Distribution Models Reveal Important Coastal Habitats for Endangered Leatherback Sea Turtles
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Aim With the development and operation of offshore wind farms along the United States East Coast, it is imperative that we understand the distributions of vulnerable species so we can track and predict potential interactions. We focused on leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) as they depend on this region for important stages of ...

Is Telomere Length Optimized in Hatchling Sand Lizards?
Evolution &Development, Volume 27, Issue 4, December 2025.The graphical abstract image depicts the complex interplay of factors driving telomere dynamics (with permission from Dr. Chris Friesen). ABSTRACT Telomeres (repeat‐DNA‐protein structures primarily located at the ends of chromosomes) protect coding DNA against attacks by reactive molecules and the cells’ own DNA repair systems.
