American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The soil depth of underground storage organs (USOs) of geophytes involves cost–benefit trade‐offs and may relate to USO age, size, and disturbances such as fire and herbivory. Yet determinants of USO depth are poorly studied. We posit that belowground mammalian predation of USOs is a selective force for the positive relationship ...

Exceptional preservation informs the paleobiology of tapinocephalid dinocephalians
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The tapinocephalid dinocephalian Moschops is one of the most iconic taxa of the middle Permian, yet its paleobiology remains one of the least well‐known. Here, we address some aspects of paleoneurology and paleobiology of Moschops using CT scanning of four well preserved skulls from the upper Abrahamskraal Formation of South Africa. Two of the
