Does any fish scale of a fish have the same number of marks? A case study for two Mugilidae species
Abstract This study evaluates the difference in growth marks in scales from nine body areas of two Mugilidae species from the Gulf of Mexico: Mugil curema and Mugil cephalus. It addresses whether the different body areas show more (or fewer) marks, and which area(s) would be more useful in fish biology studies relying on mark analysis.

Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

Abstract For the freshwater red algal order Batrachospermales, the number of plastid genomes available is relatively small compared to the number of genera. Fully assembled plastid genomes can provide insights into plastid evolution and crucial data for phylogenetic reconstruction.

Complete chloroplast genome of Triticum aestivum cultivar 'Keumkang' from Korea (Poaceae) and comparative chloroplast genomes of the members of the Triticum genus. [PDF]
Abstract BACKGROUND Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a major global food crop, and understanding its maternal lineage and genetic diversity is essential for breeding, authentication, and evolutionary studies. Chloroplast genomes provide valuable markers for phylogenetic inference and cultivar discrimination; however, conventional plant DNA ...

Irisin is an extracellular peptide stimulated by exercise and could act as both a biomarker and mediate the positive impact of exercise. This scoping review synthesizes human evidence on irisin variations in non‐communicable diseases, showing an increase of irisin in saliva and gingival tissues in periodontitis, potentially reflecting reparative or ...

Time‐Varying Dispersion Integer‐Valued GARCH Models
ABSTRACT We introduce a general class of INteger‐valued Generalized AutoRegressive Conditionally Heteroscedastic (INGARCH) processes by allowing simultaneously time‐varying mean and dispersion parameters. We call such models time‐varying dispersion INGARCH (tv‐DINGARCH) models.
