Early and Larval Development of the Marine Species Grey Triggerfish (Balistes capriscus, Gmelin, 1789) and the Use of Different Organisms as First Food Sources

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to provide an initial description of the embryology and larval development of Balistes capriscus species obtained from natural spawning in captivity. The study also aimed to assess the stocking density and the impact of offering four types of live food as the initial feed during the larviculture phase. Observations of

Integrative utilization of genomic resources for improved phylogenetic resolution in Sonerileae (Melastomataceae)

American Journal of Botany, Volume 113, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Premise Advances in new next‐generation sequencing (NGS) methods have revolutionized phylogenetics, yet challenges remain in effectively utilizing data from a wide range of sources. A well‐resolved and broadly sampled phylogeny for Sonerileae, the second‐largest tribe in Melastomataceae, is still lacking, hindering our understanding of its ...

Beyond mammals: the evolution of chewing and other forms of oropharyngeal food processing in vertebrates

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1406-1462, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Oropharyngeal food processing exhibits a remarkable diversity among vertebrates, reflecting the evolution of specialised ‘processing centres’ associated with the mandibular, hyoid, and branchial arches. Although studies have detailed various food‐processing strategies and mechanisms across vertebrates, a coherent and comprehensive terminology ...

Studying of Trachurus trachurus (Linnaeus, 1758) Population Reproductive Dynamics in the Eastern Moroccan Mediterranean

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Horse mackerel (Trachurus trachurus) populations along the eastern Moroccan Mediterranean coast were studied over 12 months using 390 specimens to assess reproductive ecology. The species showed two spawning periods—late winter to early spring and summer—and exhibited fractional spawning, with males being more predominant.
