The evo-devo origins of the nasopharynx. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken), 2022 Abstract The process by which upper respiratory tract structures have changed over deep evolutionary time is, in part, reflected in the process of embryologic development. The nasopharynx in particular is a centrally located space bounded by components of the respiratory portion of the nasal cavity, cranial base, soft palate, and Eustachian tube.

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Quantitative Synthesis of Microbe-Driven Acclimation and Adaptation in Wild Vertebrates. [PDF]
Evol ApplABSTRACT Microorganisms associated with animals harbour a unique set of functional traits pivotal for the normal functioning of their hosts. This realisation has led researchers to hypothesise that animal‐associated microbial communities may boost the capacity of their hosts to acclimatise and adapt to environmental changes, two eco‐evolutionary ...

Betaine Alleviated the Ammonia-Induced Apoptosis and Inflammation in the Skin of Largemouth Bass Fed With High-Carbohydrate Diet via Inhibiting MAPK/NFκB-Myd88 Pathway. [PDF]
Aquac NutrFish skin provides vital protection against environmental stressors and pathogens, whose health is significantly affected by dietary components. In intensive aquaculture, accumulated ammonia seriously affected fish skin structure and immune responses.

Morphology and paleoecology of a hybodontiform with serrated teeth, Priohybodus arambourgi, from the Late Jurassic of northeastern Brazil. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Abstract Hybodontiformes was a diverse, successful, and important group of shark‐like chondrichthyans known from a variety of ecosystems. Some representatives of the order had a wide palaeogeographic distribution, as is the case with Priohybodus arambourgi. With a multicuspidate crown, P. arambourgi was the first hybodontiform to develop fully serrated

Paedomorphosis and neurocranial ossification in two Devonian lungfishes
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2022 Lungfishes are one of the few early vertebrate clades with a rich 410-million-years-old fossil record. Lungfishes are characterized by a low evolutionary rate assumed to be associated with paedomorphosis since the Late Devonian.

General principles for assignments of communities from eDNA: Open versus closed taxonomic databases
Environmental DNA, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 326-342, March 2023., 2023 The collection of environmental DNA (eDNA) from water has revolutionized biodiversity assessments and enables the detection of rare and invasive species.To ensure that biodiversity is accurately detected and identified in metabarcoding studies, we must guarantee key steps in bioinformatic pipelines, and use suitable and accurate sequence reference ...
