Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Food‐solicitation displays in nestling birds: still begging for answers
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Nestling begging is a key model for understanding animal communication and parent–offspring conflict. Dynamic begging displays are often interpreted as costly, honest signals of need, with honesty maintained by viability costs, as proposed in Godfray's influential signalling model.

Anatomy of the Soft Palate and Its Role in Upper Airway Function: A Narrative Review
Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The soft palate is a complex anatomical structure, located at the posterior aspect of the oral and nasal cavities, able to dynamically create valve closure of the nasal and the oral cavities. Its precise movement is critical for speech, swallowing, and respiration. Despite its functional importance, detailed characterization of its constituent

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.The hydrogel exhibits versatile functions, including efficient thermogalvanic conversion under a temperature difference, and acting as a cooling layer/forming a thermally conductive nanoactive composite for thermovoltaic conversion. Additionally, its self‐healing and self‐powered flexibility play a key role in energy storage systems. The growing demand

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Turbulence intensity from 1% to 25% was parametrically tested on a three‐bladed H‐type Darrieus rotor across five tip speed ratios (TSRs) using two‐dimensional URANS. The optimal TSR proved the most efficient and most robust operating point simultaneously, with Cp losses capped at 5.8% even at TI = 25%. ABSTRACT The effect of inlet turbulence intensity

Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.Three‐turbine guided Savonius arrays installed along highway corridors extract up to 697 J under multi‐vehicle wake conditions when spaced 12 rotor diameters apart—68% more than compact arrangements. Guide vanes boost output by 80–120%, and interior turbines respond most strongly to spacing, governing overall array performance. ABSTRACT Highway‐induced

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.

Pelvic axial rotation in hindlimb lame horses changes after diagnostic analgesia
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Visual assessment of mild to moderate hindlimb lameness has low sensitivity and specificity, potentially leading to flawed diagnostic procedures. Pelvic axial rotation (roll) makes the assessment more complex but is also a potential source of information. Objectives To describe pelvic roll patterns in horses with unilateral hindlimb
