First Mediterranean record and north‐eastern range extension of the African seahorse Hippocampus algiricus

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The African seahorse Hippocampus algiricus has been considered restricted to the eastern Atlantic coast of Africa, with occasional records in Macaronesian archipelagos. The species is currently classified as Vulnerable by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Comparative functional morphological study of the tarsal joint mobility in artiodactyls and perissodactyls in light of astragalar morphological differences

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study investigated how variations in the shape of the astragalus affect tarsal joint behavior, using CT scans. In artiodactyls with a double‐pulley astragalus, the calcaneus shifted plantarly during plantarflexion. This suggests the movement increases hindlimb functional length and contributes to enhanced running speed.

Postcranial anatomy of the Miocene hippopotamoids of Toros‐Menalla, Chad

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
We establish a framework for the identification of postcranial remains in hippopotamoids by describing and comparing for the first time two late Miocene hippopotamoids from Toros‐Menalla, Chad (Hexaprotodon garyam, an early hippopotamid, and Libycosaurus bahri, the last African anthracothere) with the common hippopotamus.

Microanatomical features of bovids long bones: What are the effects of mass and habitat?

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study provides the first qualitative and quantitative exploration of inter‐bones and interspecific variations in the microanatomy of long bones in bovids in response to significant changes in body mass and habitat. Abstract Bovids are a valuable group for studying limb long bone adaptations due to differences in size and the environment that the ...

How do forelimb long bones adapt in rhinoceroses? An in‐depth examination of their microanatomy

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Here, we study the bone structure in the forelimb long bones of the five extant species of rhinoceroses. By combining traditional description of virtual sections made on the bones (A) with in‐depth cartographies of the variation of bone compactness and anisotropy (B), we show how bone tissue can adapt to extreme forces and constraints in the second ...
