Gonadal development in scorpion mud‐turtles, Kinosternon scorpioides, in a controlled environment
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Stage 20 was identified as the critical point for gonadal differentiation in Kinosternon scorpioides, providing key insights into sex determination. These findings enhance conservation strategies by supporting reproductive management and population viability in both in situ and ex situ programs. Abstract Research on gonadal development including sexual

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract This study investigated the physiological and morphological adaptations of the liver of the carnivorous fish Pygocentrus nattereri (piranha) in response to seasonal variations (dry and rainy seasons) in the Brazilian Pantanal. The objective was to describe how the liver, a central organ in metabolic regulation, responds to environmental ...

Biodiversity Conservation of Aquatic Ecosystems
, 2022 Freshwater systems are among the most endangered biomes globally. Drivers and pressures include an increased demand for food, energy and water, expansion of urban areas that leads to changes in hydrology and water chemistry, as well as climate change which acts as overarching threat interacting with multiple aspects of the ecosystem.

Aquatic eDNA for monitoring French Guiana biodiversity [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2019 Environmental DNA [eDNA] metabarcoding has recently emerged as a non-destructive alternative to traditional sampling for characterising species assemblages. We here provide a consistent dataset synthetising all eDNA sampling sites in French Guiana to date. Field collections have been initiated in 2014 and have continued until 2019.

Dental anomalies in Pleistocene African hippopotamuses from Olduvai Bed II
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Hippopotamuses are key palaeoenvironmental indicators in African Pleistocene ecosystems due to their ecological dependence on permanent water bodies and their frequent representation in the fossil record. This study examines dental anomalies in Hippopotamus cf. gorgops from several localities in Bed II of Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania), dated to ca.
