Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

Hyperostosis frontalis interna: Observed patterns, prevalence, and dementia associations in older adults

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Hyperostosis frontalis interna (HFI) is a frequently underrecognized condition characterized by overgrowth of the frontal endocranium, most commonly observed in post‐menopausal women. Although its etiology remains unclear, hormonal influences and a possible relationship with neurocognitive changes have been proposed.

Neanderthal had a “crush” on fats. Macronutrient estimation in Middle Paleolithic (Late Mousterian) hunter-gatherers of southern Italy

Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology
During the Late Mousterian period Apulia (southeastern Italy) was characterized by frequent and prolonged aridity that could have caused the scarcity of vegetable foods and, consequently, a lack of important nutritional compounds.

Clade‐wide morphological and functional variation of the sauropsid columella

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The columella (=stapes) is the middle ear bone of reptiles that transmits vibrations from the environment to the inner ear. It has been shown to exhibit extensive interspecific morphological disparity in several clades; however, its morphological variation and associated functional consequences remain poorly described.

Specialization of the upper and lower olfactory rosettes reveals sex- and origin-dependent plasticity in gene expression in Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis)

BMC Biology
Background Olfaction mediates several aspects of fish behaviour, including reproduction. In Senegalese sole (Solea senegalensis), a reproductive dysfunction in captive-bred (CB) males limits the establishment of an effective artificial production system ...

Tracing the evolutionary history of the morpho‐anatomy of baculum in primates

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Animal morphology reflects both evolutionary history and present‐day adaptation. Male mammal copulatory structures such as the baculum (penile bone) are ideal for studying these processes because of their complexity and high interspecific variability. In primates, however, research has focused mostly on baculum length.
