The African Mole‐Rat Genus Cryptomys and Its Species: Distinct in Their Genes and Habitats
Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACTThe African mole‐rat genus Cryptomys comprises five morphologically cryptic lineages distributed across South Africa and in Zimbabwe, historically treated as subspecies of C. hottentotus (C. h. hottentotus, C. h. mahali, C. h. natalensis, C. h. pretoriae and C. h. nimrodi).

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cryptic marine species complexes with plastic morphology, shallow divergence, and broad distributions are among the hardest taxonomic problems in zoology. The Ostrea stentina complex, reported across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indo‐Pacific, is a striking example. We present the first topotype‐anchored integrative revision of this complex,

Why Anthropologists Should Study Dogs
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT While primates have traditionally been a focus of evolutionary anthropologists, the domestic dog represents a valuable complementary model due to its long shared evolutionary history with humans. The advantages of studying dogs are particularly evident in four key areas: (1) analyzing evolutionary adaptations, (2) understanding humanity's past,

Aphid Resistance in Pulse Crops: Sources, Mechanisms, Genetics and Breeding
Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT Aphids are major pests of pulse crops, causing damage through phloem sap feeding and virus transmission. In this context, resistant varieties are central components of sustainable aphid management. This review synthesizes current knowledge on resistance sources, phenotyping strategies, resistance mechanisms, genetic control and breeding ...

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2026.ABSTRACT Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most important grain legumes and provides a major source of protein, vitamins and minerals worldwide. Despite decades of traditional breeding delivering significant genetic gains in disease resistance and adaptation, seed yield improvement has advanced only incrementally, constrained by the highly ...
