The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3397-3415, November 2026.Abstract An ultrastructural morphometric analysis of the postnatal development of the lung in the gray short‐tailed opossum (Monodelphis domestica) has been conducted to evaluate the morphofunctional status of this poorly developed marsupial lung immediately following parturition.

Fleas From the Northern Hairy‐Nosed Wombat and Other Mammalian Hosts of Australia
Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 4, November 2026.ABSTRACT One of us (DKM) amassed a collection of 283 adult fleas (18 species) from donations by staff of the Queensland National Parks and Wildlife Service and other mammalogists, over 20 years (1967–87). Among this large collection were the first fleas to be found on three species of Australian mammals: (i) Lasiorhinus krefftii, the northern hairy ...

Sit‐and‐Wait for the Agoutis: Dung Beetle Phoresy on Dasyprocta azarae in a Tropical Forest
Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 6, November 2026.ABSTRACT We document the first case of phoresy by dung beetles with a rodent, involving Canthon (Goniocanthon) smaragdulus subviridis and agoutis (Dasyprocta azarae). Camera traps set in a tropical forest recorded 21 phoretic events, with agoutis carrying 1–6 beetles each. This behavior likely enhances how beetles locate fresh dung.

The variability of giraffe skull morphology
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 249, Issue 5, Page 1068-1086, November 2026.What does giraffe skull shape tell us about their development and evolution? Abstract Giraffe (Giraffa spp.) are among the most unique and charismatic extant animals, largely due to their distinct morphology. The evolutionary and developmental origin of ossicones is a key factor in giraffid biology, yet other features building their characteristic head

Humans are not unique: difficult birth is common in placental mammals
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 5, Page 2214-2239, October 2026.ABSTRACT Human childbirth is widely presumed to be uniquely difficult and dangerous compared to birth in other mammals. Tight fetopelvic proportions can result in obstructed labour and contribute to high rates of maternal and neonatal mortality. Ideas summarised under the ‘obstetrical dilemma’ have contributed to this assumption by explaining difficult
