Comparative functional morphological study of the tarsal joint mobility in artiodactyls and perissodactyls in light of astragalar morphological differences

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 587-603, September 2026.
This study investigated how variations in the shape of the astragalus affect tarsal joint behavior, using CT scans. In artiodactyls with a double‐pulley astragalus, the calcaneus shifted plantarly during plantarflexion. This suggests the movement increases hindlimb functional length and contributes to enhanced running speed.

Twenty‐Year Progress in Landscape Genetics of Tetrapods

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Geographic distribution of tetrapod landscape genetics between 2003 and 2025. ABSTRACT Landscape genetics, an interdisciplinary field integrating population genetics, landscape ecology, and spatial analytical techniques, has progressed significantly over two decades, yet systematic reviews of its application to tetrapods remain limited. Here, we review

Description of the skull, braincase, and dentition of Moschognathus whaitsi (Dinocephalia, Tapinocephalia), and its palaeobiological and behavioral implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1713-1748, July 2026.
Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

Evolution of Acidic Mammalian Chitinase Gene (CHIA) is Related to Insectivory Feeding in Rodents

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
This study provides the first systematic investigation into the molecular evolution of the acidic mammalian chitinase (CHIA) gene across 37 rodent species with diverse diets. Results demonstrate that the CHIA gene has been lost or pseudogenized in obligate herbivores, while being maintained under purifying selection in chitin‐consuming lineages, with ...
