Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Exploring dietary adaptations in Ursus minimus: a 3D geometric morphometric analysis of the mandible

Boreas, EarlyView.
Using 3D geometric morphometrics, the dietary adaptations of the extinct Auvergne bear (Ursus minimus) are analysed. Its mandibular morphology aligns more closely with omnivorous rather than insectivorous bears, challenging current ideas. The extinct bear Ursus minimus, which lived in Europe during the Pliocene and possibly Early Pleistocene, is ...

Fossil bears break free from inhibitory cascade constraints at least twice (Ursus minimus and Ursus deningeri) caused by dietary adaptations

Boreas, EarlyView.
Bears deviate from the inhibitory cascade model (ICM) during molar size evolution, with two significant deviations linked to changes in diet: Ursus minimus and Ursus deningeri. Many bears exhibit a ‘partial ICM’, highlighting the relationship between relative molar size, dietary adaptations and dental development across different species.

Oral Health and Social Isolation After 6 Years: Mediation of Oral Functions

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Tooth loss was longitudinally associated with social isolation. The absence of dental prosthesis use was an additional risk factor. However, the mediating pathways for this association are unknown. The aim of this cohort study was to estimate the mediating effect of three oral functions: speaking, smiling and chewing observed at ...

Oral Health—Head and Neck Cancers: Addressing Confounding Through Negative Control and Quantitative Bias Analyses

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives While there are plausible biological explanations for the association between oral health and head and neck cancers (HNC), existing studies have yielded conflicting results. A key concern is that these associations are influenced by mediators, unmeasured risk factors, and biases. To address this, a negative control exposure was used
