Fish Scales: A Multifunctional Biomaterial from Nature

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Fish scales demonstrate nature's solution to impact protection through overlapping multilayered architecture. This biological design combines mineralized surfaces with collagen networks to achieve both flexibility and fracture resistance. The structural principles inspire advanced protective materials and biomedical implants, where damage tolerance ...

Phylogenetically‐informed estimates of notosuchian (Archosauria, Crocodylomorpha) body size and the challenges of inferring macroevolutionary patterns in extinct groups

Palaeontology, Volume 69, Issue 3, 2026.
Abstract Notosuchian crocodylomorphs were predominantly active terrestrial predators, exhibiting a wide range of ecomorphological specializations and body sizes. Given that body size plays an important role in the life history of vertebrates, its accurate estimation for notosuchians is crucial for understanding macroevolutionary and macroecological ...

Placoderm fauna from the Connemarra Formation (?late Lochkovian, Early Devonian), central New South Wales

, 2006
Two new placoderm taxa, based on isolated dermal plates from the head and trunk shields and body scales, are described from ?late Lochkovian (Early Devonian) limestones of the Connemarra Formation, central New South Wales.

Synapsids and sensitivity: Broad survey of tetrapod trigeminal canal morphology supports an evolutionary trend of increasing facial tactile specialization in the mammal lineage

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 4, Page 864-911, April 2026.
Abstract The trigeminus nerve (cranial nerve V) is a large and significant conduit of sensory information from the face to the brain, with its three branches extending over the head to innervate a wide variety of integumentary sensory receptors, primarily tactile.

A new selenosteid placoderm from the Late Devonian of the eastern Anti-Atlas (Morocco) with preserved body outline and its ecomorphology

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Placoderms are an extinct group of early jawed vertebrates that play a key role in understanding the evolution of the gnathostome body plan, including the origin of novelties such as jaws, teeth, and pelvic fins.

The lower jaw of Devonian ray‐finned fishes (Actinopterygii): Anatomy, relationships, and functional morphology

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 3, Page 550-602, March 2026.
Abstract Actinopterygii is a major extant vertebrate group, but limited data are available for its earliest members. Here we investigate the morphology of Devonian actinopterygians, focusing on the lower jaw. We use X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to provide comprehensive descriptions of the mandibles of 19 species, which span the whole of the Devonian

Placoderms and the evolutionary origin of teeth: a comment on Rücklin & Donoghue (2015) [PDF]

Biology Letters, 2016
The extinct Devonian placoderms (armoured jawed fishes) [[1][1],[2][2]] are central to the question of tooth origins, because some have denticulate ‘toothplates’ within the mouth cavity.
