‘It's Like a Horror Movie That You Walk Through’: Experiencing Horror Through Immersive Recreation

The Journal of American Culture, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Horror stories have provided enjoyable forms of leisure for centuries. Over the past five decades, however, these experiences have evolved into increasingly immersive forms of popular culture. What once involved constructing the narrative world internally through reading has expanded into sensory engagement through visual and auditory media ...

Effective Visual Communication in Higher Education: Intercultural and Cross‐Cultural Design

International Journal of Art &Design Education, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper examines how undergraduate design students develop cultural sensitivity through a live brief by the Illegal Money Lending Team (IMLT), focusing on global‐local tensions in their responses. While prior studies address global‐local dynamics, few explore intercultural pedagogy in the United Kingdom live briefs.

Social, Economic, and Regulatory Drivers of the Shark Fin Trade [PDF]

The demand for shark fins is arguably the most important determinant of the fate of shark populations around the world. This paper examines the role that social and economic factors in China play in driving the trade both historically and under current ...

Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Branchial localization of acid (A‐type) and base (B‐type) excreting ionocytes in Amazonian stenohaline freshwater Potamotrygon ray

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The branchial epithelium of Potamotrygon—a member of the only strictly freshwater elasmobranch family Potamotrygonidae—was observed via immunohistochemistry, and two distinct forms of ionocytes were identified. The acid (A‐type) and base (B‐type) secreting cells with respective basolateral–apical localizations of Na+/K+‐ATPase–Na+/H+ exchanger

Expression of corticoid‐regulatory genes in the gills of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) parr and smolt and during salinity acclimation

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In teleost fishes, cortisol is the major corticoid and has both glucocorticoid and mineralocorticoid actions. However, how fish tissues discriminate between these distinct corticosteroid actions is unclear. In mammals, the major factors responsible for intracellular corticosteroid regulation are glucocorticoid receptors (grs) and the ...

‘It's not much, but it's honest work’: The status of environmental DNA analyses of fish biodiversity in southern Africa

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental DNA (eDNA) biodiversity surveys have the power to transform the detection of species in natural environments, which is crucial for the conservation and management of freshwater, estuarine and marine environments. Globally, eDNA‐based analyses have increased significantly, with fishes being the most widely studied aquatic ...
