A Tale of Appendages: Investigating Limb and Tail Variation in Salamanders
We analyzed limb and tail proportions in 44% of known salamander species using a phylogenetic comparative approach. Our results revealed significant variation among families and ecological groups, with aquatic species showing longer limbs and basal lineages having shorter tails.

This study reports two isolated feather fossils from the Lower Cretaceous Dabeigou Formation in northeastern China. Morphological analyses identified them as the earliest known feathered theropods (potentially including avian) in the Jehol Biota. This finding reveals a complex ecosystem at the dawn of the Jehol Biota, bridging the temporal and faunal ...

We developed LeoNet, a lightweight deep learning model for leopard individual identification. It achieved 97.42% accuracy and was robust to age‐related pattern changes and unfamiliar individuals. Applied to camera‐trap data from the Taihang Mountains, LeoNet identified 41 wild North China leopards and generated individual‐level records to support ...

Peri‐oesophageal metastases of pulmonary adenocarcinoma presenting as dysphagia in a dog
Primary pulmonary neoplasia represents approximately one percent of canine cancers. Although it is recognised that many of these cases may not display classic respiratory signs, dysphagia is not an expected presentation. This report describes a twelve‐year‐old Border Collie that presented with a history of progressive dysphagia and weight loss over ...

A 3‐year‐old male Border Collie diagnosed with immune‐mediated dermatopathy, managed with tapering prednisolone and cyclosporine, developed rapidly progressive ocular signs and additional cutaneous lesions. Histopathology, mycological culture, polymerase chain reaction and sequencing confirmed intraocular and cutaneous infection due to Curvularia ...
