Exploring the cranial morphology and possible convergences of Triassic non‐crocodylomorph pseudosuchians (Archosauria: Pseudosuchia) with other sauropsids through linear morphometrics

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Triassic pseudosuchians had highly diversified cranial morphologies. These archosaurs occupied diverse ecological roles, ranging from terrestrial predators and herbivores to semiaquatic ambush predators and possible waders. Here, we apply linear cranial morphometrics to assess possible convergences with other sauropsids from the clades ...

Evolution of the male reproductive system in Penaeoidea (Dendrobranchiata): Integrating morphological and molecular data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Penaeoidea shrimps exhibit substantial diversity in reproductive morphology, but the evolutionary history of the male reproductive system (MRS) and its congruence with molecular phylogenies remain poorly understood. This study characterized MRS morphology across Penaeoidea and used these morphological data, together with a molecular phylogeny ...

Heat Stress and Gut Microbiome Dynamics in Poultry: Interplay, Consequences, and Mitigation Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Heat stress disrupts gut microbial balance in poultry, impairing nutrient absorption and immunity. This review outlines the interplay between thermal stress and microbiome dynamics and discusses integrative mitigation strategies, probiotics, phytogenics, cooling systems, and genetic adaptation to enhance poultry resilience.

Habitat models for assessing river ecosystems and their application to the development of river restoration strategies

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2017
In this paper, we describe a model system comprised of hydrodynamic, sediment transport, heat transfer and habitat models. We used this model system to assess the ecosystem situation and investigate the impacts of two ecological restoration strategies in

Gut Health in Ostriches (Struthio camelus): Insights Into Intestinal Structure, Functions, Microbiome, and Improvement Strategies

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Our paper systematically reviews the intestinal structure, function, and microbiota of ostriches, along with strategies for improving their gut health. We analyze how these factors collectively influence intestinal homeostasis and ostrich welfare, emphasizing probiotics as a promising intervention to enhance gut health, boost population well‐being, and

Impacts of stream riparian buffer land use on water temperature and food availability for fish

Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2018
Restoration of degraded freshwater ecosystems has gained considerable attention in the USA over the past decades. However, most projects focus almost entirely on the restoration of physical habitat or specific water quality parameters, while ignoring ...

Early Modern Amateur Botany and Historical Biodiversity: An Interdisciplinary Approach to the Herbarium Ruperti (1698–1705)

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
The Herbarium Ruperti, compiled by the Lutheran theologian Georg Andreas Ruperti and containing ca. 1300 plants, represents one of the earliest comprehensive collections documenting the flora of northern Germany before the emergence of systematic botanical surveys.
