Islands are a classic focus for evolutionary studies. One topic of great interest has been the evolution of “dwarfs,” significantly smaller island mammals relative to their continental counterparts.

How not to disappear completely: new Stereospondyli fossils from the Rhaetian, Upper Triassic of Bonenburg, North Rhine-Westphalia and their implications for the Late Triassic extinction of Stereospondyli [PDF]
Temnospondyli appeared in the early Carboniferous, became extinct in the Early Cretaceous and reached high diversity especially during the Permian and Triassic.

The Diagenetic Alterations of Historic Skeletons from the Crown Mines Cemetery, South Africa
Human skeletons associated with early gold mining in Johannesburg, South Africa are investigated. An unmarked cemetery was buried beneath a mine dump which resulted in macroscopically stained and poorly preserved bones.

Osteohistology of hyperodapedontine rhynchosaurs from the Upper Triassic of Southern Brazil [PDF]
The first osteohistological study focused exclusively on rhynchosaurs (non-archosauriform archosauromorphs), based on the hyperodapedontines Teyumbaita sulcognathus and Hyperodapedon sp., from the Upper Triassic of Southern Brazil, indicates a relatively

New Comparative Data on the Long Bone Microstructure of Large Extant and Extinct Flightless Birds
Here, we investigate whether bone microanatomy can be used to infer the locomotion mode (cursorial vs. graviportal) of large terrestrial birds. We also reexamine, or describe for the first time, the bone histology of several large extant and extinct ...

Background: After tooth extraction, the alveolar bone loses volume in height and width over time, meaning that reconstructive procedures may be necessary to perform implant placement.

First record of palaeopathologies in appendicular bones of the Triassic pseudosuchians Erpetosuchidae and Aetosauria based on microstructural approaches [PDF]
Pseudosuchians were the dominant group of archosaurs on continental ecosystems during the Triassic. However, studies that report palaeopathologies based on osteohistological evidence in this group are scarce. Here, two cases of palaeopathologies found in

Abnormalities in Bone Mineral Density and Bone Histology in Thalassemia [PDF]
Abstract This study demonstrated that there was extensive iron staining on trabecular surface and marked reduction in trabecular bone volume without significant alteration in bone formation and bone resorption rates as well as significant reduction in bone mineral density in 18 thalassemic patients.
