A new odontocete (Inioidea, Odontoceti) from the late Neogene of North Carolina, USA [PDF]
Fossil Record, 2021 A new monotypic genus of Neogene odontocete (Isoninia borealis) is named on the basis of a partial skull (CMM-V-4061). The holotype was found on the riverbed of the Meherrin River (North Carolina, USA) and probably originated from the Miocene marine ...

Middle ear innovation in Early Cretaceous eutherian mammals
Nature Communications, 2023 The middle ear ossicles in modern mammals are repurposed from postdentary bones in non-mammalian cynodonts. Recent discoveries by palaeontological and embryonic studies have developed different models for the middle ear evolution in mammaliaforms ...

Do Not Lose Your Head over the Unequal Regeneration Capacity in Prolecithophoran Flatworms
Biology, 2022 One of the central questions in studying the evolution of regeneration in flatworms remains whether the ancestral flatworm was able to regenerate all body parts, including the head.

The Diverse Iron Distribution in Eudicotyledoneae Seeds: From Arabidopsis to Quinoa
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Seeds accumulate iron during embryo maturation stages of embryogenesis. Using Arabidopsis thaliana as model plant, it has been described that mature embryos accumulate iron within a specific cell layer, the endodermis.

Significance of some previously unrecognized apomorphies in the nasal region of Homo neanderthalensis. [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1996 For many years, the Neanderthals have been recognized as a distinctive extinct hominid group that occupied Europe and western Asia between about 200,000 and 30,000 years ago. It is still debated, however, whether these hominids belong in their own species, Homo neanderthalensis, or represent an extinct variant of Homo sapiens.

A phylogenomic approach to reconstruct interrelationships of main clupeocephalan lineages with a critical discussion of morphological apomorphies [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2018 Previous molecular studies on the phylogeny and classification of clupeocephalan fishes revealed numerous new taxonomic entities. For re-analysing these taxa, we perform target gene capturing and subsequent next generation sequencing of putative ortholog exons of major clupeocephalan lineages.
