Detection of Leptospira in cane toads (Rhinella jimi) from urban and rural Paraíba, Brazil
Veterinary Record, Volume 198, Issue 10, Page e461-e470, 16/23 May 2026.Abstract Background Leptospirosis is a significant zoonosis in tropical regions, where poor sanitation and favourable climate aid its spread. Synanthropic animals such as the cane toad (Rhinella jimi), which share environments with both people and wild and domestic animals, may harbour Leptospira and contribute to urban and rural transmission cycles ...

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction and Aim Spatiotemporal and taxonomic sampling bias in biodiversity occurrence data poses critical challenges for robust ecological inference, species distribution models (SDMs), and conservation planning. Despite the exponential growth in global biodiversity records over recent decades, these biases persist.

Modelling Palaeodistributions in Marine Environments: A Review
Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Aim This scoping review (ScR) synthesises the current literature on the application of Species Distribution Models (SDM) to past marine environments. We assess how these models have been used to reconstruct past environmental suitability, track biogeographical shifts and investigate long‐term ecological dynamics, while identifying key ...

Phylogeny and adaptive evolution of the brain-development gene microcephalin (
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2011 Background Representatives of Cetacea have the greatest absolute brain size among animals, and the largest relative brain size aside from humans. Despite this, genes implicated in the evolution of large brain size in primates have yet to be surveyed in ...

Size Disparity in Putative Primate Adaptive Radiations and Other Mammalian Clades
American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 4, April 2026.ABSTRACT Introduction Adaptive radiation is commonly viewed as the rapid production of phenotypic disparity and taxonomic diversity. Among primates, two clades have been identified as potential adaptive radiations: the lemurs of Madagascar and the platyrrhines of the Americas. This study examines these clades for one of the proposed signals of adaptive

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia, 1997 An incomplete skull of Hemisyntrachelus sp. (Cetacea, Delphinidae) is described from the Piacenzian clayey marls of Rio Stramonte (Piacenza, Italy). The new find confirms the abundance of Hemisyntrachelus in the peri-Adriatic area during the Pliocene.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 989-1004, April 2026.Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...
