Computed tomography reveals the endocranial anatomy of Crocodylia: Implications for phylogenetic relationships and ecomorphological convergence across Crocodylomorpha

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The evaluation of the endocranial anatomy of 43 crocodylian species reveals several differences, including variation in the curvature of the encephalic endocast, the size of the endosseous labyrinth and paratympanic sinuses, and the presence of additional snout sinuses.

Functional morphology and biomechanics of the locomotor apparatus in the large Late Triassic carnivore Postosuchus kirkpatricki (Archosauria: Rauisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

Bionic Tactile Skins for Robotics: Fundamentals, Advances, and Future Prospects

SmartSys, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Robotic bionic tactile skins (RBTSs), as crucial components of next‐generation robotic systems, have attracted significant attention in recent years. By enabling robots to achieve human‐like tactile perception and interact effectively with their surroundings, RBTSs play an essential role in enhancing robotic intelligence.

Myths, Furphies and Red Herrings Associated With Dingo Ecology and Management

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Variability in the inferential strength or reliability of different scientific studies creates uncertainty in the status of knowledge on a given subject, giving rise to multiple myths, furphies and red herrings in scientific discourse. This is particularly true in the case of dingo ecology and management in Australia, which exemplifies common ...
