Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Judith Shardo"
- Judith Shardo's research primarily focuses on comparative physiology and embryology, exploring the adaptations and developmental processes in various aquatic species, including pipefish and teleostean fishes.
- Her work on the Gulf pipefish highlights the potential osmoregulatory functions of the male brood pouch, contributing to the understanding of parental care and embryo development in euryhaline environments.
- Additionally, Shardo’s studies on aquatic snakes reveal intricate anatomical adaptations, specifically the rhinokinetic movement of the snout, which enhances their feeding efficiency by increasing the effective stroke distance during swallowing.
