Size, not color, drives assortative mating and influences fledging survival, weight and immunity in a polymorphic owl by Deseada Parejo, Erick González-Medina, Ángel Cruz-Miralles, Jesús Miguel Avilés

“…Although body size and plumage coloration were correlated within pairs, only differences in body size between pair members, not coloration, were related to higher fitness estimates. While color-based assortative mating had no direct impact on any of the fitness proxies studied, greyer pairs exhibited higher feeding rates to offspring than browner pairs. …”

Timing of cochlear implantation in large vestibular aqueduct syndrome–a retrospective cohort analysis by Xiao Liu, Wanting Huang, Yunxiu Wang, Jingjing Xu, Lulu Xie, Lin Liu, Jia Chen

“…CI timing was comparable among different hearing loss progression patterns. Finally, among patients meeting CI criteria but still benefiting from HA, while those who directly underwent CI had an earlier age at implantation, their interval from IAA to CI was similar to those who initially underwent HA fitting.ConclusionThe majority of LVAS patients experience progressive hearing loss and undergo CI during early childhood. …”
