tomography Study

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present study aimed to evaluate the developmental morphometry of the paranasal sinuses using computed tomography (CT) in subjects aged 1–25 years and to characterize age‐related changes in sinus dimensions, volume, and surface area throughout childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood.
