Norway rat ectoparasite burden varied by residential microhabitat, host traits, and trap type, showing that urban rodent management should address both rat burden and ectoparasite persistence in residential buildings. Abstract BACKGROUND Norway rats, Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout), can carry ectoparasites of public health importance.

Risk factors for dental overgrowth in rabbits: A retrospective study using electronic health records
Abstract Background Rabbits’ teeth grow continuously. Overgrown teeth are a frequent cause for veterinary consultation and can have severe welfare implications. The risk factors for overgrown teeth are incompletely understood. Methods Rabbits with overgrown teeth recorded in their electronic health records (EHRs) were identified from a large population

Cementum, the mineralized tissue covering all mammalian tooth roots, helps maintain tooth stability, but its internal organization is still poorly understood. In this study, we combine quantitative histologial methods to map the regional distributions of collagen fibers and proteoglycan‐rich matrix layers in porcine cementum.

Recent archaeological discoveries, reviewed in this essay, challenge traditional views on the emergence of human symbolic cognition. Once believed to have originated in Europe around 40,000 years ago, new evidence shows it emerged much earlier across diverse regions.

A New Model of Feeding Biomechanics Based on Tied‐Arch Principles
This new biomechanical model explains the major stress and strain patterns generated through the cranium during biting. The model proposes that the cranium resolves bite‐induced reaction forces through arcs of compressive stress that span the cranial structure between biting teeth and both jaw joints.
