Melon and rostral muscle morphology of Gervais' beaked whale (Mesoplodon europaeus): Alternating patterns of bilateral asymmetry
Denk, M., McLellan, W., Pabst, D. A., Rommel, S., Keenan, T., Sharp, S., … Moore, M. (2023, August 7). ANATOMICAL RECORD-ADVANCES IN INTEGRATIVE ANATOMY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, Vol. 8.
author keywords: bioacoustics; echolocation; functional anatomy; nasal morphology; Odontoceti; Ziphiidae
TL;DR:
The curvilinear melon morphology and associated asymmetrical musculature suggest a means of lengthening the lipid pathway within a relatively short dimensional footprint and the species-specific arrangement of muscular projections suggests complex fine-tuning of the melon's geometry during echolocation.

MeSH headings : Animals; Cold-Shock Response; Eye Diseases / pathology; Eye Diseases / veterinary; Turtles
TL;DR:
Though some blinding lesions were noted, these were not present bilaterally in any one turtle, and thus, ocular findings did not affect release, so evaluation of cold-stunned turtles should include a complete ophthalmic examination.

TL;DR:
It is concluded that acute hypoxia triggered an overall downregulation of the immune system in the test fish, suggesting a possible factor in the pathogenesis of disease outbreaks in fish in which repeated, sublethal bouts of environmentally induced hypoxIA lead to increased disease susceptibility and individual mortalities rather than massive fish kills.

TL;DR:
The observed within-season return nesting rate of the anaesthetising turtles was comparable with that of unanaesthetised turtles, and the lower doses used initially were used initially to ensure against overdosage and reduce the chances of residual effects after the turtles returned to the water, but successful ergs called for step-wise dose increases to the required level of anaesthesia.

Correlation of transforming growth factor-beta messenger RNA (TGF-beta mRNA) expression with cellular immunoassays in triamcinolone-treated captive hybrid striped bass

TL;DR:
Since triamcinolone is used therapeutically as a suppressive immunomodulator, the enhanced immune functions indicated by the cellular immunoassays were unexpected; however, the inverse response of TGF-β production and macrophage bactericidal activity was consistent with the known relationship between TGF/macrophage activation in mammals.
