Comparative Genomics and Functional Evidence for Convergent Adaptation to Hypoxia in Mammals
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study reveals convergent selection in mammals adapted to hypoxia. Functional assays demonstrate that amino acid mutations reduce oxidative stress, attenuate hypoxia‐induced injury, and modulate the hypoxia‐inducible transcription factor (HIF)‐driven hypoxic response.

Maternal Investment Observed in Manatees
, 2020 Maternal instincts vary from species to species. How they care for their offspring depends on environmental and physical factors including but not limited to: the size of the offspring, how many offspring, shelter, and the types of predators they have ...

Identification of alimentary components of Antillean manatee diet in the Northeast of Brazil [PDF]
Biotemas, 2008 The manatees are considered to be opportunist herbivors, consuming a great amount of alimentary items. The aim of the present study was to identify the alimentary components of the diet of Antillean manatees in free life in the northeastern region of ...

Corneal transplantation: Restoring sight to the blind
Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.Abstract Corneal blindness is one of the leading causes of vision loss worldwide. Transplantation of the cornea can restore vision and make blind patients see again. Corneal transplant surgery has undergone major evolution in recent decades with the advent of minimally invasive lamellar surgical approaches such as DMEK and DALK.

Mosaic plot of patterns in the sightings of dead manatees.
, 2015 The number of dead manatees ever sighted, D (0, 1–2, and 3+) reveals two patterns. Firstly, the sighting of three manatee carcasses or more (D3+) is strongly associated with the sighting of four live manatees or more (L4+). Secondly, the lower reaches of

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract Mallomonas is among the most diverse genera of Chrysophyceae, yet many of its lineages remain taxonomically unresolved due to limited molecular sampling. Mallomonas series Peronoides, historically limited to four species, has posed persistent taxonomic difficulties, most notably the long‐standing and problematic reliance on a rare ...

Gas exchange and pulmonary stress variations during SCUBA and breath‐hold diving in open seawater
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Healthy, trained divers were studied before, during and after diving in open seawater with different techniques. SCUBA divers (diving to 15 or 40 m with air; cycling at depth) and breath‐hold divers (BHDs; sled‐assisted dives to 15, 25 or 40 m) underwent underwater and surface arterial blood gas (ABG) sampling.

A Review of the Effects of Freshwater Habitat Quality on Aquatic & Semi‐Aquatic Turtles
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.This literature review aims to provide a comprehensive review of the relationship between freshwater turtles and their aquatic environments. We also highlight areas which have been over‐ or under‐studied and offer recommendations for future research. ABSTRACT Freshwater turtles and terrapins require an aquatic habitat as part of their natural ecology ...
