The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Last year, we challenged the view that large‐bodied theropod dinosaurs such as Tyrannosaurus rex resembled primates in cognition and behavior, a proposition made by Herculano‐Houzel in 2023. More recently, Jensen et al. have criticized our work on this topic, raising methodological and conceptual issues.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Differences in skull and tooth morphology, stomach contents, and estimated bite force between medium‐to‐large sized (≥100 kg) predatory theropod dinosaurs have long been suspected to correlate with differences in their diets and dietary guilds (e.g., hypercarnivory, piscivory).

EcosphereFrugivore foraging behavior is largely influenced by two key groups of chemical traits: nutrients and secondary metabolites. Many secondary metabolites function in plant defense, but their consumption can negatively impact both mutualistic and ...

Polar Research, 2018 Antarctic (Arctocephalus gazella) and Subantarctic (A. tropicalis) fur seals are important predators in the Southern Ocean. Marion Island (southern Indian Ocean) hosts the largest sympatric breeding populations of these two species.

Diving behaviour of adult male white whales (Delphinapterus leucas) in Svalbard, Norway
Polar Research, 2019 White whales (Delphinapterus leucas) in Svalbard remain near the coast much of the year, spending most of their time in front of tidewater glaciers. In this article, the diving behaviour of adult male white whales in Svalbard (N = 16) is presented based ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Neuroanatomical research has progressed considerably in several vertebrate lineages, yet studies of reptilian brain morphology remain markedly underdeveloped. Here we provide the first description of macroscopic brain anatomy and its ontogeny in the viperid Bothrops moojeni, based on a sample of seven individuals.

Journal of Field Ornithology, 2023 We studied the foraging behavior of the federally threatened coastal California Gnatcatcher (Polioptila californica), an obligate insectivore, during the non-breeding season, a period of reduced survivorship for this non-migratory passerine due to ...

Computational fluid dynamics simulations of airflow through the nasal passages of rhinolophoid bats
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The nasal passages of bats that emit their echolocation call through their nostrils have adapted for sound emission as well as standard respiratory and olfactory functions. Rhinolophids, hipposiderids and rhinonycterids all use a high duty cycle (HDC) echolocation strategy.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Triassic pseudosuchians had highly diversified cranial morphologies. These archosaurs occupied diverse ecological roles, ranging from terrestrial predators and herbivores to semiaquatic ambush predators and possible waders. Here, we apply linear cranial morphometrics to assess possible convergences with other sauropsids from the clades ...

The 9+ month marathon: How pregnancy may have shaped human endurance capacities
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Anthropology has long considered the evolution of our uniquely human endurance capacities to be the result of selection upon anatomical and physiological features imposed by the demands of thermoregulation and resource acquisition, particularly during the demands of persistence hunting. Research has focused on the anatomical changes present in
