Revisiting paravertebral muscles in European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and European brown hares (Lepus europaeus) (Leporidae; Lagomorpha)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...

Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

Evolutionary morphology of the haplorhine hamate

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Primates adopt a variety of hand postures during an impressive diversity of locomotor and manipulative behaviors. Morphological research has found that elements of the hand skeleton, such as the hamate, hold key information for inferring hand use and locomotor kinematics in extinct species.

Fascicle measurement methods do result in lengths that are significantly different

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
A recent comparison of the most prevalent methods for measuring fascicles, in situ measurement versus chemical digestion, concluded that the measurements are indistinguishable based on data from different conspecific individuals. However, our study of contralateral muscles of the same individuals shows that the methods clearly result in statistically ...

A narrow window of summer temperatures associated with shrub growth in Arctic Alaska

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Warming in recent decades has triggered shrub expansion in Arctic and alpine tundra, which is transforming these temperature-limited ecosystems and altering carbon and nutrient cycles, fire regimes, permafrost stability, land-surface climate-feedbacks ...

Abatacept Reduces CD319+ (SLAMF7) Cytotoxic T Cells and Cytokine Production in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by immune dysregulation and fibrosis. We investigated whether abatacept modulates CD319/SLAMF7‐expressing cytotoxic T cells implicated in diffuse cutaneous SSc. Methods In this ancillary ASSET trial analysis, PBMCs from 67 participants were analyzed at baseline and months 1, 3, and 6.

Topographic Roughness as an Emergent Property of Geomorphic Processes and Events

AGU Advances
Earth's terrestrial surfaces commonly exhibit topographic roughness at the scale of meters to tens of meters. In soil‐ and sediment‐mantled settings topographic roughness may be framed as a competition between roughening and smoothing processes.

Short-term impacts of nitrogen fertilization on the cover of vascular plant and bryophyte species in boreal Scots pine and Norway spruce stands

Silva Fennica
Nitrogen (N) fertilization increases carbon sequestration and wood production in boreal upland forests and thus supports climate change mitigation. Excess N may, however, alter the cover, biomass and biodiversity of the ground vegetation.

The gift remembered: The Human Anatomy and Physiology Society (HAPS) Anatomical Donor Stewardship's ethical and practical handbook for anatomy donor tributes

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Providing students with a way to honor human body donors during or after an anatomy course has been shown to help provide a sense of closure and comfort to students and, when present, donor families. Gestures of gratitude for donors can also emphasize humanistic values of respect, empathy, and professionalism.
