Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

Arc polarity reversal in North Luzon preserved in the Oligocene–Miocene clastic units in southwestern Mountain Province, Philippines: insights from trace element geochemistry, microfossil ages, and zircon U–Pb dating

Geoscience Letters
Provenance studies using sedimentary geochemistry, particularly whole-rock, trace element, and rare earth element (REE) analyses, have proven useful in complex terranes such as the Philippines.

A revised classification system of the marronoid clade of spiders (Araneae), based on dense sampling phylogenomics and comparative morphology

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract The marronoid clade is a globally distributed, ecologically diverse group of spiders. It is an important faunal component in both natural and synanthropic environments, and even found in aquatic and extreme habitats such as desert salt flats. The systematics of the marronoid clade has been notoriously unstable due to the widespread character ...

Preference‐performance relationship in the thistle tortoise beetle: Implications for its realised host range

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
There was a positive relationship between adult preference and larval performance. However, the strength of the relationship ranged from weak to strong depending on the measure of adult preference. The adult beetle showed substantial flexibility in host plant selection and equal performance across most thistle hosts.

Spawning behaviour between endemic delta smelt (Hypomesus transpacificus) and non‐native Wakasagi (H. nipponensis) in the San Francisco estuary

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the San Francisco Estuary, non‐native Wakasagi Hypomesus nipponensis hybridize with endemic and endangered Delta Smelt H. transpacificus, and all wild‐caught hybrids have a maternal Wakasagi parent. However, the mechanisms that facilitate or impede hybridization and explain sex‐biased hybrid asymmetry between these two species remain ...

Embryonic and larval development of the endangered Chiapas killifish Tlaloc hildebrandi (Cyprinodontiformes: Profundulidae)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The early ontogeny of endemic freshwater fishes provides essential baseline biological information for conservation and management, particularly in species with restricted distributions and high vulnerability to habitat degradation, environmental change and population decline. This study presents the first detailed description of embryonic and
