The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2487-2506, September 2026.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2262-2285, September 2026.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Development of an AI‐Based Damage Detection System Including Classification Thresholds for Steel Structure Defects

open access: yesce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 2983-2988, September 2026.
Abstract Infrastructure and structural buildings degrade over time due to usage and environmental influences, leading to various types of damage. Regular inspections enable early detection and assessment, allowing preventive maintenance before safety is compromised. Manual documentation and evaluation require significant time and personnel.

The Fate of Coral Feeding Scars Following Predation by Individual Crown‐of‐Thorns Seastars

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Low density populations of crown‐of‐thorns seastars (COTS) create consistent‐sized feeding scars across diverse coral taxa at One Tree Reef on the southern Great Barrier Reef. While most feeding scars were initially colonised by turf and crustose coralline algae, a quarter showed signs of live coral tissue regeneration after 22 weeks, with Montipora ...

Corallivore assemblage, feeding behavior, and cover of Acropora corals drive fish corallivory on tropical reefs

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Understanding spatial patterns and drivers of corallivory is essential for assessing reef resilience and identifying recovery pathways. Fish corallivory patterns arise from the complex direct and indirect effects of key factors, including food availability (cover of preferred corals), the nature of the corallivore assemblage (richness and ...
