The elusive scleral cartilages: Comparative anatomy and development in teleosts and avians

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 7, Page 1838-1850, July 2025.
Abstract The sclera of all vertebrate eyes is comprised of connective tissue, with some organisms developing cartilage within this tissue. A review of the cartilages that have been described in the vertebrate sclera and their anatomical relationships is discussed together with their potential homology.

Carnivore resource subsidies to support predator reintroductions and mitigate threats to reintroduced prey

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 5, July 2025.
Supplementary feeding of reintroduced carnivores is a tool that may increase translocation success and ease predation pressure on prey populations at critical times. In this study, we monitored the activity of native prey, and the activity and diet of a reintroduced predator, the western quoll (Dasyurus geoffroii), around carcass feeding stations in an

Genomes of two Extinct‐in‐the‐Wild reptiles from Christmas Island reveal distinct evolutionary histories and conservation insights

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 5, July 2025.
Abstract Genomics can play important roles in biodiversity conservation, especially for Extinct‐in‐the‐Wild species where genetic factors greatly influence risk of total extinction and probability of successful reintroductions. The Christmas Island blue‐tailed skink (Cryptoblepharus egeriae) and Lister's gecko (Lepidodactylus listeri) are two endemic ...

Adaptations of the Vertebrate Retina to Low‐Light Conditions: A Review

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 54, Issue 4, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Vision is a critical sensory modality in vertebrates, enabling diverse adaptations to environmental challenges. This review explores the remarkable adaptations of vertebrate eyes to low‐light environments, such as nocturnal habitats, deep‐sea ecosystems and subterranean niches.

Asymmetrical Use of Appendages in Food Probing by Two Ant Species

Ethology, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Lateralization, or the presence of left–right asymmetry, is a widespread phenomenon in vertebrates and has been shown to confer various adaptive advantages, as lateralized individuals tend to outperform non‐lateralized ones in specific tasks. In contrast, much less is known about lateralization in invertebrates.
