Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Corporate Environmental Responsibility and Cost of Equity Capital: A Meta‐Analytical Review

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite extensive research on the relationship between corporate environmental responsibility (CER) and cost of equity capital (COEC), empirical evidence remains inconsistent. This study addresses these inconsistencies through a comprehensive meta‐analysis of 1139 effect sizes from 75 studies.

Redefining the Surface Anatomy of Major Abdominal Structures in an Adult Population: A Computed Tomography Evaluation

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Inconsistencies exist in anatomy and clinical reference texts regarding the vertebral levels of major abdominal structures. Accurate surface anatomy is essential for diagnostic interpretation and interventional procedures, yet little is known about how health status or pathology may influence the vertebral relationships of abdominal organs ...

Experimental methods in chemical engineering: The scientific method versus engineering design methodology

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Engineering graduate students confuse the scientific method and problem solving when presenting their pre‐doctoral exams and theses: Science discourse adopts question and hypotheses to assert and establish a study's rationale, while it is problem and objectives in engineering design.

Front Propagation Through a Perforated Wall

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We consider a bistable reaction– diffusion equation ut=Δu+f(u)$u_t=\Delta u +f(u)$ on RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ in the presence of an obstacle K$K$, which is a wall of infinite span with many holes. More precisely, K$K$ is a closed subset of RN${\mathbb {R}}^N$ with smooth boundary such that its projection onto the x1$x_1$‐axis is bounded and that ...

Neonatal Exposure to Antibiotics Triggers Obesity in Adulthood by Permanent Microbiota Dysbiosis and Reduction of Adipose Regulatory T Cells

Barrier Immunity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neonatal dysbiosis of the gut microbiota represents a critical environmental factor promoting obesity, but the underlying immunological mechanisms remain unknown. We show here that neonatal treatment of mice with broad‐spectrum antibiotics for the first 3 weeks of life (NeoATB) resulted in the development of obesity and metabolic abnormalities
