Development of the nasal capsule in Emydura subglobosa (Testudines: Pleurodira) with a comparison to other turtles

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Extant turtles occupy freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their nasal region provides important evidence for the evolution of respiration‐ and sensory‐related cranial morphology. However, developmental data on the turtle nasal capsule remain limited, particularly in Pleurodira.

Captive Breeding of the Chinese Alligator Reduces Inbreeding but Increases Genetic Load

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Captive breeding of the Chinese alligator successfully reduced genomic inbreeding but increased the burden of deleterious mutations. Genomic analyses indicate that managing both genetic diversity and genetic load is essential for the long‐term conservation of this critically endangered species.

Accuracy of the Kato-Katz method and formalin-ether concentration technique for the diagnosis of Clonorchis sinensis, and implication for assessing drug efficacy [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Clonorchiasis is a chronic neglected disease caused by a liver fluke, Clonorchis sinensis. Chemotherapy is the mainstay of control and treatment efficacy is usually determined by microscopic examination of fecal samples.

The Complete Mitogenome of the Estuarine Clam Potamocorbula amurensis (Corbulidae, Myida) and Its Implications for Phylogeny and Adaptation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study reports the first complete mitogenome of the estuarine clam Potamocorbula amurensis, revealing its phylogenetic position as a sister group to the Myidae–Dreissenidae clade. Molecular dating indicates a Middle Jurassic divergence, and positive selection was detected in the nad5 gene, suggesting mitochondrial adaptations to osmotic stress in ...

Metagenomics Reveals Seasonal Functional Adaptation of the Gut Microbiome to Host Feeding and Fasting in the Chinese Alligator

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
As a natural hibernator, the Chinese alligator (Alligator sinensis) is an ideal and intriguing model to investigate changes in microbial community structure and function caused by hibernation.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

A new PCR-based approach indicates the range of Clonorchis sinensis now extends to central Thailand [PDF]

, 2009
Differentiation of the fish-borne trematodes belonging to the Opisthorchiidae, Heterophyidae and Lecithodendriidae is important from a clinical and epidemiological perspective, yet it is impossible to do using conventional coprological techniques, as the
