The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2315-2330, September 2026.Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.Abstract Linear regressions between total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) are widely used to infer the balance between net ecosystem calcification (NEC) and net ecosystem production (NEP) in coral reefs. Using high‐frequency carbonate chemistry observations from an Australian reef flat and simple numerical models, we show that TA ...

Antipredatory Strategies of Anurans: An Updated Conceptual Review
Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 9, Page 662-708, September 2026.To unravel the evolutionary dynamics of predator–prey interactions, we propose an updated, three‐tiered classification of anuran antipredatory strategies. By mapping non‐behavioral, individual, and group defenses across five functional phases, this integrative framework introduces the concept of synergetic coupling.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 2151-2175, August 2026.Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

3D anatomical atlas of the heads of male and female adult Chamaeleo calyptratus
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 8, Page 1937-1969, August 2026.The veiled chameleon is a model organism in reptile development research. Utilizing contrast‐enhanced microCT and deep learning segmentation models, we have generated the first digital atlases of the skull, nervous system, cranial muscles and hyolingual muscles.
