Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.The values of the modulus of elasticity (E) for each species whiskers were obtained when the FE model was aligned to the maximum displacement values of the experiment. Grey seal E values were larger than Eurasian otter, which were larger than red fox. Whisker shape outline examples can be seen for the selected whiskers for grey seals, Eurasian otters ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.The marsupial masticatory apparatus has rarely been studied until recently, mainly in Australasian species. We therefore reconstructed the maximum bite forces of the South American Linnaeus's mouse opossum Marmosa murina using in vivo bites, specimen dissections, and 3D static equilibrium of the jaw muscles.

Morphology and development of the baculum in harbour seals (Phoca vitulina)
Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.This study examines the ontogenetic changes in the morphology of the penis bone in the harbour seal, focusing on the implications for sexual maturity and reproductive function. A large comparative dataset of approx. 300 genital bones from 1 year to over 20 years of age was used for analyses.

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.We collected camera trap data of small carnivores in Tsitongambarika Nouvelle Aire Protégée, south‐east Madagascar, and detected four endemic Euplerid species, that is, Cryptoprocta ferox, Fossa fossana, Galidia elegans, and Galidictis fasciata, and three non‐native species, that is, Viverricula indica, Canis familiaris, and Felis sp.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.We identified Culex pipiens bloodmeals at the species level in natural, agricultural and peri‐urban habitats and calculated host preferences based on forage ratios. This analysis showed Passeriformes, and in particular Columba livia, Passer montanus and Turdus sp., to be the preferred Cx. pipiens hosts.

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.Urban environments alter host–parasite dynamics, as seen in Nasua nasua, where haemotropic Mycoplasma plays a key role in parasite spread through frequent social interactions. Network analysis revealed low modularity in interactions between N. nasua and tick‐borne haemoparasites, with functional roles unaffected by biotic factors, tick infestation or ...
