Pulmonary development in Squamata: Insights from embryonic studies using micro‐CT
Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 6, Page 602-615, June 2026.Abstract Background Pulmonary development in tetrapods is a complex process, especially within squamates, where single‐chambered, transitional, and multi‐chambered lungs can be found in adult animals. While the embryological development of the respiratory system of lizards and snakes was studied in a number of species between the 1830s and 1940s, the ...

Planes on a Snake? On the Identities of Crab Larvae Rafting on Sea Snakes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We sequenced COI and 16S rRNA genes from 106 crab megalopae found rafting on the pelagic sea snake Hydrophis platurus to test whether they were the obligate rafting species Planes minutus. Instead, all larvae belonged to three inter‐ to supratidal grapsid crabs—Pachygrapsus socius, Goniopsis pulchra, and Grapsus grapsus—revealing no evidence of Planes.

Retention of the Full Visual Opsin Repertoire in Some Australian Cryptozoic Lizards
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.This study investigates the link between visual evolution and fossorial habits in the endemic Australian skink genus Lerista. We provide evidence for positive site‐specific selection in all 4 cone opsins, as well as relaxed selection specific to LWS. We also provide evidence of selection linked to limb reduction, an indicator of fossorial adaptation ...

Adaptive controller design for underwater snake robot with unmatched uncertainties
, 2016 Because of hydrodynamic model error of the present dynamic model, there is a challenge in controller design for the underwater snake-like robot. To tackle this challenge, this paper proposes an adaptive control schemes based on dynamic model for a planar,

My (post‐)post‐socialism: A personal photo essay
Anthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.Abstract The paper is a multi‐modal, autoethnographic exploration of the visual remnants of lived post‐communism in a typical block of flats neighborhood of a Romanian city. By using film and digital photography, alongside narrative reflection, the author summons memories and blends observed and lived reality with creative non‐fiction to build an ...
