A contribution to the anatomy of two rare cetacean species: The hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1797-1820, July 2026.
Abstract The anatomical description of the hourglass dolphin (Cephalorhynchus cruciger) and the spectacled porpoise (Phocoena dioptrica) remains largely unexplored, due to limited specimen availability and preservation challenges. This study employed digital imaging techniques, conventional histology, and computed tomography to provide visualization of

Improving the Downwind Sail Design Process by Means of a Novel FSI Approach

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021
The process of designing a sail can be a challenging task because of the difficulties in predicting the real aerodynamic performance. This is especially true in the case of downwind sails, where the evaluation of the real shapes and aerodynamic forces ...

On the Transformative Nature of Luxury Consumption and Consumer Well‐Being: A Systematic Literature Review and Research Agenda

Psychology &Marketing, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 1727-1757, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Consuming luxury products and services has received little systematic attention as a potential pathway to consumer well‐being, despite sporadic evidence suggesting that luxury experiences may catalyse self‐transformational processes and happiness‐related outcomes.

Variance‐Guided Regression for Heteroscedastic Data With a Grouping‐Based Extension for Nonlinear Prediction

Statistics in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 13-14, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Although homoscedasticity is often assumed in linear regression, real data may show variance patterns or residual structures that violate this assumption. We propose VarGuid, a variance‐guided framework for two related settings: Covariate‐dependent conditional variance under a global linear mean model, and residual nonlinear mean structure ...

A sea of anchors: towards (more) global psychological anthropologies—Introduction to a virtual special issue

Ethos, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract This commentary reflects on the contemporary trajectories and futures of psychological anthropology through the metaphor of a “sea of anchors.” Rather than reproducing binaries of center and margin, we conceptualize “anchors” as temporary and dynamic points of orientation through which theories, methods, collaborations, and infrastructures ...

DNA Metabarcoding Reveals Unexpected Predator–Prey–Microbial Dynamics in the Southern Right Whale (Eubalaena australis)

Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 12, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Southern right whale (Eubalaena australis; SRW) populations are recovering from the impacts of commercial whaling, however, recovery has been spatially variable, with strong associations between reproduction and prey availability. The diet of SRWs has not been widely examined, and with SRW foraging shifting away from high‐latitude foraging ...

Multi-scale analysis of marine carbon/glass hybrid composite top-hat stiffened panel structure for integrated design

Zhongguo Jianchuan Yanjiu
ObjectiveAs composite material design and structural design are separated in the "dual track" state, this paper proposes an integrated design method for composite materials in order to improve the ultimate strength of marine composite structures. Methods
