Cuon Versus Canis: A Comparative Guide to the Morphological Distinction of Postcranial Bones and Its Archaeo‐Paleontological Implications

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 263-283, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT The genera Cuon and Canis are part of the carnivore guild during the late Middle and Late Pleistocene in Europe. However, most identifications in archaeo‐palaeontological contexts are made on cranial and dental elements as these are taxonomically the most diagnostic anatomical regions.

Impact of Life History on Hippopotamus Skull Ontogeny

open access: yesEvolution &Development, Volume 27, Issue 3, September 2025.
Main life‐history events and traits of the hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius) and its skeletal and craniomandibular developmental processes. The major skull changes in infancy (0–3 years) and puberty (10–15 years) and the late stabilization (20–25 years) of the mandibular shape with respect to the cranial shape stand out.

Neotaphonomic Analysis of Bone Accumulation by a Nocturnal Raptor (Bubo bubo): Evidence From Avian Remains in Oliva Mountain (Tarragona, Spain)

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 136-150, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Raptors play a major role in the formation of avian bone assemblages. To distinguish the agents responsible for accumulations, it is necessary to deepen their taphonomic patterns, derived from the consumption process carried out by the predator. These patterns aid in interpreting fossil assemblages, facilitating palaeoecological reconstruction

Written in bones: palaeoclimate histotaphonomic history inferred from a complete Megatherium skeleton preserved in the Atacama Desert

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract A nearly complete and relatively well‐preserved skeleton of the giant ground sloth Megatherium sp. in the hyperarid core of the Atacama Desert reveals how climate related taphonomic processes drastically transformed these remains over time.
