Journal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 5, Page 685-695, May 2025.Bats are unique among mammals for evolving powered flight. However, very little data are available on the muscle properties and architecture of bat flight muscles. Using diceCT and gross dissection, we show that the Egyptian fruit bat pectoralis is optimised for power, and the elbow flexion/extension group is optimised for high forces with large PCSA ...

A Latitudinal Gradient of Reference Genomes
Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Global inequality rooted in legacies of colonialism and uneven development can lead to systematic biases in scientific knowledge. In ecology and evolutionary biology, findings, funding and research effort are disproportionately concentrated at high latitudes, while biological diversity is concentrated at low latitudes.

A new species of the “condylarth” Hyopsodus from the middle Eocene of the Erlian Basin, Inner Mongolia, China, and its biostratigraphic implications [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2021 The “condylarth” genus Hyopsodus is diverse and abundantly represented in Eocene mammalian faunas of North America. In contrast, fossil specimens of Hyopsodus are rather sparse in Eurasia. Only four species of Hyopsodus are known from Asia and two from

Carnivore community reassembly provides a test of Eltonian niche conservatism
Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 5, May 2025.The repatriation of species is common, especially in conservation efforts aimed at restoring trophic interactions. Whether the Eltonian niches of restored species are conserved in reassembled ecological communities is largely unknown. Within mammalian carnivores, we hypothesized that the Eltonian niches of sympatric competitors would be structured by ...

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 23, Issue 5, Page 1702-1712, May 2025.Summary CRISPR‐Cas‐based cytosine base editors (CBEs) are prominent tools that perform site‐specific and precise C‐to‐T conversions catalysed by cytidine deaminases. However, their use is often constrained by stringent editing preferences for genomic contexts, off‐target effects and restricted editing windows.

The evolution of muscle spindles
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 6, Page 1769-1782, June 2025.Abstract The Hyaenodonta were the most diverse carnivorous mammals in the European Eocene and were classically divided into three subfamilies: Sinopaninae, Arfianinae, and Proviverrinae, with this latter being the most successful of the three, as it exhibited a much larger geographic and temporal range.

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 6, Page 1783-1800, June 2025.Abstract Anoplotheriines (Mammalia, Artiodactyla) were enigmatic, medium‐ to large‐sized ungulates that lived in Western Europe from the late middle Eocene to the earliest Oligocene. The unusual dental and postcranial specializations of these Paleogene mammals have no equivalent in other Cenozoic or contemporaneous artiodactyls on Holarctic landmasses.
