Modelling Palaeodistributions in Marine Environments: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim This scoping review (ScR) synthesises the current literature on the application of Species Distribution Models (SDM) to past marine environments.

Size Disparity in Putative Primate Adaptive Radiations and Other Mammalian Clades

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adaptive radiation is commonly viewed as the rapid production of phenotypic disparity and taxonomic diversity. Among primates, two clades have been identified as potential adaptive radiations: the lemurs of Madagascar and the platyrrhines of the Americas. This study examines these clades for one of the proposed signals of adaptive

Ontogeny of the malleus in Mesocricetus auratus (Mammalia, Rodentia): Systematic and functional implications for the muroid middle ear

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 989-1004, April 2026.
Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...
