DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21673
Abstract: Recent studies have uncovered mosaic patterns of allometric and isometric growth underlying ontogenetic shifts in the body form of elasmobranch species (shark and rays). It is thought that shifts in trophic and spatial ecology through… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lno.12797
Abstract: Large‐scale anthropogenic river modifications have caused the loss of critical floodplain nursery habitats for riverine fish, leading to population declines. Restoration efforts have been implemented to recover these habitats, but with varying success. Understanding how… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-019-04382-4
Abstract: Body size and age are crucial factors influencing reproductive capacity and success. As females grow, their reproductive investment and success often increase due to improved overall physiological condition and experience gained through successive reproductive events.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-27626-5
Abstract: Migrating animals may benefit from social or experiential learning, yet whether and how these learning processes interact or change over time to produce observed migration patterns remains unexplored. Using 16 years of satellite-tracking data from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.15219
Abstract: Fish trophic niches reflect important ecological interactions and provide insight into the structure of mangrove food webs. Few studies have been conducted in mangrove fish predators to investigate interpopulation trophic niches and ontogenetic shifts. Using… read more here.

Osteoderm microstructure indicates ontogenetic shifts in the growth pattern of some Cretaceous notosuchians (Crocodylomorpha)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Journal of Anatomy"
DOI: 10.1111/joa.70012
Abstract: A characteristic common to almost all crocodylomorphs, whether living or extinct, is the presence of a dermal skeleton. This covering is composed of bones known as osteoderms or dermal plates/scutes, which are interconnected by fibrous… read more here.
