Frequency of arboreality is correlated with longer hand skeletons in Gorilla: Analysis of a new skeletal sample of Bwindi mountain gorillas

Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 3, Page 544-564, September 2026.
Variation in arboreality across gorilla populations is associated with systematic differences in manual digital lengths. Using a new dataset of linear metrics from the Bwindi mountain gorillas, we quantify metacarpal and phalangeal lengths in eastern and western gorilla populations across all five rays. Consistent with quantified behavioral differences,

Law and Ethics of Nanotechnology: Traditional Legal Tools Advancing Nanomedicine

physica status solidi (a), Volume 223, Issue 15, 5 August 2026.
Science fiction from the last decades is rapidly becoming science in daily life. For example, nanotechnology does cool things like creating driverless cars for people who are blind and storing solar energy to drive electric cars. Nanotechnology makes possible 3D printing of housing, clothing, and food and miraculous treatments for previously incurable ...

Functional Differences in Muscle Architecture Across the Pelvis and Hind Limb of Primates

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives Understanding the architectural diversity of primate musculature is essential for interpreting locomotor function and reconstructing evolutionary adaptations. This study examines whether interspecific differences in pelvic and hind limb muscle architecture reflect functional differentiation among major muscle groups.

New craniodental materials of Falcarius utahensis (Theropoda: Therizinosauria) reveal patterns of intraspecific variation and cranial evolution in early coelurosaurians

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 1995-2048, August 2026.
Abstract Despite documented ecomorphological shifts toward an herbivorous diet in several coelurosaurian lineages, the evolutionary tempo and mode of these changes remain poorly understood, hampered by sparse cranial materials for early representatives of major clades. This is particularly true for Therizinosauria, with representative crania best known

Diet of bird‐like troodontid dinosaurs: synthesis of a contentious clade

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1760-1778, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Troodontidae is a clade of small‐to medium‐sized maniraptoran theropods that mainly lived in Laurasia (modern Asia, North America and Europe) during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods and are believed to have had a variety of diets. The uniqueness of troodontid teeth suggests that they diverged from the typical flesh‐based diet of non‐avian ...
