Abstract Ginglymostoma cirratum, commonly known as the nurse shark, is a nocturnally active benthic shark, often found in western and eastern Atlantic waters. Although this shark has been well explored in many biological aspects, few studies have thoroughly examined the morphology of its dermal denticles (or placoid scales).

Historical shifts, geographic biases, and biological constraints shape mammal species discovery
Taxonomic descriptions of mammals have become more robust from 1990 to 2025, with increased specimen sampling, broader comparisons, and more integrative methods. However, disparities remain: tropical and small‐bodied species are less comprehensively described, reflecting ongoing geographic and biological biases.

In our recent study, we examined whether ants in the Brazilian Cerrado follow the “grain‐size hypothesis,” which proposes that larger ants should have proportionally longer legs to move efficiently across different environments. We used Ectatomma permagnum, a common predatory ant in the Cerrado, measuring hundreds of individuals collected from various ...
