Redescription of the Triassic cynodont Cistecynodon parvus and reassessment of its phylogeny
Abstract Cynodontia is an important subclade of Therapsida that first occurred in the late Permian. It includes extinct subclades which are the non‐mammaliaform cynodonts and Mammaliaformes, with the latter ultimately giving rise to crown mammals. The systematics of non‐mammaliaform cynodonts has been extensively studied and is relatively well‐resolved,

Early evolution of the gular musculature and its innervation in ray‐finned fishes
Abstract Gular muscles are an important but often overlooked component of cranial anatomy in bony fishes. They are located on the ventral surface of the head and are derived from the mandibular and hyoid arches. We present a comprehensive review of the gular musculature and its innervation across early diverging actinopterygian lineages. By integrating

What History of Sculpture in the 20th Century? [PDF]
Titles delivered in 2002 confirm the sustained interest in studies on sculpture. From the viewpoint of the consolidation of knowledge, we now have a fine catalogue raisonne of the sculpted work of Fenosa (1899-1988), a protege of Picasso and Cocteau, author of the Tempete pourchassee par le beau temps (1957), set in the Boulevard Saint-Jacques in Paris

The fossil record stays silent: Confusions and conundrums for hominin pelvis evolution
Abstract The evolution of the hominin pelvis is commonly modeled as a series of stages driven largely by the requirements of bipedal locomotion, reproduction, thermoregulation, and pelvic floor muscular support. These patterns are complicated by variation in canal dimensions in relationship with different changes in overall pelvic breadths. To quantify
