Morphological variation and allometry of the baculum in stoats, Mustela erminea (Carnivora, Mustelidae) from Western Carpathians [PDF]
, 2018 In this study we investigated allometry and variation in the baculum of the stoat Mustela erminea and compared it with head-and-body length not involved in reproduction. The stoat is a species with pre-copulatory selection (manifested by the high

Functional consequences of extreme morphologies in the craniate trophic system [PDF]
, 2008 Extreme morphologies are often associated with extreme demands on performance in a given ecological setting. Even though such extreme morphologies are relatively rare, the craniate trophic system provides many examples of this evolutionary trend despite ...

Does the Morphology of the Forelimb Flexor Muscles Differ Between Lizards Using Different Habitats? [PDF]
, 2018 Lizards are an interesting group to study how habitat use impacts the morphology of the forelimb because they occupy a great diversity of ecological niches.

The accelerating influence of humans on mammalian macroecological patterns over the late Quaternary [PDF]
, 2019 The transition of hominins to a largely meat-based diet ~1.8 million years ago led to the exploitation of other mammals for food and resources. As hominins, particularly archaic and modern humans, became increasingly abundant and dispersed across the ...
