ABSTRACT Since the nineteenth century, struggles between state power and political prisoners' right to die have aroused considerable interest. State enforcement to ‘make live’ through force‐feeding also raises important questions concerning processes that inform government approaches, often through methods considered to be brutal, and how these actions

Cutaneous shedding in amphibians causes shifts in bacterial microbiomes
Trends of bacterial load and diversity on cane toad skin suggest that regular shedding events reduce bacterial abundance, consequently also reducing richness and causing a shift in community structure. After reductions due to shedding, bacteria regrow and recolonize until the next shed days later, suggesting that skin communities are constantly in flux,

High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.

Insight Into Body Size Evolution in Aves: Based on Some Body Size–Related Genes
These findings provide new insights into the genetic determinants of body size evolutionary mechanisms in Aves. ABSTRACT Birds exhibit remarkable variations in body size, making them an ideal group for the study of adaptive evolution. However, the genetic mechanisms underlying body size evolution in avian species remain inadequately understood.
