Oogenesis and germinal bed morphology of the brown anole (A. sagrei)
Abstract Background The brown anole is a model species of the genus Anolis, a squamate (encompassing lizards and snakes) group widely studied in evolutionary, behavioral, and developmental biology. Full genome annotation, the establishment of gene editing techniques, and comprehensive description of reproductive tract morphology and embryogenesis in ...

Planned harvesting and processing of marine macroalgae could meet future global food needs and mitigate fuel‐originated carbon dioxide responsible for climate change. Microalgal foods are nutritious and safe. The utilization of macroalgae would avoid environmental problems arising from the release of overgrowing macroalgae caused by heatwaves, which ...

Pawsitive Connections: Understanding How Informal Pet Interactions Relate to Daily Youth Functioning
ABSTRACT Introduction Human‐animal interaction (HAI) has been linked to well‐being across functional domains and throughout the lifespan. Limited research has explored specific types of informal HAIs with pets or the impact of HAI in daily life. Methods Over 2 weeks in 2021, caregivers of youth (N = 42; ages 6–17, M = 12.21; 50% male) reported daily on

Chemical Composition of the Eggs of the Freshwater Turtle Phrynops hilarii (Chelidae: Testudines) [PDF]
At oviposition, amniote eggs contain all the nutrients required for complete neonate tissue development. For reptiles and birds, the egg yolk is the main embryonic energy source and is composed predominantly of proteins and lipids, while also providing ...
