On the Origin of the Tingidae (Insecta, Heteroptera)

Zoologica Scripta, Volume 55, Issue 6, Page 876-892, November 2026.
ABSTRACT The hypothesis of a Gondwanian origin of the family Tingidae (Insecta, Heteroptera) has been promoted and seems to be generally accepted by specialists. However, the area of emergence and diversification of the clade, South American or Australian, is still debated and cannot be solved without integrating Vianaidinae, a subfamily considered as ...

A Large‐Scale Cross‐Population Evaluation of Genetic Risk Variants for Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Dobermanns

Animal Genetics, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Previous studies suggest that genetic risk factors for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) in Dobermann dogs may differ between populations, complicating the use of genetic tests across subpopulations. Variants in pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) and titin (TTN) have been associated with DCM in North American Dobermanns, whereas two loci on ...

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2873-2896, October 2026.
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Genomic Characterization of Aeromonas dhakensis Isolated From a Fatal Dolphin Case. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Comparative genomic analysis of an Aeromonas dhakensis isolate recovered from a fatal dolphin case revealed close relatedness to previously described strains and a broadly comparable virulence‐associated gene profile, including rtxA, with no isolate‐specific virulence‐associated annotations identified.

Comparative micro‐ornamentation patterns of reptile skin: Phylogeny‐ecology debate and species‐specific variations

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2838-2853, October 2026.
Phylogenetic limitations seem more decisive than life habit in the diversity of reptile skin micro‐ornamentation. The ancestral form possibly had polygonal cells with regular borders, smooth surface and had no ridges. Cell morphology change gradually on a single scale, especially widths at scale base are greater than those at middle.

Challenges and Future Directives of Synthetic Biology in Engineering Plant–Microbe Partnerships for Sustainable Agriculture

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, Volume 123, Issue 10, Page 2491-2519, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Synthetic biology has recently proven to be a valuable tool for enhancing agriculture even in the face of environmental and biological stresses. Understanding the challenges that militate synthetic biology will assist in ensuring safe, stable, and scalable crop production.

Genome‐Wide Identification and Structural Characterization of Secondary Metabolite Biosynthetic Gene Clusters in African Baobab (Adansonia digitata)

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 23, Issue 10, October 2026.
Genome‐wide computational analysis of the African baobab (Adansonia digitata) identifies 50 candidate biosynthetic gene clusters spanning terpene, polyketide, cyclopeptide, and lignan pathways, including nine BURP‐domain clusters linked to putative chemical defense.

Breeding Behaviors and Kinship in the Endangered Hawaiian Stilt (Ae‘o; Himantopus mexicanus knudseni)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
A comparison of behavioral observations with genetic analyses of the Hawaiian Stilt on Molokaʻi revealed some evidence of conspecific parasitism, potential extra‐pair paternity, and inbreeding, although most observed family groups clustered together genetically, suggesting these alternative tactics may be relatively rare.
