Evaluating the role of seagrass in Cenozoic CO2 variations [PDF]

, 2016
Marine seagrass angiosperms play an important role in carbon sequestration, removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and binding it as organic matter. Carbon is stored in the plants themselves, but also in the sediments both in inorganic and organic

Innervation patterns of sea otter (Enhydra lutris) mystacial follicle-sinus complexes [PDF]

, 2014
Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) are the most recent group of mammals to return to the sea, and may exemplify divergent somatosensory tactile systems among mammals.

Almost Seven Decades of Coastal Bird Community Recovery Across Three European Seas

Global Change Biology, Volume 31, Issue 11, November 2025.
Our study examined long‐term trends in coastal bird communities across three European seas from 1957 to 2024. We found that bird abundance and diversity have increased over time, although these improvements vary among regions and sites. Protected areas—particularly strictly protected ones—play an important role in supporting these recoveries, but ...

Sirenian Sounds

Abstract Extant sirenians are the only aquatic herbivorous mammals and comprise four recognized species: the dugong, the Amazonian manatee, the West Indian manatee, and the African manatee. They inhabit coastal shallow waters in tropical and subtropical areas. All sirenian species produce sounds, many of which are audible to humans.

Historical Collections of Tropical Marine Mammals Are an Excellent Resource for Ancient DNA

Molecular Ecology Resources, Volume 25, Issue 7, October 2025.
ABSTRACT The ability to predict ancient DNA sequencing success in natural history collections is critical to reducing the amount of destructive sampling of a finite resource. So far, studies investigating such success have predominantly focused on taxa with ranges restricted to temperate or cold environments at northern latitudes, which likely aids DNA

Natural Mutation in Naked Mole‐Rat UCP1 Refutes Importance of the Histidine Pair Motif for Proton Conductance and Thermogenesis

Acta Physiologica, Volume 241, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) is the crucial protein for non‐shivering thermogenesis in placental mammals, but the molecular mechanism of thermogenic proton transport is still unknown. Its histidine pair motif (H145 and H147) has been claimed as a critical element for proton translocation, leading to the paradigmatic “cofactor model” of the ...

Unveiling the Genetic Structure of New Caledonian Dugongs Using a Multiscale Genetic Approach: Conservation Challenges for an Isolated Population

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
The small New Caledonian dugong population is geographically isolated, with extremely low mitochondrial DNA. Using mitochondrial DNA, microsatellites, and SNPs from 66 samples collected over 2 decades, we identified fine‐scale genetic structure and confirmed strong differentiation from Australian populations.

Progesterone monitoring and gestation length in Amazonian manatees (Trichechus inunguis)

Theriogenology Wild
Knowledge of pregnancy length and the physiological parameters during pregnancy is an important tool for pregnancy diagnosis in free-ranging and captive individuals and for the correct husbandry of captive pregnant females. Therefore, this study aimed to

μCeta: A Set of Cetacean‐Specific Primers for Environmental DNA Metabarcoding With Minimal Amplification of Non‐Target Vertebrates

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.
Cetacean eDNA metabarcoding results from the aquarium pool samples using new cetacean‐specific primers. μCeta shows superior performance to detect and differentiate different cetacean species. ABSTRACT Biodiversity monitoring is crucial for understanding ecosystem dynamics and species distributions, particularly in the context of anthropogenic impacts ...
