Forensic examination of the hand

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, Volume 29, Issue S2, Page 116-131, September 2023., 2023
Abstract Using anatomical feature comparison to consider potential matches from hand images to identify or eliminate suspects in an investigation, commonly relating to those involved in the production of images of child sexual abuse, is an emerging forensic methodology that has become increasingly utilized by police forces within the United Kingdom ...

Transdermal drug delivery in horses: An in vitro comparison of skin structure and permeation of two model drugs at various anatomical sites

open access: yesVeterinary Dermatology, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 235-245, June 2023., 2023
Background – Oral and parenteral drug delivery in horses can be difficult. Equine‐specific transdermal drug formulations offer improved ease of treatment; development of such formulations requires a deeper understanding of the structural and chemical tissue barrier of horse skin. Hypothesis/Objectives – To compare the structural composition and barrier

Archaeological identification of fragmented nuts and fruits from key Asia‐Pacific economic tree species using anatomical criteria: Comparative analysis of Canarium, Pandanus and Terminalia

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, Volume 57, Issue 3, Page 160-188, October 2022., 2022
ABSTRACT The fats, protein and carbohydrates afforded by tree nuts and fruits are key resources for communities from Southeast Asia, through Melanesia, Australia and across Oceania. They are important in long‐distance marine trade networks, large‐scale ceremonial gatherings, and are core resources in a wide range of subsistence economies, including ...

The terroir of the finch: How spatial and temporal variation shapes phenotypic traits in Darwin's finches

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 12, Issue 10, October 2022., 2022
The term terroir is used in viticulture to emphasize how the biotic and abiotic characteristics of a local site influence grape physiology and the properties of wine. In ecology and evolution, such terroir (i.e., the effect of space or “site”) is expected to play an important role in shaping phenotypic traits, but how important is the pure spatial ...

The genus Coryphodon in Europe: contribution of new exceptional material from Le Quesnoy (northern France, early Eocene, MP7)

open access: yesPapers in Palaeontology, Volume 12, Issue 4, July/August 2026.
Abstract Pantodonts are an extinct group of herbivorous eutherian mammals. They comprise 8 families and 23 genera, ranging from the early Paleocene to the late Eocene, including Bemalambda, Barylambda, Titanoides, or Pantolambda. In Europe, only one genus is known, Coryphodon, represented by three species: C. eocaenus, C. anthracoideus and C.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Tree‐ring structure determines the temporal coordination between xylem growth and the gain in hydraulic conductivity in the outermost ring

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3732-3746, June 2026.
Summary The study of seasonal xylem hydraulics has predominantly focused on embolism‐induced losses, whereas growth‐driven increases in hydraulic capacity have received little attention. We assessed the intra‐annual dynamics of xylem formation and gain of conductivity in the current‐year ring of three species with contrasting tree‐ring structure ...

Cold‐blooded commerce: Characterizing and predicting trade in Australian squamates

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 4, April 2026.
Despite a national ban on native wildlife exports, Australian reptile species continue to appear in international trade. Using boosted regression trees, we found that large body sizes and taxonomic family, rather than color or patterning, best predicted trade presence. We identified 59 species likely to be targeted in the future, providing key insights

Epidemiology of Colorectal Cancer in French Guiana From 2003 to 2017

open access: yesCancer Medicine, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major global public health issue, with 1.9 million new cases and 904,000 deaths in 2022. French Guiana is an overseas territory located in the Amazon region with many unique features, but data on CRC in this area remains limited.

Cryptic signals: substomatal architecture influences stomatal responses to red light and CO2

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 249, Issue 1, Page 181-188, January 2026.
Summary The mesophyll provides a critical signal for stomatal responses to red light (RL) and CO2 in angiosperms. By contrast, the stomatal response to blue light (BL) is largely guard cell‐specific. It is not known whether substomatal or mesophyll anatomy influences the effectiveness of the mesophyll signal driving stomatal responses to RL and CO2 ...
