Individual identification of bony fishes using unique body markings: Implications and applications
Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract The natural variation in animal body markings, such as spots, stripes and blotches, offers a powerful tool for researchers, conservationists, citizen scientists and resource managers to distinguish specific individuals within species. By building libraries of photo‐identified individuals, we can track and differentiate individuals over time ...

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Deep‐sea elasmobranchs are less resilient to the increasing scale of anthropogenic impacts such as fisheries, owing to their life‐history traits. The necessity for proper management measures is hampered by the scant knowledge on these taxa and their biology. Here we provide the first comprehensive insight into the parasite infracommunities and

Postnatal interaction of size and shape in the human endocranium and brain structures
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Brain–cranium integration and “endocranial globularization” for the modern human was assessed on MR‐image landmarks (top left) and volumes (top right). The size and shape were evaluated as a total brain and as respective subdivisions of supratentorial (green), infratentorial (red) and cranial base (blue).

Ultrasonographic Ocular Biometry of the Greater Caribbean Manatee (Trichechus manatus manatus)
Veterinary Ophthalmology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study aimed to characterize the ocular biometry of the Trichechus manatus manatus applying B‐mode ultrasonography across different age groups. Twenty‐two animals were assessed employing a portable ultrasound device equipped with a linear transducer. Five ocular parameters were assessed: corneal thickness (CT), anterior chamber depth (ACD),
