1. The evolution of the eufalconimorph syrinx informed by phylogenetic comparative methods and diceCT imaging of falconiforms, parrots, and passerines.
PMID:日期:2026-06-25In birds, the ability to produce vocalizations learned from conspecifics (vocal production learning, VPL) is well-characterized from an acoustic and neurological perspective, but the evolution of sound source morphology in clades with vocal learners remains poorly known. The syrinx, the vocal organ of birds, shows increased complexity in the three known avian clades with this trait-passerines, parrots, and hummingbirds-but evolutionary patterns preceding, and associated with, inferred acquisitions of VPL have never been studied in a phylogenetic context. Here we redescribe the syrinx of eufalconimorphs-passerines, parrots, and the non-learning falconiforms-and investigate evolutionary shifts in its morphology using phylogenetic comparative methods. Syringeal muscle insertions on, or closely adjacent to, sound sources are estimated to be ancestral to eufalconimorphs, while complex intrinsic syringeal muscles in passerines and parrots are recovered as two independent acquisitions. Passerines have several unique syringeal traits, including enlarged labia, optimized to occur prior to oscine VPL acquisition. We hypothesize that these traits may have facilitated later independent acquisitions of precise motor control of sound sources associated with complex vocalizations. We discuss other traits that may be associated with vocal production differences among clades, including variation in upper vocal tract anatomy and life-history characters.

2. {"_":"Phylogenetic systematics of the genus (Mollusca: Heterobranchia: Sacoglossa: Caliphyllidae) from the Pacific and Indian oceans with descriptions of nine new species.","i":["Cyerce"]}
PMID:日期:2025-05-17The genus Bergh, 1870 has been a model for the study of defensive strategies, including chemical defences, ceratal autotomy, and crypsis or aposematism. Specialization on different algae and diverse genital armatures also make a useful system for investigating speciation by host shift versus sexual selection. Here, we review the genus in the Pacific and Indian oceans using molecular and morphological data. Two mitochondrial genes ( and 16S) and one nuclear gene () were sequenced from 154 specimens, including representatives from the Atlantic Ocean. Bayesian and maximum likelihood analyses were used to generate phylogenetic hypotheses. Species delimitation analyses performed on sequences recovered 17 genetically distinct Pacific and Indian Ocean species of , 10 of which are new to science. Nine new species are named herein ( sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., sp. nov., and sp. nov.). The 10th species, from the Red Sea, is not named due to the absence of internal anatomical data. These findings increase the species richness in by about two-thirds, and demonstrate that even conspicuous taxa harbour considerable cryptic diversity.

3. Divergent patterns of cranial suture fusion in marsupial and placental mammals.
PMID:日期:2024-05-24Cranial sutures, both open and closed, support a myriad of skull functions, including redistributing strain, accommodating brain expansion, supporting cranial bone growth, and protecting the brain. Thus, variation in the degree, timing, and pattern of suture fusion has functional implications. Using a comparative ontogenetic framework across Mammalia, we quantified degree and pattern of suture fusion through ontogeny for 22 mammalian species ( = 165). Suture closure was scored on a discrete scale for 31 cranial sutures and used to calculate closure scores for individual sutures and specimens. Ancestral state estimations found the degree of ancestral marsupial fusion to be more derived, differing from both the ancestral placental and ancestral therian. The average placental pattern followed the Krogman pattern of suture fusion (cranial vault, cranial base, circum-meatal, palatal, facial, and cranio-facial), whereas marsupials showed a distinct pattern. We propose a new pattern of suture fusion for marsupials: vault, cranio-facial, facial, circum-meatal, palate, cranial base. Delayed fusion of the marsupial cranial base is hypothesized here to support prolonged postnatal growth of the marsupial brain. Collectively, our study has identified a clear marsupial-placental dichotomy in the degree, timing, and pattern of suture fusion, with implications for understanding skull function and ontogeny.

