Anatomy, morphology and evolution of the patella in squamate lizards and tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) [PDF]

, 2016
The patella (kneecap) is the largest and best-known of the sesamoid bones, postulated to confer biomechanical advantages including increasing joint leverage and reinforcing the tendon against compression.

They come in all sizes: integrative systematics and morphological radiation of Scherotheca (Lumbricidae, Crassiclitellata)

Cladistics, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 581-599, December 2025.
Abstract Scherotheca is amongst the most diverse earthworm genera within Lumbricidae, exhibiting striking ecomorphological radiation—from small epigeic‐like forms to giant anecic species. Accurate systematics is critical for exploring such diversification.

ppgm: an R package for integrating neontological, palaeontological, and climate data in a phylogenetic comparative framework

Palaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
Abstract Understanding how changes in climate affect habitat availability for species through time is critical for macroevolutionary, ecological, and conservation research. When combined with palaeoclimate reconstructions, the fossil record provides insights into how species' geographic distributions have responded to past climate shifts, including ...
