Sharpening our understanding of saber‐tooth biomechanics
Abstract Saber‐teeth are a striking example of convergent evolution in vertebrate predators, having evolved multiple times in mammals and their early ancestors. While there is broad consensus that saber‐toothed taxa employed a distinct biting strategy compared to conical‐toothed carnivores, like the lion, the precise mechanics and variability of this ...

Mineralized area of the human rib cross‐sections from early puberty until adulthood
Abstract Ribs undergo numerous changes during growth and development. Although they occur both externally and internally, the latter are not as extensively documented during the transition from puberty to adulthood. Therefore, it is unknown how rib cross‐sectional mineralized area changes during this period.

Two rare cases of concomitant dental anomalies-supernumerary and missing teeth
Though supernumerary tooth / teeth, particularly mesiodens are not rare, the condition in which supernumerary teeth occur with one or more congenitally missing teeth in the same or opposite arch, in absence of any syndrome is unusual.

Commentary: What's so interesting about sabertooths?
Abstract Sabertooth creatures are fascinating to the public and to scientists. This Special Issue on The Anatomy of Sabertooths starts with a discussion of what exactly a sabertooth is, continues with a couple of papers about other animals with extraordinarily long teeth, and then delves into analyses of fossil sabertoothed taxa—some of which are not ...

Abstract Domesticated European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) have long been chosen as laboratory model organisms. Despite this, there has been no definitive study of the vertebral musculature of wild rabbits. Relevant descriptions of well‐studied veterinary model mammals (such as dogs) are generally applicable, but not appropriate for a species ...
