Multi‐night territorial behavior, chorus attendance, and mating success in red‐eyed treefrogs
Authors: Dougherty Ryan P. , Pulica Rachael M. , Caldwell Michael S. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractFor many frog species that aggregate around ponds or streams, chorus attendance, the percentage of time or nights a given male is present and actively calling at an aggregation, is the strongest documented predictor of inter‐male variation in reproductive success in the wild. Males are, thus, thought to compete via endurance rivalry, where available energetic reserves and individual physiology interact to determine chorus tenure. Frogs often exhibit territorial behavior within these aggregations, and territorial status is likely to influence a male's rate of energy expenditure. While males of several anuran species have been shown to hold territories across nights, it is not well understood whether such calling site fidelity is correlated with chorus attendance or mating success. Using subdermal RFID (PIT) tags to minimize disturbance to chorus structure, we quantified site fidelity, chorus attendance, and mating success for all male red‐eyed treefrogs (Agalychnis callidryas) within a breeding aggregation in Panama across 50 consecutive nights. We found that nearly half of these males held territories across nights, that this cross‐night territorial behavior was highly correlated with chorus attendance, and that chorus attendance was, in turn, the strongest predictor of male mating success. Males were most faithful to calling sites containing vegetation contiguous with adjacent sites and were more likely to remain at a site if they were successful in acquiring a mate there on the previous night. To our knowledge, this is the first study linking male site fidelity to chorus attendance and mating success in anurans. While female mate choice is an established driver of lineage diversification and the evolution of sexual signals, agonistic interactions between males at breeding aggregations are well‐documented from a wide range of anuran taxa. The relationship between male–male interactions and mating success deserves broader research attention among anuran species.
To negotiate, mediate or litigate? Examining the durability of divorce outcomes in the Singapore family courts

Published: June 2022

AbstractFor many years, the courts have been grappling with the paradox of marriages—the most intimate of relationships—being dissolved in the courts that represent a public and adversarial setting. Despite the growth of divorce interventions, the perennial struggle remains in many courts on how to reduce the intense acrimony of divorce litigation. The question remains on the scope of “mainstream” interventions to be offered by the courts to divorce litigants. The current study therefore explores the use of court‐connected negotiation, mediation, and litigation in the Singapore Family Justice Courts. It uses a statistical method of survival analysis to produce insights on re‐litigation trends over time and to predict the future risk of re‐litigation. Mediated divorces were found to have consistently higher durability than litigated cases and negotiated settlements. Negotiated divorce outcomes had the worst durability when the survival analysis was done in relation to re‐litigation caused by extraneous factors. These findings strongly suggest that mediation should be a highly recommended mode of dispute resolution for divorcing parties, especially when there are children to the marriage, and that there are benefits of having a neutral third party to help the parties reach a sustainable settlement.

AimsCutaneous metastases of internal malignancies occur in 1–10% of cancer patients. The diagnosis can sometimes be challenging, especially in cases with an unknown primary cancer.Materials and methodsA retrospective case review was performed including all cases of skin metastases from primary internal malignancies diagnosed at the Department of Pathology at the Maastricht University Medical Centre+ from 2007 to 2021. The clinicopathological data were collected and immunohistochemical and molecular diagnostic tests were performed to confirm the primary origin of the metastases.ResultsWe identified 152 cases (71 female; 31 male patients) of cutaneous metastases of internal malignancies. 28 patients (20 women and 8 men) were diagnosed with multiple cutaneous metastases. Among the female patients, the most common primary tumour was breast cancer (50% of the cases), followed by lung (13.6%), gynaecological (7.3%), and gastrointestinal origin (7.3%). Among the male patients, the most common primary sites were gastrointestinal and lung origin (altogether, 50% of the cases). In 19 patients, the cutaneous metastasis was the first presentation of a clinically silent internal malignancy (18.6%), of which most (78.9%) represented metastatic lung carcinomas. Finally, metastasizing patterns were different across tumour types and gender.ConclusionBreast, lung, gastrointestinal, and gynaecologic cancers are the most common primary tumours demonstrating skin metastases. Infrequently, cutaneous metastases can be the first clinically visual manifestation of an underlying not yet diagnosed internal malignancy; therefore, occasional broad immunohistochemical profiling, molecular clonal analysis, and a continuous high level of awareness are necessary for a precise diagnosis of cutaneous metastases of internal malignancies.

