Can you really change your stripes? Stable wing ornamentation suggests limited condition‐dependent signalling in female common eiders

Ibis, EarlyView.
Variation in the expression of white ornaments, such as flank spots or wing stripes, has previously been related to indices of individual quality in birds. We measured the white wing stripes of colour‐banded female common eiders Somateria mollissima in three islands in Iceland from 2014 to 2023, to determine whether the expression of these ornaments is

A new species of inseminating catfish of the genus Tympanopleura (Siluriformes: Auchenipteridae) from the Ituxi River, Amazon River basin, northern Brazil, revealed by integrative taxonomy

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract A new species of the genus Tympanopleura is described from the Iquiri River, a tributary of the Ituxi River, a right‐bank tributary to the Purus River, Amazon River, northern Brazil. The new species is distinguished from all its congeners by a combination of features, such as the presence of an intensely pigmented square‐shaped blotch on the ...

Allometric patterns in Rhamphorhynchus muensteri and their role in the paleoecology, life habits, and taxonomic framework of pterosaurs

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The Graphical Abstract ilustrates the different allometric pattern within different Pterosauria groups, highlighting how the allometry influences the flight and habits of Pterosauria. Abstract Pterosaurs were the first vertebrates to achieve powered flight, a result of various unique anatomical adaptations, and significant morphological diversity ...

Peri‐implant tissue definition and registration with a 3D‐printed emergence profile former on titanium stock healing abutment: A dental technique and clinical report

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent focus has shifted toward refining the soft tissue emergence profile to enhance aesthetics, support peri‐implant health, and ensure long‐term success. Traditionally, titanium stock healing abutments or chairside‐customized abutments were used to shape peri‐implant tissues and develop the emergence profile for implant‐supported prostheses.

Contrasting mechanisms driving the northward expansion of African raptors in Europe

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Recent climate warming and landscape changes are enabling African raptors to reach Europe through contrasting mechanisms. Using species distribution models, we show that the Atlas Long‐legged Buzzard expands northward following climatic suitability, whereas African vultures reach Europe despite low climatic favourability through socially mediated ...
