The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Morphological variation in atlas and axis of Neotropical spiny rats (Rodentia, Echimyidae)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The unique morphologies of the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, represent a significant innovation in mammalian evolution. These structures support the weight of the head and enable intricate movements of the head and neck.

Magnetic fabric of the late Miocene extrusive rocks of the Combia Volcanic Province: Tectonic implications for the northern Andes

Earth and Planetary Physics
The accretion of the Panama–Chocó Block to the South American Plate partially drove the geological setting of the northern Andes. This event occurred in different collisional stages that are recorded in Oligocene–middle Miocene deformed rocks of the ...

REEFS AND BIOACCUMULATIONS IN THE MIOCENE DEPOSITS OF THE NORTH CROATIAN BASIN – AMAZING DIVERSITY YET TO BE DESCRIBED

Rudarsko-geološko-naftni Zbornik, 2016
During the early stages of the Middle Miocene transgression marine biota invaded the newly formed Paratethys Sea. Reefs and reef-like structures particularly flourished with life, supported by the favourable climate conditions.
