The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2315-2330, September 2026.Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2487-2506, September 2026.Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Spinal Cord Sarcoidosis Treated With Infliximab
Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Isolated spinal cord lesion could be misinterpreted as a demyelinating disease. The diagnosis of sarcoidosis should be in the differential when other indices for a demyelinating disorder are absent. An inadequate response to intravenous steroid therapy should not rule out spinal sarcoidosis as this report confirms the response to intravenous ...

Loners Have It: Insights on Breeding and Non‐Breeding Individuals of Sloth Bears in Central India
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Dynamics of breeding biology, such as intraspecific sexual segregation, indicate avoidance of infanticide and/or reduced resource competition, which are reported for some bear species but are lacking for Sloth bears (Melursus ursinus). We found that mother bears with cubs segregate themselves from lone adults spatio‐temporally by avoiding resource‐rich

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.We analysed 16 years of census data from 27 protected areas across Iran to identify factors associated with population growth in the goitered gazelle (Gazella subgutturosa). Population dynamics were associated primarily with protection history and management characteristics and with water availability in surrounding landscapes, while broad‐scale ...
