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 ...

The Flooding Gradient Affects Seed Dispersal by Fruit‐Eating Fishes in Amazonian Whitewater Floodplain Forests

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
This research approaches the interaction between frugivorous fish and the flooded forests in the central Amazon. We evaluated the fruit consumption by fish and the seed dispersal potential along the flood gradient. We tested the hypothesis that the role of fish as seed dispersers varies between low várzea (LV) and high várzea (HV) forests.

Longitudinal Effects of Improved Pond Aquaculture Techniques on Household Well‐Being: A Case Study From Rural Bangladesh

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Improved pond management techniques (IPMTs) in rural Bangladesh increase household fish consumption and reduce poverty, yet their sustained adoption remains limited. Analysis of panel data demonstrates that practices such as sunlight exposure, liming, supplementary feeding, and fertilization yield significant improvements in household well‐being ...

Exploring ecohydrology through the lens of local fishers in the Bolivian Amazon

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The natural flow regimes of Andean‐Amazon tributaries play a vital role in sustaining their rich biodiversity and productive local fisheries, but ongoing and proposed alteration of river flow regimes by large dams threatens to negatively impact river ecosystems. Despite its importance, our understanding of how hydrologic variability influences

Practical Diets Formulated With Different Plant‐Based Energy Ingredients Modulate Nutrient Utilization and Gut Morphology in Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum)

Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Despite the increasing use of plant‐based energy ingredients in aquaculture, few studies have evaluated the digestibility of practical diets formulated with these ingredients in an integrated manner with the metabolic responses, intestinal health, and productive performance of fish. This limits the understanding of their nutritional effects. This study
