Functional morphology of the pharyngeal teeth of the ocean sunfish, Mola mola
Abstract Many fish use a set of pharyngeal jaws in their throat to aid in prey capture and processing, particularly of large or complex prey. In this study—combining dissection, CT scanning, histology, and performance testing—we demonstrate a novel use of pharyngeal teeth in the ocean sunfish (Mola mola), a species for which pharyngeal jaw anatomy had ...

LAND MOLLUSC FAUNAS OF BIAŁOWIEŻA FOREST (POLAND), AND THE CHARACTER AND SURVIVAL OF FOREST FAUNAS IN THE NORTH EUROPEAN PLAIN [PDF]
The land mollusc faunas of three plant associations in the Bial/owiez . a Forest, Poland, were sampled in 2001/2. Overall 51 species were recorded, of which 45 were found in Circaeo-Alnetum (CA; floodplain forest), 38 in Tilio-Carpinetum (TC; mixed forests on eutrophic soils), and 35 species in MelittoCarpinetum (MC; mixed forests on meso- to ...

Patterns of spinal motion, kinematic spaces and the land‐to‐sea transition in carnivorans
Using 3D reconstructions, we quantify intervertebral joint mobility to investigate how cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebral regions evolved distinct kinematic roles in pinnipeds. The findings reveal lineage‐specific adaptations for swimming and highlight the functional significance of vertebral joint flexibility in ecological transitions.

Analysis of the adventitious fauna of terrestrial molluscs in the centre of the Russian Plain
The terrestrial mollusc fauna of the central part of the Russian Plain has been analysed with respect to its species composition and the proportion of adventitious species. The classification of adventitious species follows that accepted in Russia. Considerable changes in the fauna took place in the period 2016–2020.

Three‐dimensional digital analysis of musteloid masticatory muscle architecture
Musteloids span an enormous breadth of dietary modes within a single superfamily. In this study, we utilize digital dissection techniques to reconstruct the internal 3D anatomy of muscles within the musteloid feeding apparatus, and explore how dietary specializations might alter the size, orientation, and curvature of fascicles therein.
