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

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 ...

Urbanization in Ecuador: an overview using the Functional Urban Area definition

, 2018
This paper explores the urbanization process under Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) definition considering Ecuador as case of study. Analyzing data from 1950 to 2010, we have identified 28 FUAs that confirm that urbanization has rapidly increased in Ecuador since 1962. Then, a slum index, which is constructed using a United Nations methodology, is applied

Heat Stress in Quail: Impacts on Health and Productivity, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts physiological homeostasis in quail, inducing oxidative stress, immune dysregulation, and metabolic imbalance, which impair growth, reproduction, product quality, and welfare. Integrating nutritional, environmental, and genetic–epigenetic strategies enhances thermotolerance, sustains productivity, and supports climate‐smart quail ...

Expert Perspective: Toward Treat‐to‐Target Management in Adult Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Treat‐to‐target (T2T) has transformed the management of several rheumatic diseases through predefined therapeutic goals, structured disease assessment, and timely treatment adjustment. Despite major advances in the understanding and treatment of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), a formal T2T framework for adult IIM has not yet been established.

Developing a critical caste analysis within information science and technology: A research review: An Annual Review of Information Science and Technology (ARIST) paper

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Caste—an ascriptive social hierarchy in South Asia and its diaspora—is a globalized phenomenon. Recent caste‐based discrimination, particularly in technology companies and anti‐caste efforts to address it, has compelled academia, policy, and the technology industry to better understand contemporary mechanics of caste.

Conceptualizing algorithmic inequality and future agenda. An annual review of information science and technology (ARIST) paper

Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract The issue of inequality caused by algorithms, termed ‘algorithmic inequality’, has recently attracted scholarly attention in many disciplines due to its profound implications for society. While the body of literature on algorithmic inequality has grown, there remains a lack of comprehensive understanding of its nature, drivers, and impact ...
