Giants in the cold: Morphological evidence for vascular heat retention in the viscera but not the skeletal muscle of the basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fewer than 50 of the over 30,000 extant species of fishes have developed anatomical specializations facilitating endothermy in specific body regions. The plankton‐feeding basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus), traditionally classified as an ectotherm, was recently shown to have regionally endothermic traits such as centralized red muscle (RM ...

Building a Non‐Farmhouse: Labor Migration, Construction, and the Decline of Peasant Agriculture in Rural Peru

open access: yesThe Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Anthropology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper examines how residential architecture engages with lifestyles and livelihoods, permitting some activities while foreclosing others. Focusing on houses built by Teodora, her father, and her son in the Peruvian peasant community of Allpachico, I show how experiences of migration paid for and informed the designs of, and materials used

Coupling Phase Equilibrium Modelling and Apatite‐in‐Garnet Elastic Barometry to Unravel the P–T Path of the Micaschist Unit From the Zicavo Metamorphic Complex (Corsica, France)

open access: yesJournal of Metamorphic Geology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To gain insights into the pressure–temperature evolution of a scarcely studied portion of the Variscan basement of Corsica in southern Europe, we combined phase equilibrium modelling, Zr‐in‐rutile thermometry and apatite‐in‐garnet elastic barometry. We investigated Grt‐St micaschist rocks containing garnet grains of several millimetres in size

Multiple exostoses and an osteochondroma in a Pliocene canid from Langebaanweg ‘E’ Quarry (South Africa)

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Overview of XS of pathological radius. Using anatomical descriptions, CT scanning and bone histology, we investigate several skeletal overgrowths of bone (exostoses) in the skeleton of a jackal‐like canid from the world famous Langebaanweg, a Mio‐Pliocene locality in South Africa.

Thickness measurements and micro‐CT imaging of human temporo‐mandibular discs

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
This study aimed to analyze the morphology of human temporo‐mandibular discs. We measured thickness at nine points, observed disc perforations, and highlighted the potential of micro‐CT imaging to map thickness variations and improve the diagnosis of TMJ‐related conditions like osteoarthritis.
