But how does it smell? An investigation of olfactory bulb size among living and fossil primates and other euarchontoglirans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Analysis of cranial endocast data of 181 extant and 41 fossil species from Euarchontoglires shows that there was a reduction in olfactory bulb size in Crown Primates, but that there were also subsequent reductions in various other primate clades (Anthropoidea, Catarrhini, Platyrrhini, crown Cercopithecoidea, Hominoidea).

The coelurosaur theropods of the Romualdo formation, early Cretaceous (Aptian) of Brazil: Santanaraptor placidus meets Mirischia asymmetrica

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The upper carbonate concretion levels of the Romualdo Formation (Aptian, Brazil) have yielded several theropod dinosaur remains, including spinosaurids and the coelurosaurs Santanaraptor placidus and Mirischia asymmetrica, the phylogenetic affinities of which are controversial.

Assessing the effects of diabetes mellitus on the monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio and the QuantiFERON-TB gold plus assays for tuberculosis treatment monitoring: a prospective cohort study

Frontiers in Immunology
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an important risk factor for the development of active tuberculosis (TB). QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus (QFT-P), white blood cell count (WBC) assays and monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) reflect the inflammatory reactions associated

An ontological morphological phylogenetic framework for living and extinct ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The ray‐finned fishes include one out of every two species of living vertebrates on Earth and have an abundant fossil record stretching 380 million years into the past. The division of systematic knowledge of ray‐finned fishes between paleontologists working on extinct animals and neontologists studying extant species has obscured the ...
