Sexual dimorphism and ancestral variation in the pectoral and pelvic girdles of modern humans by Daphne R. Hudson, John H. Langdon

“…In addition to finding both absolute and relative differences in mean values for the pectoral and pelvic skeleton, females and males and blacks and whites differ in the scaling relationship of these traits, suggesting different allometric trajectories for these bones that may be explained by their distinct evolutionary functions, their adaptations to specific environments, or by changes in lengths due to age. …”

Comparison of cryogenic and non-cryogenic droplet impact dynamics at low Weber numbers by Giovanni Tretola, Konstantina Vogiatzaki

“…The results obtained are analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively, comparing the droplet morphology evolution for the two fluids. Differences are observed mainly in the receding stage, once the droplet has reached the maximum spreading, with the receding stage of the cryogenic case characterised by a faster dynamic.…”

A Review of Vibration Control Studies of Double-Layered Cylindrical Shells Under Transient Excitation in Water by Zhen Zhang, Yinglong Zhao, Feng Chen

“…Firstly, the vibration response mechanisms of underwater double-layered cylindrical shells are sorted through a bibliometric analysis, and the evolution laws for plate–shell structures and the vibration transmission paths for single–double-shell structures are summarized systematically; secondly, the multi-path vibration transmission characteristics of double-layered cylindrical shells are analyzed based on energy transfer theory, and the contribution to transient noise through different transmission paths is quantitatively evaluated; and thirdly, the vibration transmission characteristics of active control, passive control, and hybrid control are evaluated systematically in terms of the dimensions of the control mechanism. …”

Immune-mediated competition in rodent malaria is most likely caused by induced changes in innate immune clearance of merozoites. by Jayanthi Santhanam, Lars Råberg, Andrew F Read, Nicholas Jon Savill

“…We test whether competitive suppression is caused by clone-specific differences in one or more of the following processes: adaptive immune clearance of merozoites and parasitised red blood cells (RBCs), background loss of merozoites and parasitised RBCs, RBC age preference, RBC infection rate, burst size, and within-RBC interference. …”

Did androgen-binding protein paralogs undergo neo- and/or Subfunctionalization as the Abp gene region expanded in the mouse genome? by Robert C Karn, Amanda G Chung, Christina M Laukaitis

“…Thus, evidence for subfunctionalization can be seen in our data and we argue that the partitioning of paralog expression between lacrimal and salivary glands that we report here occurred as the result of adaptive evolution.…”

A repeatedly evolved mutation in Cryptochrome-1 of subterranean animals alters behavioral and molecular circadian rhythms by Amruta Swaminathan, Alexander Kenzior, Andrew Price, Hua Li, Colin McCoin, Aurélie Hintermann, Kyle Weaver, NatiCia Morris, Alex C. Keene, Nicolas Rohner

“…We also found that the mutation causes the aberrant expression of canonical circadian and metabolic genes in the liver, consistent with circadian clock and metabolic dysregulation reported in subterranean dwellers, which may be adaptive in such environments. Our work highlights the capacity for selection to drive repeated phenotypic evolution through repetitions of the same underlying genetic change.…”
