Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora
Abstract Masticatory muscles are composed of the temporalis, masseter, and pterygoid muscles in mammals. Each muscle has a different origin on the skull and insertion on the mandible; thus, all masticatory muscles contract in different directions. Collecting in vivo data and directly measuring the masticatory muscles anatomically in various Carnivora ...

Impact of Rainfall on Aquatic and Terrestrial Species Monitoring Using Riverine Environmental DNA
Environmental DNA (eDNA) has enabled simultaneous monitoring of aquatic and terrestrial vertebrates, yet the influence of rainfall on detection patterns remains poorly understood. In this study, we sampled river water in the Kiyotake catchment in Japan and compared vertebrate detection patterns under rainfall and non‐rainfall conditions.

Extinct Species Unearth Bergmann's Rule in Canidae
ABSTRACT Aim Interspecific patterns of Bergmann's rule may be concealed by species extinctions within clades. We evaluate whether incorporating extinct species and paleoenvironmental information improves the detection of Bergmann's rule in the family Canidae, and test whether temperature and net primary productivity (NPP) explain interspecific ...
