The biogeographic history of neosuchian crocodiles and the impact of saltwater tolerance variability

Royal Society Open Science, 2023
Extant neosuchian crocodiles are represented by only 24 taxa that are confined to the tropics and subtropics. However, at other intervals during their 200 Myr evolutionary history the clade reached considerably higher levels of species-richness, matched by more widespread distributions.

A new marker based on the avian spindlin gene that is able to sex most birds, including species problematic to sex with CHD markers [PDF]

, 2016
We have developed a new marker (Z43B) that can be successfully used to identify the sex of most birds (69%), including species difficult or impossible to sex with other markers. We utilized the zebra finch Taeniopygia guttata EST microsatellite sequence (

Active Biopaste for Coral Reef Restoration

Advanced Materials, Volume 37, Issue 38, September 25, 2025.
Preserving coral reefs is essential. A conductive, hardening paste for coral attachment and mineral accretion technology is developed, using a bio‐based acrylate soybean oil matrix and graphene nanoplatelets. Corals are attached with and onto the conductive paste, electricity is applied, water electrolysis is induced, and calcium is deposited at the ...

Host species and age‐specific variation on Hepatozoon prevalence and its effect on body condition in two Neotropical crocodiles

Wildlife Biology, Volume 2025, Issue 5, September 2025.
Many populations of species belonging to the order Crocodilia are threatened due to illegal trafficking, indiscriminate hunting, and habitat loss and degradation affecting crocodilian health and parasitic load. Although several studies have revealed that crocodiles, caimans, and alligators are frequently infected by Hepatozoon spp., the results from ...

Feral Ungulate Impacts on Carbon Cycling in a Coastal Floodplain Wetland in Tropical Northern Australia

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 8, August 2025.
Abstract Coastal wetland ecosystems play critical roles in mitigating climate change by sequestering substantial amounts of carbon in vegetation and sediments. The Laynhapuy Indigenous Protected Area, northern Australia, includes culturally significant floodplains that support diverse coastal wetlands.

Risk posed by the HPAI virus H5N1, Eurasian lineage goose/Guangdong clade 2.3.4.4b. genotype B3.13, currently circulating in the US

EFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1), clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype B3.13 in U.S. dairy cattle marks a significant shift in the virus' host range and epidemiological profile. Infected cattle typically exhibit mild clinical signs, such as reduced milk production, mastitis and fever, with morbidity generally below 20% and
