Morphology and paleoecology of a hybodontiform with serrated teeth, Priohybodus arambourgi, from the Late Jurassic of northeastern Brazil [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 1, Page 5-32, January 2026.Abstract Hybodontiformes was a diverse, successful, and important group of shark‐like chondrichthyans known from a variety of ecosystems. Some representatives of the order had a wide palaeogeographic distribution, as is the case with Priohybodus arambourgi. With a multicuspidate crown, P. arambourgi was the first hybodontiform to develop fully serrated

New Species of Babinskaiidae (Insecta: Neuroptera) From the Mid‐Cretaceous of Myanmar and the Morphological Divergence of the Family Across the Cretaceous [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.Two new species of Babinskaiidae are reported from the mid‐Cretaceous of Myanmar and the morphological divergence of the family across the Cretaceous is quantified. The Babinskaiidae assemblages from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation and the Upper Cretaceous Kachin amber are separated by a pronounced morphological divergence in both overall size and

Hyperdominant Trees Reveal Savanna Vulnerability Under Climate Change [PDF]
Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 4, April 2026.The Brazilian Cerrado's forest structure relies disproportionately on just 30 hyperdominant tree species, which represent 50% of all individuals despite accounting for only 2% of species richness. This study evaluates their vulnerability under climate change scenarios for 2100.
