Critical tipping points in dung beetle communities: Implications for conservation in the Atlantic Forest biome

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Minor land‐use changes consistently lead to abrupt biodiversity shifts across all diversity dimensions, favoring generalist dung beetle species while excluding sensitive specialists. These shifts are observed at lower environmental change rates than previously considered, with significant changes apparent after just 25% habitat loss.

The wide gape of snakes: A comparison of the developing mandibular symphysis in sauropsids

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Our analysis explores the adaptations at the mandibular symphysis required to allow extreme lower jaw mobility in macrostomate snakes taking a comparative approach. Abstract The origin and evolution of snakes has been marked by the acquisition of many morphological and functional novelties, one of which is the possession of a highly kinetic skull ...

Customized Metal 3D Printed Total Wrist Prosthesis in the Treatment of Severely Destroyed Wrist: Design Rationale and Clinical Applications

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1536-1546, May 2025.
Four patients with severe wrist destruction from various causes were treated with customized 3D‐printed prostheses. In addition to the specific articular surface matching their original radiocarpal joint, two innovative proximal component designs were created to address different bone defects.

Mid‐Term Tibial Tunnel Enlargement and Graft Maturation After ACL Reconstruction: A 5‐Year Follow‐Up Linking Morphological Dynamics to Knee Function

open access: yesOrthopaedic Surgery, EarlyView.
Tibial tunnel diameter increased within 2 years after single‐bundle ACL reconstruction, then slightly decreased by 5 years but remained above baseline. Moderate site‐specific correlations were observed between tunnel enlargement at the tibial tunnel exit, graft maturation at 2 years, and anterior stability at 5 years without long‐term functional ...
