The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Palaeontology: A Hook to the Past [PDF]
Current Biology, 2016 The poorly understood Triassic reptile Drepanosaurus is known for its excessively large claws. New discoveries demonstrate a remarkable modification of the bones in the wrist and forearm, a significant departure from the typical five-digit tetrapod limb.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract A recent debate has emerged between Caspar et al. (2024) and Herculano‐Houzel (2023) on inferring extinct dinosaur cognition by estimating brain neuron counts. While thought‐provoking, the discussion largely overlooks the function of cognition, as well as partly neglects the difficulties involved in estimating neuron numbers, which according ...

Paraseqences in the Kotroman Formation, Western Serbia [PDF]
Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2011 An attempt was made to describe two parasequences separated within the sediments of the Kotroman Formation at the Mokra Gora Village in western Serbia. The whole formation, of Albian-Cenomanian age, in some general characteristics corresponds to

Palaeontology: The New Conservative [PDF]
Current Biology, 2010 Cambrian Orsten-type fossils have yielded specimens with a uniquely detailed morphology from the early stages of animal evolution. A newly discovered crustacean larva illustrates how morphology and lifestyle over half a billion years ago closely resembled those of extant relatives.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.A new musculoskeletal reconstruction and revision of the cranio‐mandibular anatomy of the Devonian arthrodire placoderm Dunkleosteus terrelli from a comparative and functional anatomical perspective. Dunkleosteus is a specialized arthrodire with many specializations for feeding on large vertebrates, and many of its features are part of broader ...

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...
