The effects of annual cycle stages and life-history traits on feather abrasion by Yosef Kiat, Quentin Dupriez, Gina Pyo, Oliver J. L. Fox, Rafi Paz, Hans-Jürgen Eilts, Carlos Talabante, Nir Sapir

“…The timing of feather moult plays a pivotal role in influencing abrasion rates during the breeding season, with species that undergo moult nearer to the breeding season, during winter (pre-breeding moult), showing significantly lower abrasion rates than those moulting before the autumn migration (post-breeding moult), likely a result of the weakening of the feather structure over time. …”

The evolutionary analysis of emerging low frequency HIV-1 CXCR4 using variants through time--an ultra-deep approach. by John Archer, Andrew Rambaut, Bruce E Taillon, P Richard Harrigan, Marilyn Lewis, David L Robertson

“…Then, in conjunction with coreceptor prediction algorithms that infer HIV tropism, our software was used to quantify the viral population structure pre- and post-treatment. In both cases, low frequency CXCR4-using variants (2.5-15%) were detected prior to treatment. …”

Authority and Moral Conflicts in the Films of Adébáyọ Fálétí: Àfọ̀njá, Gáà, Ṣawo Ṣẹ̀gbẹ̀rì and the Yorùbá Cosmopolis by Olayinka Agbetuyi

“…Fálétí demonstrates the mastery of dramaturgy in Àfọ̀njá and Gáà by juxtaposing the dynamics of running a state originally built on a confederation of city state structure very much like the Greek city state structure, at the latter’s comparative stage of political evolution, with a new imperial structure and the conflicts generated by the flux of the two systems; whereas in Ṣawo Ṣẹ̀gbẹ̀rì moral conflict is generated by interpersonal amatorial clashes as well as models of expertise. …”
