A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 2, Page 342-369, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

Question the Mark: A Review and Assessment of Bat Marking Practices

Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.
We reviewed a decade of research on bats and conducted a broader systematic review to assess the nature of bat marking practices and the effects and efficacy of marks. Effects of marks on bats, mark details and marking procedures are rarely reported and further research on the effects of marks on bats and more thorough reporting are needed.

Personalized Models of Biological Barriers and Their Diseases: Recent Progress with Organs‐On‐Chips

Advanced Biology, Volume 10, Issue 2, February 2026.
Buck and Bugter et al. explore the architectural diversity and physiological functions of human barrier systems and reveal how organ‐on‐chip platforms, particularly those integrating patient‐derived cells, are advancing barrier disease modeling. They highlight how emerging biological and technological advances can be used to bridge the gap between ...

Abundance and Seasonal Dynamics of Guiana Dolphins (Sotalia guianensis) in Southern Brazilian Estuarine and Adjacent Coastal Waters

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Estimating population parameters is crucial for understanding species dynamics and assessing anthropogenic impacts, thereby supporting conservation efforts. We evaluate key population parameters—group structure, abundance and capture–recapture probabilities—of the Guiana dolphin in the Paranaguá Estuarine Complex and adjacent coastal waters ...

Discovery of sexual dimorphism of the laryngeal sac in the common minke whale Balaenoptera acutorostrata

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 2, Page 397-416, February 2026.
Abstract Mysticetes, or baleen whales, have an air sac on the ventral surface of the larynx known as the “laryngeal sac.” The primary hypothesis regarding this structure's function is that it is involved in sound production. However, several other functions have been proposed, including air recycling, air storage, and even buoyancy control.
