Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)

Leveraging Reverse Engineering for CSCM Practices: Demystifying the Roles of Compositional Capability and Cooperative Orientation Under Humane Orientation and Competition Intensity

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Circular supply chain management (CSCM) practices are seen as a solution for addressing society's many significant environmental challenges. Although existing studies recognise the importance of reverse engineering in combating poverty, there is limited knowledge about its effectiveness in shaping CSCM practices to address climate change and ...

Similar locomotor patterns across Quarter Horse disciplines inform lameness assessment

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Lineage‐based selection is central to the Quarter Horse industry and is often justified by the assumption that morphology determines locomotor function. However, objective evidence linking static conformation to discipline‐specific locomotor behaviour under standardised conditions remains limited.
