Morpho‐functional analyses of the jaw apparatus in the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna, Psittaciformes, Aves): Adaptations to feeding behavior

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Macaws are renowned for processing dry, mechanically resistant fruits, yet the species‐level anatomical and functional correlates of this performance remain incompletely resolved. We examined the feeding apparatus of the Blue‐and‐yellow Macaw (Ara ararauna) using an integrated approach that combines osteology, myology, and bite‐force estimates

Widespread distribution of large silesaurids evidenced by a new record from the Middle Triassic of southwest Gondwana

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
The largest silesaurid known from South America is described here, demonstrating that silesaurids reached large body sizes in southwestern Gondwana. This discovery further underscores the widespread geographic distribution and temporal persistence of large silesaurids across Pangea, despite faunal turnovers and environmental events such as the Carnian ...

Evaluating Bergmann's and Allen's rules in the long bones of the eastern gray squirrel

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecogeographical rules predict variation in body size and appendage proportions across climatic gradients, yet intraspecific tests using long bones from wild populations remain limited among small mammals. This study tests the hypothesis that eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) conform to Bergmann's rule, that is, body size increases ...

A Pragmatic Trial of a Shared Decision‐Making Intervention to Improve Medication Adherence and Outcomes in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: The HCQ‐SAFE Study

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) nonadherence in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) stemming from decision complexities can be improved with shared decision‐making (SDM) tools clarifying benefits and harms. This study aimed to develop and evaluate HCQ‐SAFE, a pictogram‐based SDM tool during SLE visits.

Fine Particulate Matter Constituents, Ozone, and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Large General‐Population Cohort Analysis With Extended Quantile g‐Computation

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate whether exposure to mixture of individual fine particulate matter (PM2.5) chemical constituents is associated with incident systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and if ozone modifies this association and/or is associated with SLE onset.

Digital innovation for a greener future: the role of artificial intelligence in Europe's biofuel transition

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates the relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) development and biofuel production using a balanced panel dataset of 12 European Union (EU) countries over the 2008–2024 period. Employing feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimation with distributed lag specifications, the analysis controls for Renewable ...

Young children's right to be heard on the quality of their education: Addressing potential misunderstandings in the context of early childhood education

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract In early childhood education many researchers and professionals across the world have embraced the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child's requirement to include young children in decision‐making. In the context of ongoing discussion about young children's capacity to share their views and opinions about matters affecting them ...
