Observations on the egg-cases of some ovo-viviparous and viviparous elasmobranchs, with a note on the formation of the elasmobranch egg-case [PDF]
, 1951 Egg-cases of a number of oviparous Elasmobranchs have been described from time to time, the oblong egg-capsules of skates and rays being known as `skate barrows,' 'sailors' purses,' 'mermaids' purses,' and 'mermaids' pin-boxes'.

Transgenerational Plasticity of Maternal Hemolymph Trehalose in Aphids
Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology, Volume 118, Issue 1, January 2025.Maternal hemolymph trehalose influences aphid transgenerational plasticity and adaptation to environmental stress. Higher trehalose levels in winged aphids are associated with increased trehalose levels in the offspring, potentially aiding resilience.

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.The increase in fish production in aquaculture reflects the growth of the world population. However, this expansion is accompanied by challenges, such as the intensification of production systems through increased stocking density, which induces stress in fish, weakening their immune system and making them more susceptible to disease outbreaks ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.Turtle body size and limb size scale nearly isometrically along the group's evolution, although major deviations are only seen in highly specialized ecological or morphological groups. The evolution of the shell constrained turtle body proportions, as they show lower rates of variance accumulation in these allometries than other more diverse and ...

The Role of Progesterone in the Reproductive Physiology of Females of Viviparous Squamata
ReceptorsProgesterone (P4) regulates diverse reproductive processes across vertebrates through nuclear receptors; however, its mechanisms in squamate reptiles—particularly in viviparous species—remain poorly understood.
