Decoding Dual Regulatory Layers: Integrating Differential Expression and Alternative Splicing Dynamics in the Evolution of Laryngeal Echolocation Across Chiropteran Lineages

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We integrated short‐read and long‐read RNA‐seq data from cochlear tissues of echolocating and non‐echolocating bats to disentangle transcriptional and post‐transcriptional regulation. Echolocating bats showed neural‐function enrichment among differentially expressed genes, while alternatively spliced genes were linked to epigenetic regulation. Overlaps

Using large language models to analyze political texts through natural language understanding

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) offer scalable alternatives to human experts when analyzing political texts for meaning, using natural language understanding (NLU). Qualitative NLU methods relying on human experts are severely limited by cost and scalability.

Dementia, Advance Directives, and Second‐Order Volitions

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper contributes to the ongoing debate over the authority of advance directives in cases where patients with dementia express desires that conflict with their earlier wishes. Drawing on Harry Frankfurt's concept of second‐order volitions, I argue that the preferences of the pre‐dementia self (the “then‐self”) should, in most cases, take ...

Bitter taste receptors of the common vampire bat are functional and show conserved responses to metal ions in vitro

Proceedings of the Royal Society B, 2021
The bitter taste sensation is important to warn mammals of the ingestion of potentially toxic food compounds. For mammals, whose nutrition relies on highly specific food sources, such as blood in the case of vampire bats, it is unknown if bitter sensing ...

Investing in Game‐Based Informal Digital Learning of English (IDLE): A Chinese‐Speaking Gaming Community

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a rapidly evolving sub‐field of computer‐assisted language learning, informal digital learning of English (IDLE) has become a significant catalyst for linguistic, affective, and pedagogical development among English as a second language (L2) learners.

Geo-political vampirism: how and why has Western literary scholarship appropriated and then re-mythologised the socio-historical origins of the vampire?

Humanities & Social Sciences Communications
The article considers the claims of Western academics like Frayling (1992) that the literary vampire began with Polidori’s The Vampyre (1819). Crawford (2016) identifies a German literary vampire tradition existing one hundred years before Polidori, yet ...
