From armadillos to sloths: Patterns and variations in xenarthran coronary anatomy

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Species of the superorder Xenarthra play a vital ecological role in the Neotropics. Despite their evolutionary significance, anatomical studies on their coronary circulation remain scarce. This study investigated the coronary anatomy of 82 hearts from nine Xenarthra species across the Dasypodidae, Myrmecophagidae, and Bradypodidae.

Exploitation of Rabbits at the Dawn of the Holocene: Evidence From the Font Voltada Site (Northeastern Iberia) Using Comparative Neotaphonomic Models

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During the transition from the Pleistocene to the Holocene, hunter‐gatherer societies in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula increased the number of settlements and broadened their subsistence strategies. This period is marked by the appearance of terrestrial snail accumulations attributable to human harvesting, the expansion of specialized ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Dress for success: climate pressures predict fur insulation and body size in natural and reintroduced populations of a threatened marsupial

Oikos, EarlyView.
Phenotypic variation in functional traits underpins responses to environmental gradients, influencing thermoregulation, energy balance, and long‐term persistence under climate extremes. Climate change is altering these gradients globally, yet in species that have already disappeared from much of their range, adaptive phenotypes may have also been lost,
