Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Black‐tailed prairie dogs are highly social ground squirrels that excavate communal burrow systems, most often in medium‐textured soils. Their forelimbs demonstrate morphofunctional trade‐offs for scratch‐digging and terrestrial ecology, including well‐developed and fast‐contracting proximal musculature with large mechanical advantage paired with ...

From sagittal to sprawled: Clavicular co‐option and the evolution of forelimb mechanics in talpines
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Forelimb posture in Eulipotyphla divides into sagittal and sprawled groups with distinct scapular and clavicular orientations. First true rib strength scales with body mass, reflecting vertical ground reaction forces, whereas clavicular strength reflects differences in medially directed forces on the pectoral girdle, especially pronounced in highly ...

Bone histological evidence for posture‐related load transmission in the talpid pectoral girdle
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Bone histology of the clavicle and scapula revealed distinct load‐bearing roles within the mammalian pectoral girdle associated with different forelimb postures. Hyper‐abducted moles exhibited an enhanced load‐bearing role of the clavicle, whereas the parasagittal shrew exhibited histological features consistent with the scapula acting as the principal

The Capital–Labour–State Dynamics of Herbicide Adoption in Rainfed India
Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper engages debates around the capital–labour–state dynamics of agrarian transitions to address the oft‐studied but still little‐understood question of why farmers adopt herbicides when they do. Over the last several years, smallholder farmers in India have begun using the herbicide bispyribac sodium at breakneck speeds, particularly in

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.In this article, we show that ground burrows influenced reptile populations inconsistently across both the 5‐year field study in the Kiskunság and the broader systematic review, which together revealed positive, negative, and neutral effects across species and habitat types.

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.The three invasive Ponto‐Caspian Dikerogammarus species (D. bispinosus, D. haemobaphes, and D. villosus) show niche differentiation along the current velocity gradient. In the present study, we experimentally measured their maximal swimming speeds to test whether they coincide with their tolerances for currents.

City of God and the Duty of Just Memory
Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract In a recent essay, Richard Miller claims that Augustine presumes a duty to remember justly in his City of God. However, Miller's brief reference to a presumed duty of “just memory” does not fully explain how Augustine conceptualizes this duty or how it relates to his theological concerns.

Jacques Maritain, Maurice Blondel, and the Ends of Art
Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract This article reconsiders Jacques Maritain's philosophical poetics by situating it within his longstanding debate with Maurice Blondel over the nature and unity of intellect. I argue that Maritain's influential defence of artistic autonomy, first articulated in Art et scolastique (1920), is ultimately unsound.

Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Virtue epistemology has long struggled with the “Creditability Dilemma”: how can knowledge gained through deference be creditable to the knower if it primarily depends on others’ cognitive work? We propose a novel solution by developing a telic account of doxastic deference as a distinctive kind of social‐epistemic performance.
