Convergence of Aquatic Feeding Modes in the Sauropsida (Crocodiles, Birds, Lizards, Snakes and, Turtles) [PDF]

, 2023
The Sauropsida includes the extant crocodiles, birds, turtles, lizards and snakes. With roughly 30,000 described species, it is not only the largest phylogenetic group within Amniota, but the largest extant group within all tetrapods.

Aquatic birds and their food: a conservation approach

, 2023
Birds are excellent environmental indicator. They are verysensitive to their habitat. If any changes occur in their habitat, they easily sense that. Changes in the bird populations are often the first indication of environmental problems. Food forbirds playsa vital role in the conservation aspect.

Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.
