Beyond protective factors and normal IQ in preterm children: More executive disorders than expected
Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.Abstract Executive functions (EF) are vulnerable in preterm children. Owing to methodological issues, inconsistent findings have left some questions unresolved. This study implemented a theory‐guided, integrative EF assessment in preterm children. We also examined the impact of perinatal and sociodemographic features on EF disorder.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Here, we present novel CT scan data of caudal vertebrae of six Middle–Late Jurassic sauropods, representing several eusauropod lineages. We synthesise these new data with a comprehensive critical appraisal of purported external and internal evidence for caudal vertebral PSP in Sauropodomorpha.

How do forelimb long bones adapt in rhinoceroses? An in‐depth examination of their microanatomy
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Here, we study the bone structure in the forelimb long bones of the five extant species of rhinoceroses. By combining traditional description of virtual sections made on the bones (A) with in‐depth cartographies of the variation of bone compactness and anisotropy (B), we show how bone tissue can adapt to extreme forces and constraints in the second ...

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.The evaluation of the endocranial anatomy of 43 crocodylian species reveals several differences, including variation in the curvature of the encephalic endocast, the size of the endosseous labyrinth and paratympanic sinuses, and the presence of additional snout sinuses.

Comparative histological analysis of vertebrates reveals Triassic climate variability across southern Pangea. [PDF]
J AnatBone tissues of Triassic taxa reveal life history signals consistent with climatic variation across southern Pangea, spanning present‐day Brazil, Argentina, Zimbabwe, and India. Slower growth patterns within the Zimbabwean assemblage suggest a comparatively more arid intracontinental environment than those closer to the coast. Artwork by Andrey Atuchin.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.A three‐dimensional model is used to analyze the locomotor biomechanics of the large Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Postosuchus kirkpatricki. The study finds that it is more uncertain than previously concluded whether it was quadrupedal or bipedal, and plantigrade or digitigrade, but it clearly had locomotor specializations including large hindlimb

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds
Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Layer‐by‐layer passive ex vivo assessment of flexion–extension‐dominant limb joint ROM across rabbit, pudu deer, chilla fox and pig revealed joint‐, tissue‐ and taxon‐specific responses to progressive tissue removal. Proximal joints often showed increasing ROM, whereas distal joints often showed non‐monotonic responses.
