Decoupled and diverse: A morphological examination of the two‐jaw system in Mormyridae (Osteoglossiformes)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The tongue‐bite apparatus (TBA) is a secondary jaw system found in Osteoglossomorpha and, convergently, Salmonidae. It is thought to have similar prey‐processing functions as the pharyngeal jaws, possibly allowing the oral jaws to evolve separately for more efficient prey capture.

Morphological variation of the conus arteriosus in Chondrichthyes: Implications for ecology and evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cartilaginous fish have diverse morphological traits that are essential for understanding their evolutionary history and ecological adaptations. However, the conus arteriosus and its valves, key components of the heart and blood circulation, have been underexplored in phylogenetic and ecomorphological contexts.

Ocular morphology and morphometry of the great egret (Ardea alba): A comprehensive anatomical description

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is widely distributed, yet knowledge of its ocular morphology remains limited. This study described the morphometry and morphology of the eyeball and its accessory glands in six specimens using radiography, morphometry, light and scanning electron microscopy, and 3D scanning.

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.

Comparative Meta‐Analysis of Antimicrobial Peptides in Aquatic and Terrestrial Livestock Species

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
A global meta‐analysis of 58 studies (926 effect sizes and 29 species across five taxa) revealed that dietary antimicrobial peptides generally improve growth performance, blood metabolites, and immune responses. The greatest benefits were observed in omnivorous livestock, such as pigs and chickens. Dose‐duration effects were evident. An optimal outcome

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
