Unravelling the phylogeny of armadillos and their kin (Mammalia, Xenarthra, Cingulata) combining morphological, molecular, and stratigraphic data

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cingulata, a major lineage of Xenarthra, comprises extinct and extant armoured placental mammals that diversified throughout the Cenozoic. Despite extensive study, phylogenetic hypotheses based on morphological and molecular data remain incongruent, and no total evidence analysis has been conducted. Here, we integrate the largest morphological

Uppermost Pleistocene shrews (Mammalia, Soricidae) from Vaskapu Cave (N-Hungary) [PDF]

, 1999
Three shrew species (Sorex araneus LINNAEUS1758, Sorex minutus LlNNAEUS1766 and Sorex alpinus SHINZ1837) were found in the fossiliferous sediments of Vaskapu Cave, near Felsötárkány.

Adaptive capacity of alpine fauna in Australia

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Assessment of adaptive capacity can provide insights into the mechanisms behind the vulnerability of some of Australia's most threatened species to climate change, such as the endangered mountain pygmy possum (Burramys parvus). Our results highlight diversity in the adaptive capacity of Australia's alpine animals and suggest that climate change will ...

Updating the forelimb anatomy of the domestic cat (Felis catus, Felidae) based on evolutionary inferences of its muscles and nerves I: Shoulder and brachium

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
In this study, we provide a detailed description of the shoulder and brachium muscles and the brachial plexus of the domestic cat (Felis catus). We identified muscular variants (articularis humeri, coracobrachialis longus, biceps brachii caput breve), clarified the independence of the anconeus medialis muscle from the triceps brachii muscle, and ...

Histological analysis of incremental markings and crown growth characteristics in mandibular first molars of the red fox, Vulpes vulpes (Canidae, Mammalia)

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This paper histologically analyzed incremental markings in dental enamel of red fox and grey wolf. Our results demonstrate that previous studies have misidentified these markings, which led to miscalculation of dental growth parameters. Abstract The present study analyzed incremental markings in the enamel of eight mandibular first molars (M1) of red ...

Anatomical description of the jaw muscles and theoretical bite force assessment in South American opossums using manual and digital dissection methods

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Manual and virtual dissections were employed to examine the masticatory muscle architecture and bite force of three South American marsupials. The organisation of the muscles differed between species, with predicted bite forces exceeding previous estimates.

The pectoralis muscle orientation as an indicator of the modes of wing‐propelled locomotion in birds

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
The pectoralis orientation of birds was consistent with the orientation of the aerodynamic force acting on the wing, varying by wing‐propelled locomotion (WPL) mode. The skeletal morphology unique to each WPL mode, related to the origin/insertion of the pectoralis, may be associated with these functional demands of pectoralis orientation.
