The ecological and developmental foundations of brood parasitism in a catfish
Abstract Interspecific brood parasitism has evolved repeatedly from parental care. However, many non-avian brood-parasitic lineages have ancestors lacking parental care, leaving the foundations of brood parasitism in these lineages enigmatic. We examine ecological, reproductive, and developmental data from the Lake Tanganyika radiation of Synodontis catfishes, where one species, the cuckoo catfish, exhibits brood parasitism of mouthbrooding cichlid fishes.
The dental plate on bichir pectoral fins: A unique dermal skeletal element bearing individual odontodes with tooth‐like replacement
1 INTRODUCTION The early evolution of vertebrates was greatly facilitated by the appearance of a dermal skeletal armour protecting our predecessors from the predation by giant invertebrates (Romer, 1933).

Experimental and Environmental Analysis of High-Strength Geopolymer Based on Waste Bricks and Blast Furnace Slag
1. Introduction Since the exorbitant depletion of natural resources and the generation of huge amounts of waste negatively affects the stability of ecosystems and creates a significant threat to future human well-being, rethinking the materials base represents an important challenge for present society [1]. Namely, about 4.8 tons of waste are produced per EU inhabitant, while only 39.2% of waste is recycled.
Toxic and Biodegradation Potential of Waste Tires for Microorganisms Based on Two Experimental Designs
Abstract : Waste tires from traffic are a well-known environmental problem today. For this reason, the toxicity and potential biodegradation of crushed tires were tested in a respiration test with microorganisms. A non-specific soil microbial community was used. Two experimental designs and their effect on the results were compared—a test with the eluate from tires and a contact test, i.e., the solution containing tire particles during the test.
