Body mass and sex estimation from lower carnassial tooth morphometry in the endangered Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus): An ecomorphological analysis of sexual size dimorphism

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Iberian wolf (Canis lupus signatus) is an endangered subspecies characterized by highly fragmented populations and increasing human–carnivore conflict across the Iberian Peninsula. Although body mass strongly influences predator–prey dynamics and ecological performance, quantitative assessments of sexual size dimorphism (SSD) and body mass

Direct Comparison Between Loss‐to‐Follow‐Up and Statistical Fragility Is Methodologically Inappropriate, and Fragility Reflects the P Value, Not Trial Robustness: A Simulation Analysis of 300,000 Randomized Controlled Trials

open access: yesArthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To assess the relation between the fragility index (FI) and reverse fragility index (RFI) with the minimum number of patients needed to reverse statistical significance (e.g. henceforth termed the lost to follow‐up index (LTFI) and reverse LTFI (R‐LTFI), respectively) and apply machine learning to identify which trial parameters are most ...

LncRSFD Alternative Splicing Modulates the Proliferation and Differentiation of Adipocytes Through Sponging miRNAs

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study identified a molecule named lncRSFD, which is highly expressed in sheep adipose tissues. The lncRSFD gene generates two distinct transcript variants via alternative splicing: lncRSFD‐L and lncRSFD‐S. Functionally, lncRSFD alternative splicing (lncRSFD‐L/S) promotes the proliferation, differentiation, and lipid metabolism of adipocytes ...
