Who was the real sabertooth predator: Thylacosmilus or Thylacoleo?

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2896-2912, November 2025.
Abstract Sabertoothed mammalian predators, all now extinct, were almost exclusively feloid carnivorans (Eutheria, Placentalia): here a couple of extinct metatherian predators are considered in comparison with the placental sabertooths. Thylacosmilus (the “marsupial sabertooth”) and Thylacoleo (the “marsupial lion”) were both relatively large (puma ...

A Tale of Two Tails: Untangling the Phylogeography and Demographic History of Extant Species of Mulgara (Dasycercus spp.) in the Australian Arid Zone

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Australia's arid and semi‐arid zones cover about 70% of the continent, yet our understanding of the biogeography of these diverse and expansive landscapes remains limited. Mulgara (Dasycercus spp.; Marsupialia: Dasyuridae), a widely distributed mammal taxon, offers an opportunity to explore patterns of the population structure across the ...

Cellular Composition of the Brain of a Northern Minke Whale

open access: yesJournal of Comparative Neurology, Volume 533, Issue 9, September 2025.
Avelino‐de‐Souza et al. show that the minke whale has 3.2 billion neurons in the cerebral cortex, as predicted for a generic cetartiodactyl species, which places it and other cetaceans between monkeys and great apes in a ranking of mammal and bird species by total numbers of neurons in the pallium/cerebral cortex.
