The secret in their eyes: A review of the recessus orbitalis, a unique structure of flatfishes

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The recessus orbitalis is an organ responsible for projecting the eyeball above the level of the head and is uniquely present in flatfishes. The organ consists of two interconnected chambers filled with interstitial fluid and is internally coated with smooth muscle fibers that act as a double‐pump system.

How is the third jaw joint in whales different? Diverse modes of articulation between the jaws of whales

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study conducts the first comprehensive morphological investigation of the mandibular symphysis in whales. Using gross anatomical observation and CT cross‐sectional data, we describe diverse joint morphologies across 74 extant and fossil cetacean taxa. Toothed whales exhibit unfused, partially fused, or fully fused symphyses.

Biocentric Work in the Anthropocene: How Actors Regenerate Degenerated Natural Commons

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract As natural commons vital to selves, organizations, and institutions collapse under cumulative anthropogenic pressures, can human agency still reverse some of the damage already done? This article explores how emerging forms of social symbolic work regenerate degenerated natural commons.

The larger the cetacean, the more stationary their sleep? Thermoregulatory constraints on the sleep behaviour of captive cetaceans

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Cetaceans face thermal challenges when sleeping underwater. Our study found that smaller body size correlated with more swim sleep and less stationary sleep, while the opposite was true for larger cetaceans. Additionally, bottlenose dolphins increased swim sleep at lower ambient temperatures, suggesting a sleep strategy influenced by body size and ...
