Ecomorphological determinations in the absence of living analogs:The predatory behavior of the marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) as revealed by elbow joint morphology [PDF]

, 2016
Thylacoleo carnifex, or the “pouched lion” (Mammalia: Marsupialia: Diprotodontia: Thylacoleonidae), was a carnivorous marsupial that inhabited Australia during the Pleistocene.

Sobre la identidad de un canino superior masculino de hominoideo de la Cuenca del Vallès-Penedès figurado por Pickford (2012)

Estudios Geologicos, 2012
Pickford (2012) involuntariamente figuró—con un número de catálogo erróneo—un canino superior masculino inédito de un primate hominoideo del la Cuenca del Vallès-Penedès (sin especificar su localidad de procedencia), y lo atribuyó al gran antropomorfo ...

Evo-devo of human adolescence: beyond disease models of early puberty [PDF]

, 2013
Despite substantial heritability in pubertal development, much variation remains to be explained, leaving room for the influence of environmental factors to adjust its phenotypic trajectory in the service of fitness goals.

Shape Ontogeny of the Distal Femur in the Hominidae with Implications for the Evolution of Bipedality. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2016
Heterochrony has been invoked to explain differences in the morphology of modern humans as compared to other great apes. The distal femur is one area where heterochrony has been hypothesized to explain morphological differentiation among Plio-Pleistocene

The DNA binding parvulin Par17 is targeted to the mitochondrial matrix by a recently evolved prepeptide uniquely present in Hominidae

BMC Biology, 2007
Background The parvulin-type peptidyl prolyl cis/trans isomerase Par14 is highly conserved in all metazoans. The recently identified parvulin Par17 contains an additional N-terminal domain whose occurrence and function was the focus of the present study.

The Reaction Specificity of Mammalian ALOX15 Orthologs is Changed During Late Primate Evolution and These Alterations Might Offer Evolutionary Advantages for Hominidae

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Arachidonic acid lipoxygenases (ALOXs) have been implicated in the immune response of mammals. The reaction specificity of these enzymes is decisive for their biological functions and ALOX classification is based on this enzyme property.