4. Evolution of the syrinx of Apodiformes, including the vocal-learning Trochilidae (Aves: Strisores).
PMID:日期:2024-02-17The vocal organ of birds, the syrinx, represents a key innovation in the evolutionary history of vertebrate communication. Three major avian clades: passerines, parrots, and hummingbirds, independently acquired both specialized syringeal structures and vocal-production learning, between which a functional relationship has been proposed but remains poorly understood. In hummingbirds, the syrinx has never been studied comparatively alongside non-learning relatives in the parent clade Strisores. Here we describe the anatomy of the syrinx in three swift species using enhanced-contrast computed tomography, which reveals structures previously unreported in the clade. We also tested for correlations between syringeal and acoustic traits in a sample of hummingbirds and swifts using phylogenetically informed regressions. The swift syrinx presents lateral labia located on the first pair of bronchial half-rings, which are present in hummingbirds and may be ancestral to Strisores. The further enlarged lateral labia of hummingbirds are found to be significantly correlated to the reduction in length of their trachea and m. tracheolateralis. Acquisition of intrinsic muscles and loss of the sternotrachealis muscle co-occur with these shifts. We recover a significant negative correlation between tracheal elongation and maximum vocalization frequency, suggesting that tracheal shortening in hummingbirds facilitated the acquisition of high-frequency vocalizing.

5. {"_":"A cryptic radiation of Caribbean sea slugs revealed by integrative analysis: '' (Sacoglossa: Caliphyllidae) is six distinct species.","i":["Cyerce","antillensis"]}
PMID:日期:2023-10-12Integrative studies have revealed cryptic radiations in several Caribbean lineages of heterobranch sea slugs, raising questions about the evolutionary mechanisms that promote speciation within the tropical Western Atlantic. Bergh, 1871 is a genus comprising 12 named species in the family Caliphyllidae that lack the photosynthetic ability of other sacoglossans but are noted for vibrant colours on the large cerata (dorsal leaf-like appendages) that characterize many species. Two species are widely reported from the Caribbean: (Trinchese, 1881) and Engel, 1927. Here, we present an integrative assessment of diversity in Caribbean . Four methods of molecular species delimitation supported seven species in samples from the Caribbean and adjacent subtropical Western Atlantic. Six delimited species formed a monophyletic lineage in phylogenetic analyses but were > 9% divergent at the barcoding locus and could be differentiated using ecological, reproductive and/or morphological traits. We redescribe , a senior synonym for the poorly known Ortea & Templado, 1988, and describe five new species. Evolutionary shifts in algal host use, penial armature and larval life history might have acted synergistically to promote the rapid divergence of endemic species with restricted distributions in this radiation, substantially increasing global diversity of the genus.

6. Jumping continents and major host lineages: phylogeny and diversity of the enigmatic Cryptotropidae (Platyhelminthes: Digenea).
PMID:日期:2023-06-20Members of several genera in the digenean superfamily Microphalloidea, namely , , , and , are characterized by an unusual dorsal position of the genital atrium. In the absence of phylogenetic data, their systematic position has been unstable. In the most recent taxonomic revision of the Microphalloidea, they were housed in three different families. We studied the morphology and obtained DNA sequences of several microphallolideans with a dorsal genital pore, collected from vertebrates in Southeast Asia and South America. We used sequences of the nuclear 28S gene to infer a superfamily-level phylogeny and sequences of the mitochondrial gene for family-level phylogeny and species-level comparisons. Based on the combination of molecular phylogenetic data and morphological features, we restore the Cryptotropidae and synonymize the Renschetrematidae with the Cryptotropidae. We erect new genera and , provide amended diagnoses of the Cryptotropidae and and provide keys to the identification of genera within the family. We resurrect the genus , previously synonymized with , and remove from . We describe four new species from lizards in Vietnam and birds in the Philippines and Peru. The unique morphological features and unusually broad host associations and geographical distributions of cryptotropids are discussed.

