Tradeoffs between brain and digestive tissues across elevations in Typhlomys daloushanensis: evidence for sexual dimorphism

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
To cope with highly stochastic and/or heterogeneous environmental conditions, animals must balance energy resource allocation across physiological processes. The digestive tract and brain exhibit structural variations under strong developmental and selective pressures that vary across environmental gradients both between and within species.

Impact of the external knee flexion moment on patello-femoral loading derived from in vivo loads and kinematics

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
IntroductionAnterior knee pain and other patello-femoral (PF) complications frequently limit the success of total knee arthroplasty as the final treatment of end stage osteoarthritis.

Lures do not increase box‐trapping success of an endangered felid in South Texas

Wildlife Society Bulletin, EarlyView.
We used a randomized design and linear regression to assess whether visual (compact disc [CD] and ribbon), and olfactory (musk and ocelot urine) lures would increase capture success of three mesocarnivores (ocelots [Leopardus pardalis], bobcats [Lynx rufus], and coyotes [Canis latrans]) with box traps baited with a live bird from December 2023 to April

Collaborating in future states—Contextual instability, paradigmatic remaking, and public policy

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract Collaboration is ubiquitous in public policy life, with its presence and profile determined by prevailing governance conditions. Commitments to globalisation and marketisation in the latter part of the 20th century marked the onset of an era defined by collaboration, between and across tiers and spheres of government, with non‐state actors ...

The contribution of the humanities to the theory and practice of public administration in the 21st century

Australian Journal of Public Administration, EarlyView.
Abstract This Forum Article integrates a range of four contributions which are all underpinned by the conviction that the rediscovery of the humanities may be beneficial to the field of public administration. The first piece examines the contribution that philosophy, as a key discipline of the humanities, can provide to the field of public ...

Crisis, temporality and governmental policy agendas: The cases of Finland and Sweden

Scandinavian Political Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Crises transform the temporal orientation of political decision‐making. They demand immediate and decisive action and thus convert time into a means of political control. In these circumstances, assessing the long‐term consequences of proposed policies with respect to welfare, sustainability or justice also becomes demanding.

Flap Anatomies and Victorian Veils: Penetrating the Female Reproductive Interior

Gender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the reappearance in the early nineteenth century of anatomical flapbooks in the context of obstetrical education in Britain, America and France. It asks why liftable paper flaps were reintroduced at this time after their disappearance from medical atlases in the eighteenth century.

Cenozoic Tectonics Ignite Mitochondrial Codon Innovations Propelling Canid Body Size Evolution and Transcontinental Radiations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.

Rebuilding the Ladder? Contemporary Contests Over Industrial Policy

Global Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Does the greater embrace of industrial policy globally signal the emergence of a New Washington Consensus? We show that the multiplication of industrial policies, while consequential, signals neither normalisation nor consensus. Rather, industrial policy is increasingly the object of contestation over norms and practices of state ...
