Perceptions of Governance (Il)Legitimacy Mediate Climate Change Adaptation in the Lake Victoria Basin, Uganda

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Governance is a well‐known dimension of adaptive capacity across various frameworks, however specific links between perceptions of governance (il)legitimacy and adaptive capacity remain relatively unexplored. In this study, we investigate connections between climate change adaptation and perceptions of governance (il)legitimacy using focus ...

lungfish

, 2019
Meeting the conservation challenges of long‐lived animal species necessitate long‐term assessments of trophic ecology. The use of dietary proxies, such as ratios of naturally occurring stable isotopes in animal tissues demonstrating progressive growth ...

Translating Riedl: The Circulation and Operationalisation of Evolutionary Ideas

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Rupert Riedl's Order in Living Organisms proposed a systems theory of evolution decades before the concepts it pioneered—homology, burden, the imitative epigenotype—reached the agenda of evolutionary biology. This paper reconstructs the lineages that operationalized his insights across several fields and explores the internal and external reasons for ...

An exceptionally preserved transitional lungfish from the lower permian of Nebraska, USA, and the origin of modern lungfishes. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Complete, exceptionally-preserved skulls of the Permian lungfish Persephonichthys chthonica gen. et sp. nov. are described. Persephonichthys chthonica is unique among post-Devonian lungfishes in preserving portions of the neurocranium, permitting ...

Reconstructing the major skull myology of the giant stem‐amphibian Mastodonsaurus: A case study for early tetrapods

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We reconstruct the major cranial musculature of the giant stem amphibian Mastodonsaurus giganteus, revealing a differentiated jaw‐adductor system, a probable sesamoid pulley, and previously unrecognised muscles. This EPB‐based case study establishes an anatomical framework for modelling feeding in early tetrapods and supports interpretations of ...

Phylogenetic Reconstruction of Lung Evolution in Extant Squamata

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The Squamata group exhibits remarkable diversity in lung structure. However, a comprehensive understanding of how this variation evolved within the clade is still lacking. To reconstruct the evolutionary history of lungs of living squamates, we conducted comparative phylogenetic analyses using categorized lung traits, such as lung type, respiratory ...

Exploring the significance of Kenya's indigenous and emerging blue foods for sustainable aquaculture development. A review

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Kenya's aquaculture sector is at a pivotal stage, transitioning from a historical reliance on Nile tilapia and African catfish toward a more diversified production portfolio that integrates indigenous and emerging freshwater and marine species. This shift is increasingly recognized as essential to enhance climate resilience, food security, and

Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, Volume 9, Issue 5, September 2026.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

The evolution of cognitive abilities in marine animals: a hypothesis based on insights about cognition gene polymorphisms in Coelocanths and lungfish

Academia Molecular Biology and Genomics
Both coelacanths and lungfish have fossil evidence dating back 400 million years, placing them at a critical evolutionary juncture when marine animals transitioned to terrestrial environments. An intriguing question lies in the extent to which
