Phylogenomic analysis of ultraconserved elements clarifies relationships and morphological evolution in Cryptoplacoidea (Mollusca: Polyplacophora)

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Targeted enrichment of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) is a powerful tool for resolving phylogeny in groups with limited morphological or molecular data. Here, we use UCEs to reconstruct the first comprehensive phylogeny of the chiton superfamily Cryptoplacoidea, including museum material up to 133 years old.

Areas of high risk for mammalian biodiversity and nature's contributions to people under global warming

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Climate change has reached unprecedented levels, causing frequent extreme events like droughts and fires. These changes are driving a sharp rise in extinction risk for mammals and threatening key Nature's Contributions to People (NCP) such as clean water, air quality, and climate regulation.

Marine rewilding principles as a guiding framework for large‐scale ecosystem restoration

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
As marine ecosystems face accelerating degradation from human pressures, interest is growing in approaches that move beyond protection toward active recovery of ecological processes. This article introduces marine rewilding as a forward‐looking framework and synthesizes ecological and social science to develop eight transdisciplinary principles that ...

Environmental DNA succeeds in detecting a low‐density population of endangered harlequin frogs

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
This work evaluates the use of environmental DNA (eDNA) to detect the Critically Endangered Jambato Harlequin Frog (Atelopus ignescens)—an iconic species once thought extinct and now known only from a single locality in the Ecuadorian Andes. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of eDNA in detecting the Jambato in a low‐density amphibian population,

Boldness Predicts Nest‐Site Choice of a Freshwater Turtle in an Anthropogenically Disturbed Landscape

Ethology, EarlyView.
One measure of antipredator behavioral boldness predicted turtle nest distance to the nearest human‐made structure. Turtles experienced two behavioral assays to quantify boldness (left panel). Turtles that displayed more bold behaviors during simulated predation nested closer to human‐made structures (top right) than their shyer counterparts (bottom ...

Imidacloprid Alters Activity and Responses to a Visual Predator Stimulus in Aussie Bronze Jumping Spiders (Helpis minitabunda, Araneae, Salticidae)

Ethology, EarlyView.
A field‐recommended concentration of a commercial imidacloprid formulation reduced open arena activity and slowed climbing in the jumping spider Helpis minitabunda. Exposed spiders still detected a looming predator stimulus, but their responses were reduced.

Limbal cystotomy by fine needle aspiration of a translucent iris cyst in a horse

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary A 4‐year‐old Cremello crossbred mare was referred to the Equine Veterinary Teaching Hospital of Utrecht University for a translucent iris cyst from the dorsal pupillary margin corpora nigra in the right eye. Although noninvasive diode laser treatment is the preferred method of pigmented cyst ablation, two attempts did not result in disruption ...

Assessing the Reliability and Validity of the Catalight Family Wellbeing Scale in a Turkish Sample

Family Relations, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Family well‐being is increasingly recognized as an important outcome in research and practice involving families of individuals with developmental disabilities, highlighting the need for valid assessment instruments. However, the Catalight Family Wellbeing Scale (CFWS) has only been validated in the United States, and evidence for ...