AimClinicopathologic characterisation of a contemporary series of neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation in the setting of prostatic carcinoma (PCa) was examined.Methods and resultsWe reviewed institutional databases for in‐house cases with a history of PCa and histopathologic evidence of NE differentiation during the disease course. In all, 79 cases were identified: 32 primary and 47 metastases. Metastatic lesions were in liver (n = 15), lymph node (n = 9), bone (n = 6), lung (n = 3), brain (n = 1), and other sites (n = 13). In all, 63 of 76 (82%) cases with NE differentiation and available history were posttherapy: six postradiation therapy (RT), 24 post‐ androgen–deprivation therapy (ADT), and 33 post‐RT + ADT. Morphologic assessment (n = 79): (i) 23 pure small‐cell/high‐grade NE carcinoma (HGNEC): 20/23 metastatic; (ii) 10 combined high‐grade PCa and small‐cell/HGNEC: 9/10 primary; (iii) 15 PCa with diffuse NE immunohistochemistry (IHC) marker positivity/differentiation, associated with nested to sheet‐like growth of cells with abundant cytoplasm and prominent nucleoli, yet diffuse positivity for at least one prostatic and one NE IHC marker: all metastatic; (iv) 11 PCa with patchy NE differentiation, displaying more than single‐cell positivity for NE IHC: five primary / six metastatic; (v) nine PCa with focal NE marker positive cells: four primary / five metastatic; (vi) 11 PCa with ‘Paneth cell‐like’ change: all primary.ConclusionsIn this contemporary series, the majority of NE differentiation in the setting of PCa was seen posttherapy. We highlight the tendencies of small‐cell/HGNEC and PCa with diffuse NE differentiation by IHC to occur in metastatic settings, while morphologically combined high‐grade PCa + small‐cell/HGNEC and ‘Paneth cell‐like’ change occur in primary disease.
Give your hunger a new option: Understanding consumers' continuous intention to use online food delivery apps using trust transfer theory

AbstractThe recent growth of online food delivery apps (OFDAs) centralized the restaurant's business in electronic distribution platforms. Recently, a few researchers have attempted to understand consumer behaviour towards using OFDAs. However, various aspects related to the usage of OFDAs have not been explored. Drawing from trust transfer theory, the purpose of this study is to fill this gap by investigating the trust transfer from OFDAs to restaurants and to address the boundary condition of trust transfer by examining the moderating effect of perceived effectiveness of dispute resolution (PEDR) between trust in OFDAs and trust in a restaurant. The model was tested via structural equation modelling (SEM) using data obtained from 836 users of OFDAs through structured questionnaire. The results show that trust in OFDAs positively influence the trust in restaurant, which ultimately leads to the consumers' continuous purchase intention. Further, PEDR positively moderates the relationship between trust in OFDAs and trust in a restaurant. Additionally, disposition to trust and online reviews significantly develops consumer trust in OFDAs. The present research makes substantial theoretical and practical contributions as it develops a trust transfer mechanism by considering an emerging mobile‐commerce field. The study provides a first theoretical outlook on consumers' continuous intention to use OFDAs, using trust transfer theory, which has not been considered so far. The findings provide information for food delivery platforms on how to manage conflict resolution to succeed in the market and help restaurants in selecting the most effective food delivery platforms with which to collaborate.
The diverse terminology of reptile eggshell microstructure and its effect on phylogenetic comparative analyses

Published: June 2022

AbstractReptile eggshell ensures water and gas exchange during incubation and plays a key role in reproductive success. The diversity of reptilian incubation and life history strategies has led to many clade‐specific structural adaptations of their eggshell, which have been studied in extant taxa (i.e. birds, crocodilians, turtles, and lepidosaurs). Most studies on non‐avian eggshells were performed over 30 years ago and categorized reptile eggshells into two main types: “hard” and “soft” – sometimes with a third intermediate category, “semi‐rigid.” In recent years, however, debate over the evolution of eggshell structure of major reptile clades has revealed how definitions of hard and soft eggshells influence inferred deep‐time evolutionary patterns. Here, we review the diversity of extant and fossil eggshell with a focus on major reptile clades, and the criteria that have been used to define hard, soft, and semi‐rigid eggshells. We show that all scoring approaches that retain these categories discretize continuous quantitative traits (e.g. eggshell thickness) and do not consider independent variation of other functionally important microstructural traits (e.g. degree of calcification, shell unit inner structure). We demonstrate the effect of three published approaches to discretizing eggshell type into hard, semi‐rigid, and soft on ancestral state reconstructions using 200+ species representing all major extant and extinct reptile clades. These approaches result in different ancestral states for all major clades including Archosauria and Dinosauria, despite a difference in scoring for only 1–4% of the sample. Proposed scenarios of reptile eggshell evolution are highly conditioned by sampling, tree calibration, and lack of congruence between definitions of eggshell type. We conclude that the traditional “soft/hard/semi‐rigid” classification of reptilian eggshells should be abandoned and provide guidelines for future descriptions focusing on specific functionally relevant characteristics (e.g. inner structures of shell units, pores, and membrane elements), analyses of these traits in a phylogenetic context, and sampling of previously undescribed taxa, including fossil eggs.