PMID:日期:2022-01-31, and are among genera of diplostomid digeneans known to parasitize mammalian definitive hosts. Despite numerous recent molecular phylogenetic studies of diplostomids, limited DNA sequence data is available from diplostomids parasitic in mammals. Herein, we provide the first 28S rDNA and mtDNA sequences from morphologically identified, adult specimens of and . Newly generated 28S sequences were used to infer the phylogenetic interrelationships of these two genera among other major lineages of diplostomoideans. The phylogeny based on 28S and a review of morphology clearly suggests that should be considered a junior synonym of , while should be considered a junior synonym of .

8. Burmese amber reveals a new stem lineage of whirligig beetle (Coleoptera: Gyrinidae) based on the larval stage.
PMID:日期:2020-01-20Burmese amber is well known for preserving unique extinct lineages of insects. Here, we describe a new fossil beetle in its larval stage from Burmese amber. Bayesian and parsimony phylogenetic analysis of 50 morphological characters support this fossil as being sister to both the tribes Dineutini and Orectochilini, representing an extinct stem lineage in Gyrininae. It is described here as a new genus and species of whirligig beetle, , a taxon that preserves remarkable intermediate features between the whirligig beetle tribe Gyrinini and the crown Orectochilini and Dineutini. This new taxon preserves key features for studying the evolution of characters within the larval stage of the Gyrinidae and highlights the importance of Burmese amber for preserving both stem and crown lineages present during the mid-Cretaceous, before the end-Cretaceous mass extinction event.

9. {"_":"Examining the relationship between sexual dimorphism in skin anatomy and body size in the white-lipped treefrog, (Anura: Hylidae).","i":["Litoria infrafrenata"]}
9. {"_":"探究白唇树蛙（Litoria infrafrenata，无尾目：雨蛙科）皮肤解剖学性别二态性与体型之间的关系。","i":["Litoria infrafrenata"]}PMID:日期:2019-11-06Amphibians transport water, oxygen, carbon dioxide and various ions (e.g. sodium and potassium) across their skin. This cutaneous permeability is thought to affect their ability to respond to environmental change and to play a role in global population declines. Sexual dimorphism of skin anatomy has been accepted in some species, but rejected in others. The species in which such dimorphism has been detected have all been sexually dimorphic in body size, with males that are smaller and have thinner skin. It is unclear whether this difference in skin thickness manifests a functional difference or if it is related to body size alone. Skin thickness (epidermis, spongy dermis, compact dermis and total thickness) was examined in males and females of the white-lipped treefrog (). Although the skin of males is absolutely thinner than that of females, this difference is explained by body size differences between the sexes. Overall, we conclude that skin thickness in male and female correlates with body size dimorphism and suggest that future studies on amphibian skin anatomy include measures of body size, test the ecological significance of sexually dimorphic skin anatomy and better document the prevalence of sexually dimorphic amphibian skin anatomy.

10. {"_":"Molecular and morphological systematics of Gray, 1847 (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Heterobranchia: Aplysiomorpha).","i":["Dolabrifera"]}
PMID:日期:2017-12-29Molecular and morphological data from newly collected specimens and a review of the literature and type material indicate that the widespread tropical sea hare is a species complex of five genetically distinct taxa. The name is retained for a widespread species in the Indo-Pacific tropics. is endemic to the eastern Pacific. , and a new species described herein are restricted to the tropical Atlantic, with partially overlapping ranges in the Caribbean region and St. Helena. The temperate Pacific species is also distinct and endemic to temperate southeastern Australia and New Zealand. These species of constitute highly divergent lineages and most contain unique internal anatomical characteristics, particularly in the male reproductive morphology and shell shape, making them relatively easy to identify upon dissection. However, externally all these species are extremely variable in colour pattern and morphology and are virtually indistinguishable. This is particularly problematic for identification in the Atlantic Ocean where three species co-occur in the Caribbean region.
