Larval character evolution in Holometabola (Insecta)

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Larvae, a novel type of immature stage, are a crucial innovation of the Holometabola. Larval features therefore provide key evidence for reconstructing evolutionary transformations in this megadiverse group. Here we present the first formal reconstruction of larval character evolution, using maximum parsimony and Bayesian ancestral‐state ...

An AI‐Driven Biomass Estimation Tool Enabling Population‐ and Specimen‐Level Variation Analyses: A Case Study on Parasitoid Flies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We present the first ecological application of InsectMorphoAI, a tool estimating curvilinear body length and body volume from two‐dimensional fly images. Applying this approach to tachinid flies from a Mediterranean forest near Rome, Italy, we quantified species composition, abundance, body size, body proportions, and biomass proxies in assemblages ...

Embryonic and larval development of the endangered Chiapas killifish Tlaloc hildebrandi (Cyprinodontiformes: Profundulidae)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The early ontogeny of endemic freshwater fishes provides essential baseline biological information for conservation and management, particularly in species with restricted distributions and high vulnerability to habitat degradation, environmental change and population decline. This study presents the first detailed description of embryonic and

Axial muscle‐fibre orientations in larval zebrafish

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 517-533, April 2025.
In 4 days post‐fertilization zebrafish larvae, the fast axial muscle fibres follow helical trajectories that taper towards the tail. Adjacent muscle fibres form substantial angles relative to each other to accommodate this pattern. Using a novel semi‐automatic method, we quantified 3D fibre angles over the whole muscle volume.

Orchestrated molecular changes of proliferative, migratory‐fibrillar, synaptic, and postmigratory compartments align with precocious cortex‐type specification in the early human pallium

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Early human cortical development is organized by transient cellular compartments that define cortical types before mature layers form. Analysis of the human fetal pallium (7.5–15 PCW) shows distinct spatiotemporal trajectories for the archicortex, mesocortex, and neocortex, with delayed but accelerated differentiation in allocortical regions.
