Abstract: Melanin is a common pigment that can indicate individual quality to potential mates and social dominance to competitors. For many avian species, plumage melanism varies within both males and females. If predictive of individual quality,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02713683.2022.2025844
Abstract: Abstract Purpose Higher order ocular aberrations (e.g. entopic scatter) arising from cornea and lens, decreases retinal image contrast by dispersing part of the image-forming optics over a broad retinal surface. Selective filtering of the light… read more here.

DOI: 10.1108/dlo-03-2020-0060
Abstract: Purpose The paper explores if individuals experiencing deeply meaningful work turn self-centric and therein they negatively affect people around them. It also discusses ways to attenuate this darker effect of meaningful work. Design/methodology/approach Semi-structured interviews… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/srt.12795
Abstract: To the Editor, Voigt‐Futcher pigmentary demarcation lines (VFPDL) are abrupt transition lines between more deeply pigmented skin areas and lighter ones. They are mainly a cosmetic problem, rather common in individuals with darker skin types,1,2… read more here.
