Broadening the semiaquatic scene: Quantification of long bone microanatomy across pinnipeds

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2124-2150, August 2026.
Abstract Investigations of bone microanatomy are commonly used to explore lifestyle strategies in vertebrates. While distinct microanatomical limb bone features have been established for exclusively aquatic and terrestrial lifestyles, identifying clear patterns for the semiaquatic lifestyle remains more challenging.

A Novel Green Method for Producing Medical‐Grade Chitosan From Loligo plei Squid Pens

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 25, July 5, 2026.
This work demonstrates a sustainable and simplified process for the production of medical‐grade chitosan from the feathers of the squid Loligo plei, employing mild chemical treatments to preserve the integrity of the polymer while achieving high purity and performance.

Trends in Aquatic Environmental DNA Research in Alaska

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis is an emerging tool with significant potential to advance biomonitoring, particularly in remote and logistically challenging environments. To evaluate the state of eDNA research in Alaska, we conducted a literature review and a regional survey and results provide the first comprehensive overview of eDNA research in ...

Lateralization of eye use in cuttlefish: opposite direction for anti-predatory and predatory behaviors.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
Vertebrates with laterally placed eyes typically exhibit preferential eye use for ecological activities such as scanning for predators or prey. Processing visual information predominately through the left or right visual field has been associated with ...

Abundant interactions and feedbacks between aquatic deoxygenation and the other planetary boundaries suggest “unsafe” levels of oxygen loss with far‐reaching impacts

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Oxygen is critical for nearly all life on Earth, including aquatic species that breathe dissolved oxygen in both freshwater and marine systems. The rapid, global, and anthropogenic loss of dissolved oxygen known as “aquatic deoxygenation” threatens life in these environments, the human communities that depend on them, and Earth system ...