AbstractThis study aimed to evaluate the effect of turmeric powder (TP) supplementation on laying hens' performance, blood biochemical parameters and egg quality parameters. In total, 144 laying hens (Hy‐line W36) ageing 53 weeks were used in this study. Birds were randomly assigned to three treatments (6 replicates, 8 birds in each). The diets contained 0 (control), 0.25, and 0.5% TP based on the maize−soybean meal. It was found that the TP supplementation significantly reduced egg production, weight and mass throughout the experiment (p < 0.05). However, the feed conversion ratio increased (p < 0.05), whereas feed intake remained unaffected. Yolk percentage, height and index reduced, and the yolk colour, accompanied by the egg‐shell percentage, increased (p< 0.05) during the first 4 weeks of the experiment. Interestingly, only the albumen pH was affected by TP supplementation during the second 4 weeks (p < 0.05). The serum malondialdehyde level reduced significantly, and the total antioxidant capacity increased in the groups fed on the diets supplemented with TP (p < 0.05). Serum lipids levels, including triglyceride, cholesterol and very‐low‐density lipoprotein (VLDL), and the yolk triglyceride level reduced due to TP supplementation (p < 0.05). The interactive effect of all three independent factors on the internal quality traits of the stored eggs was significant only for yolk pH (p < 0.05). Thus, TP could be a potential lipid reducing factor, especially triglycerides, and a natural antioxidant in laying hens' diet. However, it may significantly impair the productive performance of laying hens under normal environmental conditions.

AbstractTwo studies were conducted to determine the impact of the amount of high‐fibre pellet (HFP) in the diet and bedding material on feed intake, eating behaviour, rumination, activity and resting behaviour, and also nutrient digestibility in bongo (Tragelaphus eurycerus). In Study 1, bongo were fed meadow hay (ad libitum), lucerne hay (0.5 kg/day), browse (0.7 kg/day) and a ‘basal diet’ containing 0.75 kg/day (low; LP), 1.50 kg/day (medium; MP) or 2.25 kg/day (high; HP) of HFP consisting mostly of insoluble fibre sources (dehydrated grass, dehydrated lucerne, wheat bran). In Study 2, experimental diets resembled those used in Study 1 with the main difference being that bongo were fed 1 or 2 kg of HFP/day and pens were bedded with straw (SB) or wood shavings (WB) (2 × 2 factorial design). In Study 1, dry matter (DM) intake of meadow hay decreased linearly (p < 0.01) with an increasing amount of HFP in the diet but total DM intake increased (p < 0.01). Eating time of basal diet (min/day) increased linearly (p = 0.01), whereas eating time of meadow hay tended to (p = 0.06) decrease linearly with an increasing amount of HFP in the diet. In Study 2, total DM intake was greater for HP treatments compared to LP treatments (p < 0.01) but meadow hay DM intake did not differ between treatments. Straw was consumed by animals and its usage as a bedding material increased meadow hay DM intake and browse DM intake (p ≤ 0.02), and consequently total DM intake (p = 0.03), compared with wood shavings bedding. Feeding more HFP to bongo tended to (p = 0.07) decrease rumination time per day and increased rumination rate (g DM/min). In conclusion, an increased amount of HFP (>1.5−2 kg/day/animal) rich in insoluble fibre in the diet consisting mostly of meadow hay may decrease the intake of roughages by bongo and reduce rumination time. On the other hand, the usage of straw (instead of wood shavings) as bedding unexpectedly increased the intake of roughages by bongo.
Coordinating Behaviors: Is social interaction scripted?
Authors: Eickers Gen 
Published: June 2022

AbstractSome philosophical and psychological approaches to social interaction posit a powerful explanatory tool for explaining how we navigate social situations: scripts. Scripts tell people how to interact in different situational and cultural contexts depending on social roles such as gender. A script theory of social interaction puts emphasis on understanding the world as normatively structured. Social structures place demands, roles, and ways to behave in the social world upon us, which, in turn, guide the ways we interact with one another and the ways we coordinate our behaviors. In this paper, I explore the phenomenon of coordinated behaviors in social interactions in humans. I argue that looking closely at everyday interactions, for which social coordination is central, strongly points to a fundamental role of scripts for social cognition and interaction. In order to explain some social interactions, like those based on social coordination, we do not need to recourse to mental state attribution. Rather, I argue, scripts are a powerful resource for explaining social interaction and especially coordinated behaviors. Scripts have been neglected in standard approaches to social cognition but are (re‐)gaining attention via the normative turn in social cognition.

