The origin and evolution of air sacs in pterosaurs and their forerunners

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Pneumatized pterosauromorph vertebrae and their phylogenetic context. Abstract Although the existence of postcranial pneumaticity and the inferred presence of air sacs connected to the lungs are well established in Pterosauria, the origin of this system in pterosaurs remains unclear. We investigated skeletal pneumaticity in the Triassic pterosauromorph

Revised phylogenomic analysis and Cretaceous fossil evidence reveal new insights into evolution of Scirtinae (Coleoptera: Scirtidae)

open access: yesJournal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
The molecular phylogeny of Scirtinae based on ultraconserved elements is reanalyzed using the site‐heterogeneous model CAT‐GTR+G4. A new scirtine fossil, Serracyphon philipsi gen. et sp. nov., is reported from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, and its placement is evaluated in light of the updated phylogenomic framework of Scirtinae.

Assessing the relative influence of island climatic and geographical factors on body size in an endangered iguana species of the French Caribbean

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, EarlyView.
This study examines the influence of climatic and geographical factors on the body size of iguanas in the Lesser Antilles. We show that iguana body size increases with island size and decreases with distance from the mainland, suggesting that geographical conditions have a greater influence on body size compared to climatic conditions.

Genomic Insights Into the Origin, Decline and Recovery of the Once Critically Endangered Iberian Lynx

open access: yesMolecular Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Iberian lynx was at the brink of extinction by the year 2000 but has since then, and thanks to intensive conservation measures, gone through a remarkable recovery, providing a much‐welcomed and encouraging conservation success story.
