Exploring Normal to Abnormal Variations of Grooming Behaviours in Cats

Veterinary Dermatology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 865-875, October 2026.
Background: Grooming is a maintenance behaviour accounting for 4% of a cat's activity budget. It consists of several short bouts, and is modified by pruritus and some psychogenic diseases in cats. Objectives: This study aimed to describe cats' grooming behaviour, investigating normal variations in relation to hair length and grooming modifications in ...

Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2286-2297, September 2026.
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

Quantitative assessment of masticatory muscles based on skull muscle attachment areas in Carnivora

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2368-2394, September 2026.
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 ...

On the Larval Sensory Organs and Central Nervous System of the Zoea 1 of the Asian Shore Crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus (Decapoda, Brachyura)

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 9, September 2026.
We provide a description of the morphology of selected sensory organs and of the central nervous system in the Zoea 1 of the Asian shore crab Hemigrapsus sanguineus using multiple neuroanatomical methods. Our data reveal well‐developed visual and olfactory organs and complex primary sensory neuropils related to processing this input.

Genomic Insights Into the Body Size Evolution in Felidae (Mammalia: Carnivora)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study performed reannotation of the genomes of two felid species and conducted the first genomic analysis of body size variation and evolution in Felidae. Our results demonstrate that felid body size evolution is driven by adaptive changes in both core signaling pathways and individual key genes.
