First occurrences of Trionychidae (Testudines, Cryptodira) from the Miocene of Poland: Detailed cranial anatomy and biogeographic implications

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Fossil finds from three Middle Miocene sites in Poland reveal the northernmost known presence of trionychid turtles in Europe, tentatively identified as Trionyx cf. vindobonensis, suggesting a warmer climate that supported thermophilic species in Central Europe during this period. Abstract Modern trionychids (Testudines, Cryptodira) have a pan‐tropical

Comparative endocranial anatomy in the crocodylians Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei from the upper Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Leidyosuchus canadensis and Stangerochampsa mccabei share endocranial features such as posterior projection of a neurovascular canal in the maxilla and a paratympanic sinus system most similar to those of small‐bodied and young extant crocodylians, suggesting that these pedomorphic features may reflect the ancestral crocodylian condition.

Historical shifts, geographic biases, and biological constraints shape mammal species discovery

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Taxonomic descriptions of mammals have become more robust from 1990 to 2025, with increased specimen sampling, broader comparisons, and more integrative methods. However, disparities remain: tropical and small‐bodied species are less comprehensively described, reflecting ongoing geographic and biological biases.

Mineralized area of the human rib cross‐sections from early puberty until adulthood

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 649-656, March 2026.
Abstract Ribs undergo numerous changes during growth and development. Although they occur both externally and internally, the latter are not as extensively documented during the transition from puberty to adulthood. Therefore, it is unknown how rib cross‐sectional mineralized area changes during this period.

Topographic Analysis of Infraorbital and Supraorbital Foramina in Four Cattle Breeds

open access: yesVeterinary Medicine and Science, Volume 12, Issue 2, March 2026.
This study evaluates breed‐related topographic differences of infraorbital and supraorbital foramina in four cattle breeds. Six craniofacial measurements were obtained from 92 skulls. Significant interbreed variation was identified, particularly in Holstein and Simmental cattle, providing morphometric reference data relevant for accurate regional ...

The Traces of Repression in the Bones: Experiences of Exhumation, Identification and Anthropological Analysis in Mass Graves in Andalusia (Spain)

open access: yesWIREs Forensic Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
Forensic anthropology as an element of social reconciliation in the processes of resignification and dignification of the victims of the Spanish Civil War and Francoism. ABSTRACT The application of forensic anthropological methodology in interventions aimed at the exhumation of victims of Francoism is of paramount importance.

New information on Late Triassic sauropodomorph dinosaurs provides support for the independent acquisition of postcranial skeletal pneumaticity in avemetatarsalian lineages

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 541-578, March 2026.
PSP in early‐branching sauropodomorphs probably evolved first in the neural arches of the posterior cervical vertebrae, expanding anteriorly and posteriorly along the vertebral column. The distribution of PSP in Late Triassic early‐branching sauropodomorphs does not appear to be correlated with body size.
