Hindlimb functional morphology and locomotor biomechanics of the small Late Triassic pseudosuchian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum (Archosauria: Gracilisuchidae)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
A three‐dimensional biomechanical model of the musculoskeletal system is used to analyse the potential locomotor functions of the small (~1 kg) Late Triassic archosaurian reptile Gracilisuchus stipanicicorum. The study finds that, potentially like the ancestral archosaur, this taxon was probably quadrupedal, plantigrade and neither strongly sprawling ...

Divergent defense strategies and niche partitioning in Cretaceous micro‐beetles

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We report a new clambid beetle from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, Scutacalyptus kolibaci gen. et sp. nov., characterized by a flattened body and explanate margins. Alongside spiny and conglobating clambid forms, this diversity reflects niche partitioning and varied antipredator strategies in the Cretaceous forest floor.

Morphological traits and environmental preferences of the Blunt‐headed tree snake Imantodes cenchoa: the effects of sex and ontogeny

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
Understanding how animals interact with their environment across life stages is key for conservation. In our long‐term study of the Blunt‐headed tree snake (Imantodes cenchoa) in the tropical rainforest of Los Tuxtlas, Mexico, we tracked over 240 individuals and found age‐related differences in environmental preferences.

Autumn season lizard metabolism is explained by temperature and body mass but does not support cold adaptation across the latitudinal thermal gradient

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
The metabolic cold adaptation hypothesis posits that populations inhabiting higher latitudes and altitudes will have increased metabolic rates to compensate for colder temperatures and shorter activity periods constraining energy use. This compensatory evolution may be exhibited in ectotherms that grow faster and larger in colder environments compared ...

Rapid postfire color shift in a Mediterranean lizard

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
We quantified dorsal luminosity and color composition of Psammodromus algirus in burned and adjacent unburned habitats at different times since fire. Lizards inhabiting recently burned areas displayed lighter dorsal coloration, particularly during the early stages of postfire succession, with the effect being more pronounced in larger individuals ...
