Quantitative Ultrasound Analysis of Gas Embolic Disease in Bycaught Sea Turtles

This paper quantitatively analyzes gas embolic disease in sea turtles using ultrasound, finding organ-specific gas burden differences and temporal evolution between on-board and shore-based groups.

Parallel erosion of a testis-specific Na+/K+ ATPase in three mammalian lineages sheds light into the evolution of spermatozoa energetics

The paper investigates the evolution of sperm energetics in mammals by analyzing gene duplication and loss of Atp1a4, revealing its role in sodium-dependent glucose uptake and subsequent pseudogenization in three lineages.

The evolutionary path of the epithelial sodium channel delta-subunit in Cetartiodactyla points to a role in sodium sensing

The paper traces the evolutionary changes in the ENaC delta-subunit in cetartiodactyls, suggesting it functions in sodium sensing and became obsolete in marine cetaceans.
