Comparative Anatomy of the Bony Labyrinth (Inner Ear) of Placental Mammals. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND:Variation is a naturally occurring phenomenon that is observable at all levels of morphology, from anatomical variations of DNA molecules to gross variations between whole organisms. The structure of the otic region is no exception.

Osteological correlates of evolutionary transitions in cetacean feeding and related oropharyngeal functions

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Teeth are often the first structures that anatomists and paleontologists examine to understand the ecology and morphology of feeding, both because teeth are highly specialized structures that provide precise information, and because they are among the ...

An insect †Archaeopteryx: Cretaceous amber fossil elucidates the evolution of complex host detection and ovipositor mechanisms in parasitoid woodwasps (Hymenoptera: Orussoidea)

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 630-645, July 2025.
We describe †Cretovelona orussopteryx n. gen. & sp. from Kachin amber. The fossil is examined with synchrotron scanning and integrated into an existing morphological data set for Orussoidea. This fossil parasitoid wasp displays a unique character combination demonstrating intermediate conditions in evolving the complex features employed in echo ...

Risk posed by the HPAI virus H5N1, Eurasian lineage goose/Guangdong clade 2.3.4.4b. genotype B3.13, currently circulating in the US

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 23, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract The emergence of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5N1), clade 2.3.4.4b, genotype B3.13 in U.S. dairy cattle marks a significant shift in the virus' host range and epidemiological profile. Infected cattle typically exhibit mild clinical signs, such as reduced milk production, mastitis and fever, with morbidity generally below 20% and

Establishing death in stranded Odontocetes (toothed whales) using other mammals : a pilot study : a thesis presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The aim of this study was to investigate and evaluate a new method for determining death in stranded odontocetes (toothed whales). The new method was using the pulsations seen in the retinal blood vessels in the place of the heart rate. The retinal blood

Landscape Change and Threats to Conservation of River Dolphin Inia araguaiaensis (Cetacea: Iniidae) in the Brazilian Savanna

open access: yesInternational Review of Hydrobiology, Volume 110, Issue 1, Page 13-21, June 2025.
ABSTRACT River dolphins are the least studied and most threatened cetaceans. Anthropogenic activities, including habitat fragmentation, pollution, and declining fish stocks, pose significant challenges to their survival. This study evaluated the effects of landscape changes resulting from human activity on the encounter rates of the putative species of

Darwin and evolution: a set of activities based on the evolution of mammals [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
These activities, prepared for key stage 5 students (ages 16-18) and also suitable for key stage 4 (ages 14-16), show that physical appearance is not necessarily the best way to classify mammals.

New light on the trophic ecology of Carcharodon hastalis from teeth embedded in Miocene cetacean vertebrae from Calvert Cliffs in Maryland, USA

open access: yesActa Palaeontologica Polonica
Recent isotopic analyses of the teeth of the extinct lamnid Carcharodon hastalis showed that it fed at a comparable trophic level as was the fossil and modern great white shark, Carcharodon carcharias. Although there are many examples of shark bite marks
