Functional Morphology of the Oral Jaws and Dentition Across Diverse Diets and Ontogeny in Prickleback Fishes (Stichaeidae)

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 5, May 2026.
Prickleback fishes (Stichaeidae) feed upon diverse diets, spanning carnivory (orange), omnivory (blue), and herbivory (green). We used microCT scanning to explore the functional morphology of the oral jaws and dentition across species and ontogeny. Focal species vary by morphotype and have divergent scaling patterns across diets.

Traditional and Geometric Morphometrics and Invariant Shape Descriptors of Catfish Otoliths in the Yucatán Peninsula: Tools for Species Identification and Individual Size Estimation at Maya Archaeological Sites

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S88-S103, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This study investigates the use of otolith shape analysis for species identification and size estimation in Ariopsis felis and Bagre marinus, based on 181 modern otoliths obtained from a scientific collection and recent sampling in the coastal regions of Campeche and Yucatán, as well as 39 archaeological otoliths corresponding to the Early ...

Pteropoda, Cladocera, and Chaetognatha associations as hydrological indicators in the southern Brazilian Shelf Asociaciones de Pteropoda, Cladocera y Chaetognatha como indicadores hidrológicos de la plataforma del extremo sur de Brasil

Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2008
Associations of pteropod, cladoceran, and chaetognath species were analyzed for the southern coast of Brazil in order to present a biological diagnosis of the oceanographic conditions in winter and summer. The density data from the different species were

Brain Morphology and Quantitative Assessment of Sensory Brain Areas in Southern Bluefin Tuna, Thunnus maccoyii (Scombridae, Teleostei)

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 4, April 2026.
The absolute and relative volume of major sensory and integrative brain regions of the southern bluefin tuna Thunnus maccoyii are examined using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A dominant cerebellum projects into the midbrain ventricular space, while the optic tectum represents a smaller proportion of total brain volume than previously estimated ...

The IceShark, an effective method for sampling plankton under sea ice

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 24, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Seasonal sea ice plays a crucial role in shaping coastal ecosystem dynamics throughout the circumpolar region. Of particular interest to oceanographers is the ice‐ocean interface which functions as a multidimensional habitat, supporting both sympagic algae and pelagic phytoplankton in the under‐ice surface waters.

Adapting the growth‐form concept to geniculate coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta)

Journal of Phycology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 512-532, April 2026.
Abstract Geniculate coralline algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) are a diverse group of calcifying macroalgae, loosely united by flexible upright axes formed by alternating calcified (intergenicula) and uncalcified segments (genicula), a trait that has independently arisen several times.
