Popliteal sinus venipuncture in anurans

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association
Abstract OBJECTIVE To demonstrate an underutilized, reliable, and technically simple anuran venipuncture technique by use of the popliteal sinus. ANIMALS Medium to large (> 30 g) anuran species. METHODS The animal is manually restrained using an encircling grip around the pelvic girdle. With the ventrum facing the phlebotomist, the phlebotomist

Investigation of Hexagonal Honeycomb Topology for Impact Optimization in Energetic Material

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The regulation of the mechanical properties of energetic materials manufactured by traditional processes is constrained. However, the introduction of lattice structures can facilitate the regulation of mechanical properties without necessitating alterations to the materials themselves. Using finite element analysis and experimental validation,

Helmeted hornbill cranial kinesis: Balancing mobility and stability in a high‐impact joint

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Prokinesis—in which a craniofacial joint allows the rostrum to move relative to the braincase—is thought to confer diverse advantages in birds, mostly for feeding. A craniofacial joint would, however, be a weak link if cranial stability is important. Paradoxically, we have identified a craniofacial joint in helmeted hornbills (Rhinoplax vigil),

The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

A detailed redescription of a skeletally immature ‘Redondasaurus’ suggests ontogenetic transformations in the taxon mirror phytosaurian morphological evolution

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Growth dynamics, skeletochronology, and histovariability of the theropod dinosaur Berthasaura leopoldinae

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Osteohistological sampling on different bones of theropod dinosaur documents discrepant age record, growth, and metabolism. This could result unprecise paleobiological inferences if samplings are based on single bones. However, multi‐bone sampling can attenuate these discrepancies, helping to infer growth dynamics and physiology of these extinct ...
