Re‐evaluation of a soft crested Edmontosaurin, with implications for hadrosaurid life appearance and diversity

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2636-2655, October 2026.
Abstract Hadrosaurid dinosaurs are generally regarded as “crested” or “non‐crested” depending on the presence or absence of a bony cranial crest. At least one supposedly “non‐crested” hadrosaur is known to have possessed a soft tissue cranial crest (or comb), based on an exceptionally preserved “mummified” specimen. Here we redescribe this specimen and

Building phenotypic character matrices for phylogenetic inference: exploration of 35 years of practice

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2379-2407, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent methodological development in phylogenetic inference has focused predominantly on molecular data. However, renewed interest in other data types, particularly morphological data, has followed from the increased recognition of the power of total evidence and tip‐dating approaches, including fossil data, for inference of time‐scaled trees ...

Fragmentation by Dams and Habitat Quality Affect Body Condition of a Small Characid in a Neotropical System

Ecology of Freshwater Fish, Volume 35, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The structure of stream networks naturally fragments freshwater habitats, but this complexity is increasingly intensified by dams and reservoirs. How anthropogenic fragmentation interacts with natural isolation gradients to affect fish populations remains poorly understood.

Hoffmann's two‐toed sloth II: Muscle architectural properties in the thoracic limb of Choloepus (Pilosa: Xenarthra)

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 737-758, October 2026.
Two‐toed sloths use their thoracic limbs for more frequent and greater suspensory support than three‐toed sloths and have muscle architectural properties consistent with stability of the pectoral girdle, enhanced flexor force/torque applied at the shoulder and elbow joints, and grip on the support as indicated by their myology. Abstract Two‐toed sloths

Functional morphology of trabecular bone in the calcaneus of African apes

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 883-898, October 2026.
Pan exhibits significantly higher calcaneal tuberosity trabecular thickness (Tb.Th) and bone volume fraction (BV/TV) than Gorilla, potentially reflecting higher triceps surae forces for vertical climbing. Both taxa have significantly higher Tb.Th and BV/TV in the anterior calcaneus; the difference is exaggerated in Gorilla, potentially reflecting ...

Scaling relationships between Haversian canal‐to‐secondary osteon and midshaft femur cortical‐to‐total area in a human autopsy sample

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 4, Page 865-882, October 2026.
We report that femoral cortical thickness was strongly and negatively associated with secondary osteon porosity in an Australian autopsy sample, indicating that thicker cortices contained less porous secondary osteons. This allometric relationship held for the whole sample, males and sedentary well‐nourished individuals, but not for females or other ...
