Neo‐Taphonomic Analysis of Prey Bone Remains Accumulated by Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos): A Case of Nests in Southern France

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 481-497, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

EARLY PLIOCENE LAGOMORPHS FROM TOLLO DE CHICLANA-1B (GUADIX BASIN, SPAIN): NEW PERSPECTIVES ON THE EVOLUTION AND THE PALEOBIOGEOGRAPHY OF LATE NEOGENE WESTERN EUROPEAN LAGORMORPHA

Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia
The continental record of the Guadix Basin (southern Spain) documents a fundamental time-window for the evolution of leporids and prolagids. Here we provide the first attempt of a taxonomic revision of the lagomorphs of the Guadix Basin (Prolagus aff ...

Ungulate responses to the addition of silicate rock powder in acidified oak (Quercus robur) forests at the Veluwe, the Netherlands

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.
Abstract Introduction Addition of silicate rock powder (SRP) is an increasingly used measure to restore vegetation and fauna on acidified mineral‐poor soils in protected areas. In theory, however, the positive effects of SRP addition on vegetation may be offset by grazing and browsing ungulates attracted to higher‐quality forage.

Ontogeny of the malleus in Mesocricetus auratus (Mammalia, Rodentia): Systematic and functional implications for the muroid middle ear

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 989-1004, April 2026.
Abstract The three mammalian auditory ossicles enhance sound transmission from the tympanic membrane to the inner ear. The anterior anchoring of the malleus is one of the key characters for functional classification of the auditory ossicles. Previous studies revealed a medial outgrowth of the mallear anterior process, the processus internus ...

Graman Revisited Once Again: A Reanalysis of the Late Holocene Legacy Faunal Assemblage From GB4 Rockshelter, New South Wales

Archaeology in Oceania, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 199-220, April 2026.
ABSTRACT The archaeological site Graman B4 provided one of the first records of substantial dietary change in ancient Australian Aboriginal society. Initial examination of the faunal remains from this site suggested that Late Holocene hunters reduced their focus on high‐ranked kangaroos to increasingly rely on arboreal possums; and that these ...

Landscape Composition and Proximity to Water Affect American Badger Occupancy in Shortgrass Prairies 景观组成和与水的距离影响矮草草原中美洲獾的占域率

Wildlife Letters, Volume 4, Issue 1, Page 23-31, March 2026.
American badgers, a medium‐sized carnivore occurring in much of North America, are important predators in prairie landscapes though our understanding of their habitat use requirements in these areas is unclear. We used a multi‐scale approach to understand American badger habitat use at both local and landscape scales.

Evolutionary morphology of the rabbit skull [PDF]

PeerJ, 2016
The skull of leporids (rabbits and hares) is highly transformed, typified by pronounced arching of the dorsal skull and ventral flexion of the facial region (i.e., facial tilt).
