The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Cells derived from the endocardium, epicardium, cardiac neural crest, and second heart field play a critical role in the formation of the valvuloseptal structures of the heart. Previous studies have shown that the expression of the transcription factor SOX9 in these cell populations is essential in the regulation of this process.

Effect of different storage methods on quality and performance of Tan sheep
Siliao yanjiu, 2023 The experiment was to study the effect of different storage methods on meat quality of Tan sheep. The shoulder mutton of three Tan sheep was selected, and the meat of the same part was divided into three parts and stored in different ways.

Effects of New Mutations in BMPRIB, GDF9, BMP15, LEPR, and B4GALNT2 Genes on Litter Size in Sheep
Veterinary Sciences, 2023 Prolificacy is a crucial characteristic of livestock, particularly for species such as sheep that have many births. The objectives of this study were as follows: (1) to investigate the genetic diversity of the 13 new and 7 known variants in the BMPRIB ...

Pruritus is a common feature in sheep infected with the BSE agent. [PDF]
, 2008 BACKGROUND: The variability in the clinical or pathological presentation of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs) in sheep, such as scrapie and bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), has been attributed to prion protein genotype, strain ...

The “costly son” hypothesis: Sons exacerbate obstetrical dilemmas in humans and other mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Human childbirth has often been considered uniquely difficult among mammals, yet recent evidence suggests that obstructed labor and fetopelvic disproportion are widespread across placental mammals. Here, we propose the “costly son” hypothesis: because male offspring are typically larger at birth, they impose greater obstetric risk on mothers ...

Variation in the ovine KAP8-1 gene affects wool fibre uniformity in Chinese Tan sheep
, 2019 Chinese Tan sheep are known for producing ‘spring-like’ crimped wool fleeces that consist of both fine wool fibres (non-medulated) and heterotypic wool fibres (frequently medulated). The genetic basis of these unique characteristics is poorly understood.

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.Abstract Energy scarcity remains a persistent challenge in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA), where limited access to reliable, affordable, and clean energy constrains socioeconomic development. Biomass resources, including agricultural residues, forest waste, and waste from other biological sources, are widely available, but their use for modern energy ...
