Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

Coming to America: Multiple Origins of New World Geckos [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Geckos in the Western Hemisphere provide an excellent model to study faunal assembly at a continental scale. We generated a time-calibrated phylogeny, including exemplars of all New World gecko genera, to produce a biogeographic scenario for the New ...

QuickProt: A Fast and Accurate Homology‐Based Protein Annotation Tool for Non‐Model Organisms to Advance Comparative Genomics

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The rapid growth of genome sequencing has outpaced the development of efficient annotation tools, especially for species lacking transcriptome data. To address this challenge, we present QuickProt, a fast, accurate and user‐friendly homology‐based protein annotation tool.

Complete mitochondrial genome of Scincella modesta (Squamata: Scincidae) and phylogenetic analysis

open access: yesMitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020
We sequenced and annotated the complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of Scincella modesta (Squamata: Scincidae). This mitogenome was 17,466 bp long and encoded 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, and 2 non ...

Indigenous peoples and local community reports of climate change impacts on biodiversity

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Climate change impacts on biodiversity have been primarily studied through ecological research methods, largely ignoring other knowledge systems. Indigenous and local knowledge systems include rich observations of changes in biodiversity that can inform climate change adaptation planning and environmental stewardship.
