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 ...

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs
Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.

Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

People are spending increasing amounts of time on airplanes. Nevertheless, few studies have characterized the concentrations of ultrafine particles (UFP) and black carbon (BC) in aircraft cabins, which are particulate pollutants known to have adverse ...

Unfused transverse foramen of the atlas vertebra in the Neandertal lineage fossils
Abstract In anatomically modern humans, the atlas can display an unfused transverse foramen (UTF) but currently the presence of UTF in the Neandertal lineage is uncertain due to a scarcity of prevalence studies and no exhaustive record of its presence throughout the entire hominin fossil record.

Abstract Softshell turtles (Pan‐Trionychidae) are an early branching clade of hidden‐necked turtles (Cryptodira) with a rich fossil record extending back to the Early Cretaceous. The evolutionary history of softshell turtles is still unresolved because of their conservative morphology combined with high levels of polymorphism related to morphological ...

Patterns of spinal motion, kinematic spaces and the land‐to‐sea transition in carnivorans
Using 3D reconstructions, we quantify intervertebral joint mobility to investigate how cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebral regions evolved distinct kinematic roles in pinnipeds. The findings reveal lineage‐specific adaptations for swimming and highlight the functional significance of vertebral joint flexibility in ecological transitions.

Objective Pain is the hallmark symptom of osteoarthritis (OA), and its biologic drivers remain poorly understood. Although the role of innate immunity in OA has been extensively studied, the involvement of adaptive immunity, in particular Treg cells, is not well understood.

Per‐ and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Hand Osteoarthritis: Data From the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Objective To explore whether biologic levels of specific per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and a mixture of PFAS—reflecting the overall effect and accounting for correlations among PFAS—relate to incident hand osteoarthritis (HOA) and progression.

Immersive reality capabilities of relieving hiraeth
Abstract Understanding how immersive experiences foster a sense of presence sufficient to rival real‐world experiences remains an open research area. Prior work has largely examined episodic memory recall in simulated environments, but less is known about how immersive technologies can reconnect individuals with personal memories.
