Anatomical and morphometric evaluation of the orbit, eye tunics, eyelids and orbital glands of the captive females of the South African painted dog (Lycaon pictus pictus Temminck, 1820) (Caniformia: Canidae)

PLOS ONE, 2021
In this study, we present the first data concerning the anatomical, morphometrical, histological and histochemical study of the orbit, eye tunics, eyelids and orbital glands in South African Painted Dogs (Lycaon pictus pictus). The study was performed using eyeball morphometry, analysis of the bony orbit including its morphometry, macroscopic study ...

Segmental composition and nerve distribution of the brachial plexus in Galictis cuja

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Galictis cuja is a neotropical mustelid with terrestrial locomotor habits, yet the anatomy of its brachial plexus has remained undescribed. This study characterizes the origin, organization, and distribution of the brachial plexus nerves in 15 adult specimens (30 antimeres).

Updating the forelimb anatomy of the domestic cat (Felis catus, Felidae) based on evolutionary inferences of its muscles and nerves I: Shoulder and brachium

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the shoulder and brachium muscles and the brachial plexus of the domestic cat (Felis catus). We identified muscular variants (articularis humeri, coracobrachialis longus, biceps brachii caput breve), clarified the independence of the anconeus medialis muscle from the triceps brachii muscle, and ...

Tooth Function of the Northern Raccoon (Procyon lotor) and Adaptations to Omnivory in the Order Carnivora

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 7, July 2026.
The masticatory cycle of Procyon lotor was analysed and visualised, elucidating the occlusal relationships of its cheek dentition. Grinding and crushing were found to play a major role in the tooth function of P. lotor. An OFA analysis furthermore revealed an occlusal relationship between the M1 metaconule and the trigonid basin of the m2, indicating ...

Rodent monocyte‐derived macrophages do not express CD163: Comparative analysis using macrophages from living boreoeutherians

Developmental Dynamics, Volume 255, Issue 4, Page 372-402, April 2026.
Abstract Background CD163 is a scavenger receptor predominantly expressed on the surfaces of macrophages in various mammalian species and is a marker of anti‐inflammatory (M2‐like) macrophages. High density of CD163‐positive tumor‐associated macrophages (TAMs) is associated with worse prognosis in various patient tumors.

Morphological diversity of saber‐tooth upper canines and its functional implications

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 3007-3021, November 2025.
Abstract Elongated upper canine teeth, commonly known as saber‐teeth, have evolved three times within the sub‐order Feliformia. The species that wielded them flourished throughout the Cenozoic and have historically been separated into two morphological groups: the dirk‐tooths with longer, flatter canines, and the scimitar‐tooths with shorter, serrated ...

Exposed weapons: A revised reconstruction of the facial anatomy and life appearance of the saber‐toothed cat Megantereon (Felidae, Machairodontinae)

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2924-2943, November 2025.
Abstract Megantereon was a widespread saber‐toothed felid from the Pliocene and Pleistocene of the Old World and North America, but its rarity in the fossil record makes it complicated to restore its life appearance. Lack of complete specimens makes it necessary to combine information from fossils of different individuals to reconstruct their facial ...

Covariation in the Craniocervical Junction of Carnivora

Journal of Morphology, Volume 285, Issue 11, November 2024.
The craniocervical junction in mammals is a biomechanically unique region that involves the occiput and two specialized vertebrae: the ring‐shaped atlas (CV1) and the axis (CV2) with its peculiar odontoid process (Dens). In Carnivora, the present study indicates that quantitative variation in CV1 morphology reflects a functional signal, while CV2 ...

The primitive giant panda Kretzoiarctos beatrix (Carnivora, Ursidae) from the hominid locality of Hammerschmiede: dietary implications

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 10, Issue 5, September/October 2024.
Abstract Extant giant pandas are among the most herbivorous forms of the order Carnivora, feeding mainly on hard plant material. The first steps of their evolutionary lineage are of particular interest for our understanding of the factors that led to this specialized niche.
