Morphometric analysis of postnatal lung development in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica): An ultrastructural study

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

Osteohistology of two phorusrhacids reveals uninterrupted growth strategy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Phorusrhacidae were apex predators that primarily dominated South America ecosystems for at least 40 million years with their imposing size and predatory lifestyle—yet some aspects of their biology remain poorly understood. Osteohistology is a tool for understanding growth dynamics and biomechanical adaptations.

Bioprospecting Ulleungdo‐isolated microalgae for carbon valorization and utilization

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract The growing demand for renewable energy alternatives has intensified global interest in microalgae as versatile bioresources for carbon valorization and bioenergy production. Owing to their rapid growth and biochemical versatility, microalgae provide a sustainable route for converting captured carbon into bioenergy and high‐value products ...

Implantation of subcutaneous heart rate data loggers in southern elephant seals (Mirounga leonina) [PDF]

, 2017
Unlike most phocid species (Phocidae), Mirounga leonina (southern elephant seals) experience a catastrophic moult where they not only replace their hair but also their epidermis when ashore for approximately 1 month.
