Dental Complexity and Crown Relief Document Occlusal Wear Along the Tooth Row in West Indian Manatees

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Sirenians are a lineage of herbivorous marine mammals morphologically specialized for exploiting aquatic vegetation in shallow‐water habitats. In manatees (Trichechus), continuous horizontal tooth replacement may represent a solution for mitigating heavy dental wear incurred by a diet of abrasive plant material.

Development and Validation of Girth‐, Volume‐, and Mass‐Based Body Condition Indices for Free‐Swimming Dugongs, via Drone Photogrammetry

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Drone photogrammetry provides a minimally invasive morphometric tool to assess growth and energy reserve in marine mammals. Converting drone‐derived measurements (e.g., body width) into body condition indices (BCIs, residuals from expected body girth, volume, or mass) requires prior knowledge of normative body shape. We developed and validated

Metagenomic Insights Into Red Sea Biodiversity Across the Web of Life

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 8, August 2026.
Deep‐sequencing shotgun metagenomics of Red Sea benthic sediments reveals biodiversity across the web of life, from viruses to animals. Despite the strong dominance of prokaryotic DNA, low‐abundance eukaryotic reads capture broad taxonomic diversity. Open‐ocean communities are primarily structured by depth, whereas coastal eukaryotic communities follow
