Possible identification of CENP-C in fish and the presence of the CENP-C motif in M18BP1 of vertebrates. [version 2; referees: 2 approved]

open access: yesF1000Research, 2016
The centromeric protein CENP-C is a base component of the kinetochore. This protein, along with CENP-A has been shown to adaptively evolve in a number of animal and plant species.

The dental plate on bichir pectoral fins: A unique dermal skeletal element bearing individual odontodes with tooth‐like replacement

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Pectoral fins of bichirs encompass the so‐called dental plates – unique dermal skeletal elements with individual odontodes identical to the oral teeth. Abstract The dermal skeleton appeared early in vertebrate evolution in the form of mineralized skin denticles composed of tooth‐like units—odontodes.

The Geographical Differences in the Morphology of Diptychus maculatus: Environmental Driving Factors and Adaptive Evolution

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
This study morphologically analyzed 385 Diptychus maculatus from 5 Tarim River Basin populations. Using traditional and geometric morphometrics, it revealed environmental (high‐altitude cold, rapids, reservoir flows) and human‐driven morphological differentiation.

Biodiversity and Conservation Challenges in the Alédjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo: Insights From Ethnozoological Surveys

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The present study analyzes wildlife species use indices and a vulnerability in the Aledjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo. The Importance Value‐in‐use Index (IVIUsp) indicates that the most valued species are the patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas), the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca), and the green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis).

Fatty Acids and Stomach Contents Reveal Dietary Overlaps of Two Prospering Squid Species in the North Sea

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
Distribution ranges of cephalopods are expanding worldwide and their abundances are increasing due to ocean warming. Recently, the broadtail shortfin squid Illex coindetii (Ommastrephidae) expanded into the North Sea where it established a successful spawning stock beside the resident veined squid Loligo forbesii (Loliginidae). Stomach content analysis
