Physiological implications of the bone histology of Syntarsus rhodesiensis (Saurischia: Theropoda) [PDF]
Femora of Syntarsus rhodesiensis specimens of differing ontogenetic stages were sectioned and prepared for histological study. Features such as the structure of the cortical bone tissue, the degree of vascularisation and haversian substitution, and the ...

Microplastics (MPs) have become pervasive environmental pollutants with significant impacts on ecosystems, particularly aquatic environments. As these particles infiltrate various habitats, they are ingested by a wide range of organisms, from plankton to

Did pathogens facilitate the rise of endothermy?
The evolutionary success of endothermy in mammals and birds represents an enduring enigma. Relative to an ectotherm of equivalent body size, endotherms expend many times the energy to maintain high, stable body temperatures.

bayesTPC: Bayesian inference for thermal performance curves in R
Reliable predictions of ectotherm responses to climatic warming are important because many of these organisms perform important roles that can directly impact human society.

Cardiovascular function in ectotherm sauropsids [PDF]
Although the anatomy of the heart and its outflow tract differs between crocodiles and all other extant ectotherm sauropsids (i.e. Chelonia, Rhynchocephalia, and Squamata), they share one unique feature: All ectotherm sauropsids are able to bypass the ...
