Considérations ontogénétiques et phylogénétiques concernant l’origine de la parole by Louis-Jean Boë, Jean Granat, Jean-Louis Heim, Jean-Luc Schwartz, Pierre Badin, Guillaume Barbier, Guillaume Captier, Antoine Serrurier, Nicolas Kielwasser

“…We analyzed 31 skulls from now to 1.5 Ma (millions years) BP (Before Present) for fossil hominids available at the Muséedel’Homme in Paris or in the literature: (1) 10-30 ka BP: modern humans: Paleolithic; (2) 90-200 ka BP: anatomically modern humans; (3) 45-90 ka BP: Neanderthals; (4) 1.5 Ma BP: Homoergaster; These skulls are all well kept and possess a jaw in the majority of cases but the vertebral column has been reconstituted. We attempt to: (1) Localize hyoid bone and then glottis position; (2) Reconstitute a vocal tract model in a plausible way using an articulatory model; (3) Quantify the acoustic capabilities of this reconstituted vocal tract. …”

Effect of Estradiol-17β Injection on Gonad Development of White Shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) by . Tarsim, M. Zairin Junior, E. Riani

“… The methods for hormonal control of shrimp reproduction are very limited, and only eyestalk ablation is used to induce ovarian development and spawning in shrimp farming. The occurrence of vertebrate-type steroid hormones in crustaceans have been reported, however, their physiological role are not sufficiently understood. …”

Mark loss can strongly bias estimates of demographic rates in multi-state models: a case study with simulated and empirical datasets by Touzalin, Frédéric, Petit, Eric J., Cam, Emmanuelle, Stagier, Claire, Teeling, Emma C., Puechmaille, Sébastien J.

“…To fill this knowledge gap, we employed a wide range of simulation scenarios that reflect commonly encountered real case studies, drawing inspiration from the survival rates of 700 vertebrate species. Using a multi-state, Arnason-Schwartz (AS) modelling framework, we estimated the effects of mark loss and recycled individuals on parameter estimates. …”
