Structural and sequence evolution of U17 small nucleolar RNA (snoRNA) and its phylogenetic congruence in chelonians.

, 2003
Vertebrate U17 RNA is an intron-encoded H/CA box containing snoRNA, which has been intensively studied in the last decade, though its precise role in ribosome biogenesis is not yet clear.

Geographical Variation in Body Size and Sexual Size Dimorphism (SSD) in the Epaulette Shark (Hemiscyllium ocellatum)

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Body size is of paramount importance to the survival of all organisms because of the intimate associations between size, physiological processes and ecology. Sexual size dimorphism (SSD: differences in size between the sexes) is a direct consequence of these ecomorphological relationships, arising due to sex‐based differences in selection ...

Micro and Nanostructural Diversity of Lizard Osteoderm Capping Tissue in Relation to Mechanical Performance

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 26, 30 March 2026.
This study shows that lizard osteoderm capping tissue is a hyper‐mineralized hydroxyapatite layer consistently covering the superficial osteoderm surface in those species studied here, yet it varies greatly in morphology, nanostructure, and mechanical performance across species.
