DOI: 10.1002/ajhb.23236
Abstract: This study examined the relationship between maternal pelvic and body size in the transition from the Middle‐Final Jomon period (c. 5000–3000 BC) to the Middle Yayoi period (c. 400~200 BC to around AD 1) in… read more here.

Trait‐Based Prediction of Conservation Status of North American Small‐Bodied Minnows (Leuciscidae) and Darters (Percidae)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2025 at "Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems"
DOI: 10.1002/aqc.70113
Abstract: With the rapid decline of aquatic biodiversity, conservation tools such as captive breeding for reintroduction are becoming more common. A major challenge, however, lies in determining which species should be prioritized for such efforts. One… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3666
Abstract: Seines are a common sampling gear for monitoring small‐bodied fishes in wadeable, sand‐bed rivers. However, sampling effort within a site can vary among time and space, even within the same monitoring program. Determining and standardizing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/rra.4347
Abstract: Attention has been placed on a variety of barriers that hinder fish passage in modern times. The most prevalent fish barriers were culverts which have negatively impacted waterway connectivity and fish habitats. For small‐bodied mass… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2017.05.063
Abstract: The influence of salinity on toxicity outcomes has been demonstrated for various contaminants, but has received limited attention for endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs). Short-term laboratory tests using small-bodied fish are an important tool for evaluating… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/zoolinnean/zlaa085
Abstract: The timing of non-avian dinosaur decline is one of the most debated subjects in dinosaur palaeontology. Dinosaur faunas from the last few million years of the Mesozoic appear far less diverse than those from earlier… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/joa.14273
Abstract: Plesiosauria is a clade of marine reptiles that thrived from the Late Triassic to the end of the Cretaceous. Among plesiosaurs, the elasmosaurids are particularly notable for their diverse body sizes. Small‐sized specimens of Kawanectes… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpubh.2023.1057146
Abstract: Life-history traits (traits directly related to survival and reproduction) co-evolve and materialize through physiology and behavior. Accordingly, lifespan can be hypothesized as a potentially informative marker of life-history speed that subsumes the impact of diverse… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.6008
Abstract: During the Early Cretaceous, dinosaur communities of the Australian-Antarctic rift system (Eumeralla and Wonthaggi formations) cropping out in Victoria were apparently dominated by a diverse small-bodied ‘basal ornithopod’ fauna. Further north, in Queensland (Winton and… read more here.
