Abstract: Ontogenetic dietary shifts are common in fish and often impact trophically transmitted parasite communities. How parasite species composition and relative abundances change among size classes, and at what rate these changes occur, is rarely examined.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2218183120
Abstract: Vertebrate Tas2r taste receptors detect bitter compounds that are potentially poisonous. Previous studies found substantial variation in the number of Tas2r genes across vertebrates, with some frog species carrying the largest number. Peculiar among vertebrates,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fevo.2019.00298
Abstract: Microscopic tooth wear studies on primates have largely focused on interspecific dietary comparisons, while few have addressed intraspecific variations such as those among age groups. Here, we examined to what extent dietary shifts during ontogeny… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.13866
Abstract: Mesosaurs are the first secondarily aquatic amniotes and one of the most enigmatic clades of reptiles from the early Permian. They have long puzzled paleontologists with their unique morphologies: possessing an elongated skull with thin… read more here.
