Comparative cranial biomechanics reveal macroevolutionary trends in theropod dinosaurs, with emphasis on Tyrannosauroidea

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3036-3076, November 2026.
Abstract Tyrannosaurus is viewed as a model organism in vertebrate paleontology, with numerous studies analyzing its feeding biomechanics. Nonetheless, the evolution of this feeding performance has been under‐addressed in Tyrannosauroidea, especially in basal tyrannosauroids. Here we used muscle‐force reconstruction and finite element analysis (FEA) to

Unraveling the Relationship Between Nr4a2 and Fezf1 Expression in the Developing Feline Telencephalon Within the Genoarchitectonic Context of Claustral and Amygdalar Development

Journal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 534, Issue 11, November 2026.
To define the emergence of the claustral complex in relation to the expression patterns of Nr4a2 and Fezf1 in the domestic cat, a species with more protracted prenatal development than the mouse, we performed a genoarchitectonic analysis. Nr4a2 marked differentiating claustral neurons within the LPall mantle, whereas Fezf1 was broadly expressed in the ...

The Impact of Ants and Vertebrate Predators on Arthropods and Plants: A Meta‐Analysis

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2026.
We analyzed 486 global datasets to assess how the absence of predators affects predatory and herbivorous arthropods, arthropod richness, and plant damage. Vertebrate predator removal increased predatory arthropods by 18%, herbivores by 75%, and plant damage by 47%, while ant removal caused a 53% rise in herbivores and a 146% increase in plant damage ...
