Morphological diversity of saber‐tooth upper canines and its functional implications
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Elongated upper canine teeth, commonly known as saber‐teeth, have evolved three times within the sub‐order Feliformia. The species that wielded them flourished throughout the Cenozoic and have historically been separated into two morphological groups: the dirk‐tooths with longer, flatter canines, and the scimitar‐tooths with shorter, serrated ...

Hypercanines: Not just for sabertooths
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Hypercanines are here defined as hypertrophied caniniform teeth, that is, canine teeth that are elongated to serve specific functions in different clades of mammals and their synapsid ancestors. This article presents an overview of the occurrence of hypercanines, their growth, and their function across a broad range of clades.

Myological and osteological approaches to gape and bite force reconstruction in Smilodon fatalis
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Masticatory gape and bite force are important behavioral and ecological variables. While much has been written about the highly derived masticatory anatomy of Smilodon fatalis, there remains a great deal of debate about their masticatory behaviors.

Predicting ecology and hearing sensitivities in Parapontoporia—An extinct long‐snouted dolphin
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Analyses of the cetacean (whale and dolphin) inner ear provide glimpses into the ecology and evolution of extinct and extant groups. The paleoecology of the long‐snouted odontocete (toothed whale) group, Parapontoporia, is primarily marine with its depositional context also suggesting freshwater tolerance.

Disparity of turbinal bones in placental mammals
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Turbinals are key bony elements of the mammalian nasal cavity, involved in heat and moisture conservation as well as olfaction. While turbinals are well known in some groups, their diversity is poorly understood at the scale of placental mammals, which span 21 orders.
