Comparing cranial biomechanics between Barbourofelis fricki and Smilodon fatalis: Is there a universal killing‐bite among saber‐toothed predators?

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2962-2975, November 2025.
Abstract Saber‐tooths, extinct apex predators with long and blade‐like upper canines, have appeared iteratively at least five times in the evolutionary history of vertebrates. Although saber‐tooths exhibit a relatively diverse range of morphologies, it is widely accepted that all killed their prey using the same predatory behavior. In this study, we CT‐

Growing sabers: Mandibular shape and biomechanical performance trajectories during the ontogeny of Smilodon fatalis

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2976-2993, November 2025.
Abstract The evolution of organisms can be studied through the lens of developmental systems, as the timing of development of morphological features is an important aspect to consider when studying a phenotype. Such data can be challenging to obtain in fossil amniotes owing to the scarcity of their fossil record. However, the numerous remains of Rancho

Myological and osteological approaches to gape and bite force reconstruction in Smilodon fatalis

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2944-2961, November 2025.
Abstract Masticatory gape and bite force are important behavioral and ecological variables. While much has been written about the highly derived masticatory anatomy of Smilodon fatalis, there remains a great deal of debate about their masticatory behaviors.

Commentary: What's so interesting about sabertooths?

The Anatomical Record, Volume 308, Issue 11, Page 2825-2830, November 2025.
Abstract Sabertooth creatures are fascinating to the public and to scientists. This Special Issue on The Anatomy of Sabertooths starts with a discussion of what exactly a sabertooth is, continues with a couple of papers about other animals with extraordinarily long teeth, and then delves into analyses of fossil sabertoothed taxa—some of which are not ...

Equine temporomandibular joint diseases: A systematic review

Equine Veterinary Journal, Volume 57, Issue 6, Page 1427-1445, November 2025.
Abstract Background The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a unique joint that enables mandibular movement. Temporomandibular diseases (TMDs) impair joint function, leading to more or less specific clinical signs. Objectives To compile and disseminate clinical data and research findings from existing publications on equine TMD.
