The Overlooked Threat of Global Warming on Elasmobranch Fertility
Fish and Fisheries, Volume 27, Issue 1, Page 41-55, January 2026.ABSTRACT Climate change is increasingly recognised as a critical threat to global biodiversity, yet its impacts on reproductive processes remain poorly understood in many marine taxa. Elasmobranchs (sharks, skates and rays) represent a particularly vulnerable group due to their peculiar life histories, low fecundity, and diverse reproductive modes.

Ultrastructural evidence for completion of the entire miracidial maturation in intrauterine eggs of the digenean Brandesia turgida (Brandes, 1888) (Plagiorchiida: Pleurogenidae) [PDF]
, 2014 Results of this TEM study provide ultrastructural evidence that miracidial morphogenesis is fully completed within the intrauterine eggs situated in the most posterior uterine regions of the pleurogenid trematode Brandesia turgida (Brandes, 1888).

ORCHIDEE‐MAN: Incorporating Mangrove Processes in the Global Vegetation Model of ORCHIDEE
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 17, Issue 12, December 2025.Abstract The mangrove ecosystem is characterized by high carbon sequestration rates and plays a crucial role for the exchange of carbon between land and ocean. Understanding the carbon dynamics of mangroves under climate change and human disturbances is therefore essential for quantifying their contributions to global carbon cycle.

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 12, December 2025.ABSTRACT Aim We investigated the biogeographic consequences of chromosomal speciation, or structural changes in chromosome arrangement that lead to reproductive isolation, an intriguing speciation mechanism with implications for the phylogenetic and geographic distribution of species and chromosomal diversity. Location. North and Central America. Taxa.

Post-natal parental care in a Cretaceous diapsid from northeastern China [PDF]
, 2015 Post-natal parental care seems to have evolved numerous times in vertebrates. Among extant amniotes, it is present in crocodilians, birds, and mammals. However, evidence of this behavior is extremely rare in the fossil record and is only reported for two

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 6, Page 1157-1173, December 2025.This study examines the embryonic development of Anguis colchica across three stages, highlighting key morphological and skeletal features. Ossification begins before stage 6, with cranial bones forming early, while frontal and parietal bones remain unfused at stage 7.

Ecography, Volume 2025, Issue 11, November 2025.Amphibians exhibit a large diversity in reproductive and developmental strategies, which in turn are linked to their body size, life history and habitat. Here, we explore why terrestrial egg laying frogs are on average smaller than aquatic egg laying ones and whether this pattern also exists in salamanders.
