This study describes a new hexamerous epizoic brittle star species, Gymnolophus sexradia sp. nov., from the South China Sea, which lives on crinoid hosts and exhibits a six‐armed body plan possibly indicating fissiparity. Its vertebral and arm plate structures enhance horizontal flexibility for grasping the host, and phylogenetic analysis based on ...

Effects of Simulated Herbivory on the Thermal Resilience of Two Temperate Seagrass Species
This study investigates how reduced leaf size via simulated herbivory influences the thermal performance of temperate seagrasses. Simulated herbivory enhanced physiological performance and resilience under elevated temperatures in Posidonia australis, but not in Heterozostera tasmanica.

Non‐Native Rodents Dominate Understory Frugivory in the Eastern Caribbean Islands
We investigated how non‐native mammals have disrupted frugivory by using artificial fruits and camera traps to measure native and non‐native frugivory interactions on 13 islands in the eastern Caribbean. We found that non‐native Rattus sp. were responsible for nearly 80% of all frugivorous activity and that increased non‐native mammal activity was ...

Integrating Augmented Reality Into Otologic Cadaveric Surgical Training
This pilot study developed and implemented a specimen‐specific augmented reality (AR) workflow for cadaveric temporal bone dissection, using CT‐derived 3D models registered to each specimen and viewed intermittently through a Microsoft HoloLens 2 headset.

Food availability impacts oxygen isotope composition in freshwater snail shells
Abstract Freshwater mollusk shells serve as valuable archives for the reconstruction of past environmental conditions as they record water temperatures in their stable isotopic compositions during biomineralization. Yet, the impact of food availability on these isotopic records has never been fully explored.
