Different shape but the same topographical complexity—The lingual gross anatomy of the Saimaa (Pusa saimensis) and Baltic ringed seals (Pusa hispida botnica)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the distinctly different shapes of their tongues, the tongue gross anatomy of Saimaa ringed seal closely resembled that of Baltic ringed seal. There were no differences in the extrinsic and intrinsic tongue muscles or their associated vascularization and innervation between Saimaa and Baltic ringed seals.

Comparative micro‐ornamentation patterns of reptile skin: Phylogeny‐ecology debate and species‐specific variations

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Phylogenetic limitations seem more decisive than life habit in the diversity of reptile skin micro‐ornamentation. The ancestral form possibly had polygonal cells with regular borders, smooth surface and had no ridges. Cell morphology change gradually on a single scale, especially widths at scale base are greater than those at middle.
