Pinopsin Regulates Melatonin Production and Daily Locomotor Activity: Functional Insights From Gene‐Edited Xenopus Tadpoles

open access: yesJournal of Pineal Research, Volume 78, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Circadian rhythm alignment depends on environmental light detection via opsins. Pinopsin, originally identified in the pineal organ of birds and later in amphibian pineal complex and eyes, may play a role in this process, though its function has not been genetically tested.

Pre‐oviposition development of the brown anole (Anolis sagrei)

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 2, Page 145-167, February 2026.
Abstract Background The brown anole, Anolis sagrei, has emerged as a representative squamate species for developmental studies during the past decades. Novel functional tools have been established to manipulate embryogenesis through genome editing or the introduction of small molecule inhibitors, and their effective use requires a thorough ...

Does ecology predict taxonomy? How ecological differentiation can be used to spatially infer intraspecific diversity

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 518-530, February 2026.
Abstract Assessing the true dimension of biodiversity is a major challenge. Many species hide within them a diversity that is now being uncovered using molecular data. However, population genetic studies tend to be resource‐consuming and more difficult to apply to a broader range of taxa, limiting scalability.

Tooth–bone attachment tissue is produced by cells with a mixture of odontoblastic and osteoblastic features in reptiles

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 2, Page 251-268, February 2026.
Tooth attachment in vertebrates ranges from ligament‐based anchorage in mammals to direct fusion in many reptiles. In the veiled chameleon, we identified a transient cell population—termed ankyloblasts—at the tooth‐bone interface. These cells exhibit both odontoblast‐ and osteoblast‐like features.

Radiographic-anatomical aspects and gastrointestinal transit time in the spectacled caiman Caiman crocodilus crocodilus (Linnaeus, 1758) (Crocodylia, Alligatoridae)

open access: yesBiotemas, 2014
In Brazil, there is increasing interest in the establishment of captive breeding programs for caiman. However, there is a paucity of in-depth studies on the proper care of these reptiles in captivity, particularly regarding optimal food type and ...
