Craniogenetic studies in Sus scrofa: With emphasis on the ‘orbitosphenoid’ problem
Abstract The orbitosphenoid is a skeletal element of the endocranium of extant mammals. However, it has also been described in many of their fossil ancestors. Craniogenetic studies show that it is composed of two types of bone: first, the cartilaginous ala orbitalis and parts of the trabecular plate are transformed by endochondral ossification; second,

Peptide sequences from the first Castoroides ohioensis skull and the utility of old museum collections for palaeoproteomics. [PDF]
Vertebrate fossils have been collected for hundreds of years and are stored in museum collections around the world. These remains provide a readily available resource to search for preserved proteins; however, the vast majority of palaeoproteomic studies

Freshwater reservoir offsets on radiocarbon-dated dog bone from the headwaters of the St. Lawrence River, USA [PDF]
Isotopic analysis of dog (Canis lupus familiaris) bone recovered from archaeological sites as proxies for human bone is becoming common in North America. Chronological placement of the dogs is often determined through radiocarbon dating of dog bone.

Opening the treasure chest: A DNA-barcoding primer set for most higher taxa of Central European birds and mammals from museum collections. [PDF]
DNA-barcoding is a rapidly developing method for efficiently identifying samples to species level by means of short standard DNA sequences. However, reliable species assignment requires the availability of a comprehensive DNA barcode reference library ...

Complete mitochondrial genome and phylogenetic analysis of the Atrato slider, Trachemys medemi (Testudines, Emydidae) [PDF]
The mitochondrial genome of three Trachemys medemi was sequenced and annotated for the first time. The mitochondrial genome is a circular DNA molecule of 16,711–16,810 bp in size, with 60.9% AT content. It includes 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes,
