Synchrotron radiation reveals the identity of the large felid from Monte Argentario (Early Pleistocene, Italy) [PDF]
, 2018 We describe here a partial skull with associated mandible of a large felid from Monte Argentario, Italy (Early Pleistocene; ~1.5 million years). Propagation x-ray phase-contrast synchrotron microtomography of the specimen, still partially embedded in the

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.This study investigated how variations in the shape of the astragalus affect tarsal joint behavior, using CT scans. In artiodactyls with a double‐pulley astragalus, the calcaneus shifted plantarly during plantarflexion. This suggests the movement increases hindlimb functional length and contributes to enhanced running speed.

Historical shifts, geographic biases, and biological constraints shape mammal species discovery
Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.Taxonomic descriptions of mammals have become more robust from 1990 to 2025, with increased specimen sampling, broader comparisons, and more integrative methods. However, disparities remain: tropical and small‐bodied species are less comprehensively described, reflecting ongoing geographic and biological biases.

Investigating the Potential Consequences of Woodland Creation for British Mammal Populations
Mammal Review, Volume 56, Issue 1, March 2026.We simulated the conversion of suitable areas in the UK to woodland, according to the current and target woodland creation rates, and assessed how this would affect habitat availability and potential population sizes of British mammals. We predicted that most assessed mammals would benefit or be unaffected by planned woodland creation, but some ...

Journal of Morphology, Volume 287, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Understanding the ecological adaptations of extinct species is a central goal in vertebrate palaeontology, but is often limited by the incomplete nature of the fossil record. While skulls and limb bones have traditionally been emphasised in functional and ecological reconstructions, vertebrae are frequently overlooked. While isolated vertebrae