AbstractSustained and diel‐cycling hypoxia frequently occurs in high‐latitude environments; however, fish's biochemical, physiological, and histological responses to these two conditions remain unknown. Current hypotheses posit that the heart and the brain of fish from high latitudes are integral to their hypoxia tolerance and that fish exhibit different response mechanisms to cope with sustained and diel‐cycling hypoxic conditions. To test this, we acclimated Phoxinus lagowskii, a high‐latitude fish, to ecologically relevant sustained and diel‐cycling hypoxia conditions over 28 days. Histological analysis revealed changes in the relative thickness of the layers in the midbrain. There was a prominent upsurge of oxidative stress biomarkers in diel‐cycling hypoxia (DCH) treatments, with superoxide dismutase and catalase activity. Our data suggested that triglycerides in the heart were elevated in DCH groups but remained unchanged regardless of sustained hypoxia (SH) treatments. The majority of enzyme activities (LDH, PK, PFK, and HK) increased in DCH groups, especially at day 28. The gene expression results indicated that HIF mainly regulated long‐term DCH in the heart and regulated SH in the brain. Collectively, these findings reveal that P. lagowskii exhibits varied adaptation strategies to the exposure of sustained and diel‐cycling hypoxia.

AbstractInducible prey defences occur when organisms undergo plastic changes in phenotype to reduce predation risk. When predation pressure varies persistently over space or time, such as when predator and prey co‐occur over only part of their biogeographic ranges, prey populations can become locally adapted in their inducible defences. In California estuaries, native Olympia oyster (Ostrea lurida) populations have evolved disparate phenotypic responses to an invasive predator, the Atlantic oyster drill (Urosalpinx cinerea). In this study, oysters from an estuary with drills, and oysters from an estuary without drills, were reared for two generations in a laboratory common garden, and subsequently exposed to cues from Atlantic drills. Comparative proteomics was then used to investigate molecular mechanisms underlying conserved and divergent aspects of their inducible defences. Both populations developed smaller, thicker, and harder shells after drill exposure, and these changes in shell phenotype were associated with upregulation of calcium transport proteins that could influence biomineralization. Inducible defences evolve in part because defended phenotypes incur fitness costs when predation risk is low. Immune proteins were downregulated by both oyster populations after exposure to drills, implying a trade‐off between biomineralization and immune function. Following drill exposure, oysters from the population that co‐occurs with drills grew smaller shells than oysters inhabiting the estuary not yet invaded by the predator. Variation in the response to drills between populations was associated with isoform‐specific protein expression. This trend suggests that a stronger inducible defence response evolved in oysters that co‐occur with drills through modification of an existing mechanism.
A systematic review of relationship maintenance: Reflecting back and looking to the future
Authors: Ogolsky Brian G. , Stafford Laura 
Published: June 2022

AbstractRelationship maintenance processes include a wide range of activities and cognitions that romantic partners engage in to sustain or enhance their relationships. In this article, we review literature from the past two decades (2002–2021). We focus on key definitional and conceptual issues in the study of relational maintenance. Guided by a lens of intersectionality, we then perform a theoretically‐driven review of the empirical articles published over the last 20 years paying careful attention to the nature of the samples, methods, and privileged research questions. We conclude by offering a reflection on the current state of this literature and provide suggestions for future research.

Published: June 2022

AbstractInterventional radiology (IR) is a rapidly expanding medical subspecialty and refers to a range of image‐guided procedural techniques. The image guidance allows real‐time visualization and precision placement of a needle, catheter, wire and device to deep body structures through small incisions. Advantages include reduced risks, faster recovery and shorter hospital stays, lower costs and less patient discomfort. The range of chest interventional procedures keeps on expanding due to improved imaging facilities, better percutaneous assess devices and advancing ablation and embolization techniques. These advances permit procedures to be undertaken safely, simultaneously and effectively, hence escalating the role of IR in the treatment of chest disorders. This review article aims to cover the latest developments in some image‐guided techniques of the chest, including thermal ablation therapy of lung malignancy, targeted therapy of pulmonary embolism, angioplasty and stenting of mediastinal venous/superior vena cava occlusion, pulmonary arteriovenous malformation treatment and bronchial artery embolization for haemoptysis.
