Turbinal bones are still one of the last frontiers of the tetrapod skull: hypotheses, challenges and perspectives

Biological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 6, Page 2304-2337, December 2024.
ABSTRACT Turbinals are bony or cartilaginous structures that are present in the nasal cavity of most tetrapods. They are involved in key functions such as olfaction, heat, and moisture conservation, as well as protection of the respiratory tract. Despite recent studies that challenged long‐standing hypotheses about their physiological and genomic ...

A Robust and Versatile Mating Function for Two‐Sex Population Projection Models Fitting all Types of Mating Systems

Ecology Letters, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2024.
Commonly used two‐sex discrete‐time population projection models rely on mating functions developed for continuous‐time frameworks that overestimate the number of unions between reproductive individuals. We propose a novel mating function that is robust by obeying all properties necessary to be ecologically valid and flexible by accommodating all ...

A nearly complete juvenile skull of the marsupial Sparassocynus derivatus from the Pliocene of Argentina, the affinities of “sparassocynids”, and the diversification of opossums (Marsupialia; Didelphimorphia; Didelphidae) [PDF]
