Do cladistic and morphometric data capture common patterns of morphological disparity?

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 58, Issue 3, Page 393-399, May 2015., 2015
Abstract The distinctly non‐random diversity of organismal form manifests itself in discrete clusters of taxa that share a common body plan. As a result, analyses of disparity require a scalable comparative framework. The difficulties of applying geometric morphometrics to disparity analyses of groups with vastly divergent body plans are overcome ...

Urban–Wild Interface Diversity: A Comprehensive Checklist of Herpetofauna of Guayaquil, Ecuador

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Amphibians and reptiles in Guayaquil comprise multiple taxonomic orders and occur across conservation areas, forest remnants, and urban parks, including several endemic species and numerous taxa with type localities in the city. Although most species are globally classified as Least Concern, discrepancies between global and national threat assessments ...

Desmosomal Molecules In and Out of Adhering Junctions: Normal and Diseased States of Epidermal, Cardiac and Mesenchymally Derived Cells

open access: yesDermatology Research and Practice, Volume 2010, Issue 1, 2010., 2010
Current cell biology textbooks mention only two kinds of cell‐to‐cell adhering junctions coated with the cytoplasmic plaques: the desmosomes (maculae adhaerentes), anchoring intermediate‐sized filaments (IFs), and the actin microfilament‐anchoring adherens junctions (AJs), including both punctate (puncta adhaerentia) and elongate (fasciae adhaerentes ...

An overview of the postcranial osteology of caecilians (Gymnophiona, Lissamphibia)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 674-699, March 2026.
Abstract Caecilians comprise a relatively small (~220 species) group (Gymnophiona) of snake‐like or worm‐like, mostly tropical amphibians. Most adult caecilians are fossorial, although some species may live in aquatic or semi‐aquatic environments, either as larvae or adults.

From Ancient Techniques to Modern Solutions: In Situ Synthesis of C‐S‐H for Sandstone Conservation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 29, August 7, 2025.
Herein, this work presents a paleo‐inspired approach to synthesizing and optimizing C‐S‐H‐based grouting mortars for conserving the sandstone of Beishan Grottoes, Dazu Rock Carvings, China. By achieving an optimal recipe compatible with natural sandstone, this work demonstrates the pivotal role of hydrogen bonding in the adhesion between C‐S‐H mortars ...

Seasonal Analysis of the Male Reproductive Tract and Germ Cell Proliferation in Leptodactylus podicipinus (Anura)

open access: yesJournal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 8, August 2025.
Box 1: Anuran reproductive morphology and dynamics are complex and diverse. Box 2: It is essential to comprehend reproductive morphology in a broad sense and simultaneously at different organizational levels. Box 3: The study characterizes the components of the male reproductive tract and assess testicular cell proliferation throughout the reproductive

Cariotipo de Leptodactylus insularum (Anura: leptodactilidae (Barbour, 1906) presente en un fragmento de bosque seco tropical de la región caribe colombiana [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Colombia is one of the most biodiverse countries in anuran species, however, many of them are in a vulnerable situation. This has the added problem that for most of them the genetic wealth and possible variations between biotopes is unknown.

Tropical Rainfall and eDNA Washout Impact Estimations of Amazonian Biodiversity Patterns From Environmental Samples

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 3, May–June 2025.
We used eDNA to assess seasonal biodiversity patterns in a tropical river in French Guiana. Our results show that rainfall increases the detection of terrestrial species through eDNA washout and leads to species homogenization via increased eDNA transport.
