Geometric morphometric analysis of Pleuronectiformes vertebrae: A new tool to identify archaeological fish remains? [PDF]
J Anat, 2023 Flatfish vertebrae were analysed using a combined 2D landmark‐based geometric morphometric analysis to identify the species of archaeological remains. Although good morphological distinction and identification of modern and complete vertebrae is possible, this method has limited applicability on fragmented archaeological material, as indicated by ...

Long-Term Changes in the Winter Diet of Common Dolphins Reflects Ecological Shifts and Bycatch Dynamics in the Bay of Biscay. [PDF]
Ecol EvolFirst study investigating temporal changes in the diet of the common dolphin (Delphinus delphis) in the Bay of Biscay between 1999 and 2019, we found that the diet of the common dolphin remained mainly composed of small energy‐rich fish species. However, we observed a shift in minor prey from upper slopes habitats to coastal waters reflecting a shift ...

The secret in their eyes: A review of the recessus orbitalis, a unique structure of flatfishes. [PDF]
J AnatThe recessus orbitalis is an organ responsible for projecting the eyeball above the level of the head and is uniquely present in flatfishes. The organ consists of two interconnected chambers filled with interstitial fluid and is internally coated with smooth muscle fibers that act as a double‐pump system.

Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 6, Page 1362-1377, November 2023., 2023 This study explores the diet of one of the world's most recognizable predators, the white shark. Dietary assessments are performed by genomic analysis of cloacal swabs collected from approximately 200 live sharks. Findings from this study provide insights into the trophic ecology and feeding behavior of the white shark and key marine resources ...
