Cannibalism in Buchananiella whitei (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) and its intraguild interactions with seven predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae & Laelapidae)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Extraguild prey reduces cannibalism and intraguild predation in Buchananiella whitei, while first‐instar nymphs dominate most predatory mites, with outcomes affected by body size and behavioral traits. Abstract BACKGROUND Cannibalism and intraguild predation (IGP) are common interactions among predators that can influence the effectiveness of ...

Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Size, not phylogeny, explains the morphology of the endosseous labyrinth in the crown clade Crocodylia

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 558-574, April 2025.
Here, we present the most complete dataset to date on the endosseous labyrinths of extant crocodylians. Using 3D geometric morphometrics, we show that allometry constitutes a major contributor of the shape variation of the crocodylian endosseous labyrinths and that the development of this structure is likely linked to the braincase conformation, in all

Assessing the microstructure of simple rhamphothecae in chickens (Aves: Galliformes: Gallus gallus domesticus)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Simple rhamphotheca are externally homogeneous but internally are composed of several corneous layers with varying hardness. Areas under more mechanical stress such as the rostral portion and the tomia are significantly harder than other areas. Abstract Corneous sheaths on the jaws of beaked tetrapods, or rhamphothecae, are classified as simple or ...

A bristle‐nosed Jurassic ray‐finned fish (Actinopterygii) bears true dermal odontodes on its snout

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Teeth show extreme diversity, including tooth‐like dermal odontodes or “skin teeth” in many extant fishes. We describe the anatomy of enlarged tubercles on the snout of Redfieldius, an extinct early Jurassic fish. We found that the tubercles in Redfieldius are dermal odontodes that evolved independently from those of living species. Abstract Comparison
