Development of the nasal capsule in Emydura subglobosa (Testudines: Pleurodira) with a comparison to other turtles

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Extant turtles occupy freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their nasal region provides important evidence for the evolution of respiration‐ and sensory‐related cranial morphology. However, developmental data on the turtle nasal capsule remain limited, particularly in Pleurodira.

Osteohistological evidence for terrestrial adaptation and an extended growth period in mekosuchine crocodylians and its potential role in their extinction

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Australasian crocodylian fossil record is dominated by the extinct endemic clade Mekosuchinae, with known members spanning the Eocene‐to‐Holocene. This diverse clade exhibited high morphological disparity, from early members superficially similar to Crocodylus, to more terrestrial forms later in the clade's evolutionary history.

Selenomethionine Regulates the Arachidonic Acid Metabolism‐Ferroptosis‐Inflammation Axis to Ameliorate Colitis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Selenomethionine can ameliorate arachidonic acid‐induced colonic injury through synergistic mechanisms, including alleviating inflammatory responses, improving barrier integrity, enhancing antioxidant capacity by upregulating selenoprotein expression, selectively regulating AA metabolism to reduce pro‐inflammatory oxylipins and promote the production ...

Anti–Carbamylated Fibrinogen Autoantibodies of IgG and IgA Isotypes Contribute to a Better Prognostic Stratification in Very Early Rheumatoid Arthritis: Data From the French National ESPOIR Cohort

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence and longitudinal evolution of anti–carbamylated fibrinogen antibodies (ACa‐Fib) of IgG and IgA isotypes in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and determine whether these antibodies provide additional diagnostic and prognostic information beyond anti–cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti‐CCP ...

Computed tomography reveals the endocranial anatomy of Crocodylia: Implications for phylogenetic relationships and ecomorphological convergence across Crocodylomorpha. [PDF]

J Anat
The evaluation of the endocranial anatomy of 43 crocodylian species reveals several differences, including variation in the curvature of the encephalic endocast, the size of the endosseous labyrinth and paratympanic sinuses, and the presence of additional snout sinuses.

Caiman hunting in Central Amazonia, Brazil

, 2016
Hunting caimans (Caiman spp.) with baited hooks in the Brazilian Amazon represents one of the largest illegal wildlife industries in the world. Our objective was to evaluate the effects of water level, distance from settlements, and hunting effort on ...

Acute toxic leucoencephalopathy following protonitazene ingestion

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background Distribution of illicit counterfeit alprazolam containing the highly potent synthetic opioid‐receptor agonist protonitazene recently resulted in a number of severe overdoses in Ireland. We report three cases that presented to our hospital, within 6 weeks of one another, following ingestion of illicitly‐sourced alprazolam.

Vocal patterns of adult females and juveniles Caiman yacare (Crocodilia: Alligatoridae) in Brazilian Pantanal wetland

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2013
The Paraguayan caiman (Caiman yacare) is the main Caimaninae species occurring in the Brazilian Pantanal Wetland. Despite the relative availability of works focused on biology and conservation of the Paraguayan caiman, almost nothing is known about its ...

Whole‐Cell Production of Resolvin E2 and 17R‐Resolvin D5 by a Double‐Oxygenating 15S‐Lipoxygenase With 5S‐Lipoxygenase Activity From Pseudobdellovibrionaceae bacterium

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
A recombinant whole‐cell platform expressing a bacterial 15S‐LOX exhibiting 5S‐LOX activity enabled the stereoselective production of RvE2 and 17R‐RvD5 from 18R‐HEPE and 17R‐HDHA, achieving final concentrations of 0.57 mM and 1.48 mM from 4.0 mM substrates, respectively, under optimized conditions.

Evaluation of factors associated with predation on Caiman latirostris nests (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) in Argentina

Phyllomedusa: Journal of Herpetology, 2016
Predation is a major cause of crocodilian egg loss. However, at present, the mechanisms by which predators detect nests is unknown. Previous studies have reported that predators are able to detect prey using both visual and olfactory cues.
