Ontogenetic Development of Hyperostosis in the Crevalle Jack Caranx hippos (Linnaeus, 1766) and New Records of Affected Bone Regions

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hyperostosis is a non‐pathological condition widely reported in marine teleosts, yet its developmental dynamics and underlying drivers remain poorly understood. This study investigates the ontogenetic progression and anatomical distribution of hyperostosis in Caranx hippos based on a growth series of 39 specimens collected along the Brazilian ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of microcystin contamination in fish across the Lake Chaohu basin under the Yangtze River ten-year fishing ban: Ecological and human health implications

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Microcystins (MCs), produced by harmful cyanobacterial blooms, pose a threat to aquatic ecosystems and public health in the Yangtze River basin, including Lake Chaohu, which implemented a ten-year fishing ban in 2021 for ecological restoration.

Reconstructing the major skull myology of the giant stem‐amphibian Mastodonsaurus: A case study for early tetrapods

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We reconstruct the major cranial musculature of the giant stem amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus, revealing a differentiated jaw‐adductor system, a probable sesamoid pulley, and previously unrecognised muscles. This EPB‐based case study establishes an anatomical framework for modelling feeding in early tetrapods and supports interpretations of ...

Geographical proliferation of ongoing novel host use by the herbivorous ladybird beetle Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

open access: yesEntomological Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, December 2026.
The geographical extent of occurrence of the Solanaceae‐feeding Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata on the novel fabaceous host Centrosema molle and the ability of larvae from several beetle populations to develop on C. molle were investigated to depict the incipient phase in the speciation continuum of herbivorous ladybird beetles.

Corneal Sequestration and Bilateral Distichiasis in a Binturong (Arctictis binturong)

open access: yesVeterinary Ophthalmology, Volume 29, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective To report the first documented case of corneal sequestration and distichiasis in a binturong (Arctictis binturong), discuss implications of disease prevalence in a non‐domestic feliform, and hypothesize on potential etiology and predisposing factors for corneal sequestration.

Attractants in plant protein-based diets for the carnivorous largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides

open access: yesScientia Agricola, 2004
Adding attractants can improve acceptability of artificial diets by carnivorous fish fry and fingerlings, increasing intake of unpalatable feeds and improving growth rate, while reducing feeding time and feeding wastes.

Functional anatomy, jaw mechanisms, and feeding behavior of Dunkleosteus terrelli (Placodermi, Arthrodira)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2574-2635, October 2026.
A new musculoskeletal reconstruction and revision of the cranio‐mandibular anatomy of the Devonian arthrodire placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli from a comparative and functional anatomical perspective. Dunkleosteus is a specialized arthrodire with many specializations for feeding on large vertebrates, and many of its features are part of broader ...

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2698-2724, October 2026.
Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.

Neuroanatomical diversity in Teleocichla with new volumetric and histological insights into the encephalon of Teleocichla monogramma Kullander 1988

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2897-2912, October 2026.
Abstract Teleocichla comprises small cichlids that inhabit the rapid streams of Amazonian rivers; however, there has been limited research on their encephalon morphology. This study examined the neuroanatomy of four species, focusing on volumetric measurements of their encephalon subregions, and providing a histological description of the encephalon of

eDNA Metabarcoding Reveals the Depth-Structured Variation of Coral Reef Fish

open access: yesFishes
Global coral reef ecosystems face various levels of disturbance pressure. Understanding the depth-structured variation in coral reef fish communities can help us to better grasp and predict the adaptive changes of the ecosystem under different stressors.
