Humans and platyrrhines share a pattern of articular variance
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Previous work has identified a pattern of articular shape variation in modern human limb joints, in which convex joint surfaces exhibit constrained variance relative to their more variable concave conarticulars. This pattern is notable given that joint morphogenesis is influenced by local biomechanical environments, which vary substantially ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Histological structure of esophagus. Abstract The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of the histological and histochemical organization of the esophagus in two avian species with different feeding ecologies. A total of 6 individuals were used for this purpose (3 storks, 3 common buzzards).

Evaluating Bergmann's and Allen's rules in the long bones of the eastern gray squirrel
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Ecogeographical rules predict variation in body size and appendage proportions across climatic gradients, yet intraspecific tests using long bones from wild populations remain limited among small mammals. This study tests the hypothesis that eastern gray squirrels (Sciurus carolinensis) conform to Bergmann's rule, that is, body size increases ...

Ecological and Habitat Restoration for Insect Conservation
Ecological restoration, the process of assisting the recovery of an ecosystem, can benefit insect conservation. The restoration of native plant species is often associated with natural recovery of insects, firstly phytophagous and pollinators. Restoration can also specifically aim at assisting the recovery of a particular insect taxon: meadows reopened

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Extant turtles occupy freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their nasal region provides important evidence for the evolution of respiration‐ and sensory‐related cranial morphology. However, developmental data on the turtle nasal capsule remain limited, particularly in Pleurodira.

Factors affecting distribution and habitat selection of water shrews Neomys fodiens [PDF]
, 2012 The water shrew Neomys fodiens is one of Britain’s least known mammals and its habitat requirements are poorly understood. The purpose of this study was to determine occurrence and associated habitat preferences of water shrews, a species of conservation
