Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 749-777, April 2026.
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Evolution of Animal Parasitism in Nematodes of the Suborder Spirurina

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study reconstructs the evolutionary history of parasitism in Spirurina by integrating ancestral state reconstruction (ASR) with a comprehensive phylogenetic framework. Our analyses reveal clear patterns of hostswitching and major transitions in host associations, providing the first broad evolutionary perspective on parasitism within this group ...

Predicting Karenia brevis Induced Respiratory Irritation at Individual Southwest Florida Beaches Using Cell Abundances Plus Wind Direction and Speed

GeoHealth, Volume 10, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Nearly annually, blooms of the dinoflagellate Karenia brevis form along the southwest Florida coast leading to a variety of negative impacts, including respiratory irritation (RI) in humans. To limit these impacts, NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) developed a RI model to provide beach‐goers with a category‐based ...

Bottlenose Dolphins and Antillean Manatees Respond to Small Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aerial Systems

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) are powerful tools for research and monitoring of wildlife. However, the effects of these systems on most marine mammals are largely unknown, preventing the establishment of guidelines that will minimize animal disturbance.

Development of Isothermal Amplification Assays for the Identification of Spodoptera eridania and Spodoptera ornithogalli (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Using Mitochondrial Gene Sequences

Entomological Research, Volume 56, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Although the southern armyworm (SAW), Spodoptera eridania, and the yellow‐striped armyworm (YSAW), Spodoptera ornithogalli, have not yet been introduced to Korea, they are listed as regulated quarantine pests in Korea because of their potential to cause serious economic losses in diverse agricultural crops upon introduction.

Cognition as a Conservation Tool: A Case Study of Florida Manatees and Boat Strikes

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Boat strikes injure and kill large numbers of Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) each year. Management actions taken to mitigate this threat can be potentially enhanced by consideration of manatee cognitive processes. The role of cognition in marine mammal conservation has received little consideration in the literature.

Endoparasite survey in Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis) under rehabilitation in the Peruvian Amazon

International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife
Manatee populations are declining worldwide, and all currently existing species are considered vulnerable by the IUCN. The most common problems during nurturing young Amazonian manatees, Trichechus inunguis, in rescue centres are of gastrointestinal ...

Manatee cognition and behavior: a neurobiological perspective on an unusual constellation of senses and a unique brain

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience
The nervous systems of manatees are strikingly unique across multiple dimensions. Manatees have the largest lissencephalic (smooth) brains in the animal kingdom, and demonstrate unusual somatosensory anatomy and physiology in the peripheral and central ...
