AI Article Synopsis
- Stanford explores why humans develop moral views about certain preferences, shedding new insights on moralization.
- His analysis raises questions about how moralization relates to the evolution of group dynamics or tribal formation.
- It's unclear whether his model influences these dynamics or merely offers an explanation for the existence of moralizing tendencies that traditional models can then use.
Article Abstract
Stanford casts original light on the question of why humans moralize some preferences. However, his account leaves some ambiguity around the relationship between the evolutionary function of moralization and the dynamics of tribal formation. Does the model govern these dynamics, or only explain why there are moralizing dispositions that more conventional modeling of the dynamics can exploit?

Applying an Indigenous Connectedness Framework to Examine Environmental Risk and Protective Factors for Urban American Indian Children's Executive Function Development.
Behav Sci (Basel)

Center for Indigenous Health, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21231, USA.
Indigenous frameworks suggest environmental risk and protective factors for American Indian (AI) children's development can be understood in terms of connecting and disconnecting forces in five domains: spirituality, family, intergenerational ties, community, and environment/land. This study examined the prevalence of these forces among 156 urban AI parents and their children (mean age = 10.69, = 1.

Article Synopsis
- - Harmful algal blooms (HABs) threaten shellfish harvesting in Southeast Alaska, with new Tribally-led studies revealing complex patterns in shellfish toxins that can't be solely traced to seasonal blooms.
- - Observations show that larger butter clams tend to have higher levels of paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs), even when overall toxin levels appear stable.
- - The findings suggest that larger clams have a heightened risk of contributing to toxic levels in harvested samples, which is important for monitoring programs and local harvesters’ safety.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) affects millions of people and has limited treatment options, thus making it a global health concern. Amyloid β (Aβ), a disrupted cholinergic system with high acetylcholinesterase (AChE), oxidative stress (OS), reduced antioxidants, and neuroinflammation are key factors influencing AD progression. Prior research has shown that AChE can interact with Aβ and increase its accumulation and neurotoxicity, so targeting AChEs and Aβ could be a potential therapeutic approach for AD treatment.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how a female's age and mating status affect ovarian development and other physical characteristics in the tortoise beetle, Aspidomorpha miliaris.
- It was hypothesized that age and mating would not influence ovarian size or fat content, but that these factors would impact ootheca (egg case) formation.
- The findings revealed significant effects of age and mating on accessory gland and ovariole growth, with notable changes in fat content and elytral (wing) color, suggesting further research is needed to explore the role of the accessory gland in ootheca formation.

Department of Geoscience, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, WI, USA.
The severe greenhouse climate and seasonality of the early to mid-Late Triassic are thought to have limited terrestrial diversity at lower latitudes, but direct adaptations to these harsh conditions remain limited in vertebrates at the palaeoequator. Here, we present gen. et sp.
