Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.We describe the endocranial anatomy of Metacheiromys marshi. Decrease in olfaction and eye movement control occurred through time in Pholidotamorpha and is likely linked to fossorial adaptations. The development of the orbital gyrus might be related to the evolution of myrmecophagy and the emergence of a protrusile tongue in early Pholidotamorpha ...

Bullshitters, Liars and Bad Teachers: The Scope of Epistemic Malevolence
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The aim of this paper is two‐fold. We argue against the received conception of epistemic malevolence and give a broader characterisation that, we argue, captures its real scope. We tackle the current notion of epistemic malevolence (EM) on three fronts. We claim that this notion fails to capture cases of EM that are (i) not knowledge directed (

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Metabolic indices derived from the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and mixed‐meal tolerance test (MMTT) are often interpreted interchangeably; however, these tests represent distinct physiological stimuli. In order to examine potential differential metabolic responses to these tests, we characterized the (dis)agreement between OGTT‐ and ...

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend The mechanisms underpinning improved maximal oxygen uptake following sprint interval training (SIT) with post‐exercise blood flow restriction (BFR), compared to SIT alone, remain unclear. This study examined the effects of 6 week SIT with (BFR; n = 12) or without (CON; n = 8) post‐exercise BFR on V̇O2peak${{\dot{V}}_{{{{\mathrm{O}

Bilateral pre-axial polydactyly in a wild juvenile Hoffmann’s two-toed sloth (Choloepus hoffmanni)
XenarthraPolydactyly is a relatively common congenital condition in humans, also described in some other species of animals, where more digits than usual are present in the hands or feet. The literature about congenital anomalies in sloths is sparse.
