Osteohistological evidence for terrestrial adaptation and an extended growth period in mekosuchine crocodylians and its potential role in their extinction

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Australasian crocodylian fossil record is dominated by the extinct endemic clade Mekosuchinae, with known members spanning the Eocene‐to‐Holocene. This diverse clade exhibited high morphological disparity, from early members superficially similar to Crocodylus, to more terrestrial forms later in the clade's evolutionary history.

Morphological plasticity in the dentition of the lungfish Gnathorhiza from the Permian of Brazil: A population‐level geometric morphometric analysis

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental plates are pivotal in the lungfish paleontological record, constituting highly mineralized structures resilient to diagenetic processes. This study provides a detailed description and quantitative shape analysis of 95 newly discovered Gnathorhiza sp. dental plates from the Middle–Late Permian Corumbataí Formation, Brazil.

Bioerosion traces in bones reveal an increase in ethological diversity in the insect exploitation of carcasses in the late Triassic

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents the first detailed description of bioerosion traces produced by insects in bones from the Santa Cruz Sequence (early Carnian, Santa Maria Supersequence, Brazil). An array of traces is reported, consisting of notches, a tube, trails of grooves attributed to the ichnotaxon Osteocallis mandibulus and ornamented depressions ...

Ocular morphology and morphometry of the great egret (Ardea alba): A comprehensive anatomical description

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is widely distributed, yet knowledge of its ocular morphology remains limited. This study described the morphometry and morphology of the eyeball and its accessory glands in six specimens using radiography, morphometry, light and scanning electron microscopy, and 3D scanning.
