Cold‐blooded commerce: Characterizing and predicting trade in Australian squamates
Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Despite a national ban on native wildlife exports, Australian reptile species continue to appear in international trade. Using boosted regression trees, we found that large body sizes and taxonomic family, rather than color or patterning, best predicted trade presence. We identified 59 species likely to be targeted in the future, providing key insights

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.Abstract A new species of Characidium is described from a small, isolated river in the highland areas of Noel Kempff Mercado National Park, Bolivia. The new taxon can be diagnosed by the presence of a relatively broad and conspicuous dark midlateral stripe extending from the tip of snout to the base of the caudal fin, markedly darker than the vertical ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Understanding Neotropical megadiversity remains challenging due to fundamental taxonomic issues, including identifying and describing cryptic species and their distribution, and the limited knowledge of key factors driving biological diversification. Such challenges are especially prominent in diverse clades with high levels of cryptic species,
