A Latitudinal Gradient of Reference Genomes
Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 23, December 2025.ABSTRACT Global inequality rooted in legacies of colonialism and uneven development can lead to systematic biases in scientific knowledge. In ecology and evolutionary biology, findings, funding and research effort are disproportionately concentrated at high latitudes, while biological diversity is concentrated at low latitudes.

Semicircular canal morphology in Rodentia and its relationship to locomotion
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 5, Page 953-969, November 2025.Here, we present a selection of rodent inner ear 3D models in the lateral view, with rodents from seven locomotor categories (left to right: fossorial, semifossorial, semiaquatic, terrestrial, ricochetal, arboreal, and gliding). Semicircular canal (SCC) morphology, including radius of curvature and shape, can be differentiated between specialized forms

Osteology and cranial musculature of Caiman latirostris (crocodylia: Alligatoridae)
Journal of Morphology, 2011 AbstractCaiman latirostris Daudin is one of the extant species of Caimaninae alligatorids characterized taxonomically only by external morphological features. In the present contribution, we describe the cranial osteology and myology of this species and its morphological variation. Several skull dissections and comparisons with other caimans were made.

Exploring gaps, biases, and research priorities in the evidence for reptile conservation actions
Conservation Biology, Volume 39, Issue 5, October 2025.Abstract With over 21% of reptile species threatened with extinction, there is an urgent need to ensure conservation actions to protect and restore populations are informed by relevant, reliable evidence. We examined the geographic and taxonomic distribution of 707 studies that tested the effects of actions to conserve reptiles synthesized in ...

The evolution of muscle spindles
Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 10, Page 1401-1421, October 1, 2025.Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.

Integrative Conservation, Volume 4, Issue 3, Page 442-463, September 2025.In this study, we analyze the conservation status of Ethiopia's amphibian and reptile diversity in terms of coverage with protected areas and global representation in conservation breeding facilities. We identify conservation gaps and suggest priorities for improvement.
