Genomic signature of an avian Lilliput Effect across the K-Pg Extinction
Survivorship following major mass extinctions may be associated with a decrease in body size-a phenomenon called the Lilliput Effect. Body size is a strong predictor of many life history traits (LHTs), and is known to...

A meta-analysis of techniques to promote motivation for health behaviour change from a self-determination theory perspective
A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted of the techniques used to promote psychological need satisfaction and motivation within health interventions based on self-determination theory (SDT; Ryan & Deci, 2017)....
Autophagy Induction as a Therapeutic Strategy for Neurodegenerative Diseases.
Alvin Djajadikerta, Swati Keshri, Mariana Pavel, Ryan Prestil, Laura Ryan, David C Rubinsztein
Dec 11, 2019
Autophagy is a major, conserved cellular pathway by which cells deliver cytoplasmic contents to lysosomes for degradation. Genetic studies have revealed extensive links between autophagy and neurodegenerative disease, and...
Dinosaur diversification rates were not in decline prior to the K-Pg boundary
Determining the tempo and mode of non-avian dinosaur extinction is one of the most contentious issues in palaeobiology. Extensive disagreements remain over whether their extinction was catastrophic and geologically instantaneous...
