A survey of phytomyxid parasites in seagrasses of the genus Halophila reveals previously unrecognised diversity and a widespread presence of Marinomyxa within Halophila meadows, supporting a tight co‐evolutionary relationship between the two genera. ABSTRACT Marinomyxa is a genus of obligate intracellular parasitic protists known to infect tropical ...

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals
Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.

Cognition as a Conservation Tool: A Case Study of Florida Manatees and Boat Strikes
ABSTRACT Boat strikes injure and kill large numbers of Florida manatees (Trichechus manatus latirostris) each year. Management actions taken to mitigate this threat can be potentially enhanced by consideration of manatee cognitive processes. The role of cognition in marine mammal conservation has received little consideration in the literature.

Abstract Total Suspended Solids (TSS) significantly degrade water quality by reducing light penetration and oxygen availability, while facilitating the transport of toxic contaminants. Managing TSS in watersheds requires an understanding of both hydrological connectivity and pollutant dynamics; however, these efforts are significantly constrained by ...
