Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Effect of visual and electrosensory deterrents on captive elasmobranchs

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Commercial gillnet fisheries interact with a wide range of elasmobranch species, many of which are incidentally captured as bycatch. Deterrent technologies have emerged as a potential approach for reducing interactions with threatened elasmobranchs.

Age and growth of the spiny butterfly ray Gymnura altavela (Elasmobranchii, Gymnuridae) in the Southwest Atlantic (in situ) and under human care in a public aquarium (ex situ): Plasticity and population patterns

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study provides the first age and growth assessment of the endangered spiny butterfly ray, Gymnura altavela (Linnaeus, 1758), in the Southwest Atlantic, while also updating the growth parameters (asymptotic disc width—DW∞ and growth coefficient—k) estimated in an ex situ a marine aquarium setting.

Modelling compressive loading in large‐bodied mammals reveals distinct biomechanical strategies in proboscidean humeri

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Graviportal proboscideans differ in limb morphology, adopting slender or more robust long bone morphotypes. Finite element analyses (FEA) on extant and extinct taxa reveal functional differences between morphotypes, with robust humeri exhibiting lower peak stress under neutral and off‐axis loading.

Cultivating diversity: is the functional diversity of nursery stocks sufficient for the establishment of functionally diverse restored woodlands?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Ecological restoration projects often rely on nurseries (NU) to provide plants to restore ecological communities. However, the range of species available in NU may not represent the range of ecological function found in species in reference (natural) communities.

Revisiting a Neglected Zoonosis: Molecular Identification of Angiostrongylus cantonensis in Southern Indian Rodents

Zoonoses and Public Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a zoonotic metastrongyloid nematode that causes eosinophilic meningitis and ocular angiostrongyliasis in humans and other accidental hosts. In India, reported human cases are sporadic, with several associated with monitor lizard consumption, while systematic studies remain limited.
