Microstructure and development of the dermal ossicles of Antarctopelta oliveroi (Dinosauria, Ankylosauria): A complex morphogenetic system deciphered through three‐dimensional X‐ray microtomography

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 3-4, Page 665-681, September/October 2025.
Series of images of the dermal ossicle of Antarctopelta oliveroi (Dinosauria, Ankylosauria) illustrating (A) the 3D distribution of the vascular mesh in the ossicle; (B) the large volume of the numerous cells in periphery; (C) the radial orientation of the fiber bundles in the main core of the osteoderm (called basal plate); (D) the orthogonal ...

Enigmatic Nodal and Lefty gene repertoire discrepancy: Latent evolutionary history revealed by vertebrate‐wide phylogeny

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, Volume 254, Issue 8, Page 887-901, August 2025.
Abstract Homology in vertebrate body plans is traditionally ascribed to the high‐level conservation of regulatory components within the genetic programs governing them, particularly during the “phylotypic stage.” However, advancements in embryology and molecular phylogeny have unveiled the dynamic nature of gene repertoires responsible for early ...

Evolutionary diversification of epidermal barrier genes in amphibians

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
The epidermal differentiation complex (EDC) is a cluster of genes encoding components of the skin barrier in terrestrial vertebrates. EDC genes can be categorized as S100 fused-type protein (SFTP) genes such as filaggrin, which contain two coding exons ...

The heart and aortic arches of rhinatrematid caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnophiona) [PDF]

open access: yesZoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 1996
Previous studies have shown there to be considerable inter-specific variation in the cardiovascular anatomy of five of the six families of caecilians. Observations on the previously unstudied Rhinatrematidae reveal this family to be characterized by a number of cardiovascular features that are unique within the Gymnophiona.

Generation length of the world's amphibians and reptiles

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
Variation in life histories influences demographic processes, from adaptive changes to population declines leading to extinction. Among life history traits, generation length offers a critical feature to forecast species' demographic trajectories such as population declines (widely used by the IUCN Red List) and adaptability to environmental change ...
